Tried my damnedest to stick to my New Year's resolution and ease up on grabbing whatever took my fancy like a traveller, but had already failed by March this year. Regardless, here's a totally subjective list of what I consider the best releases which I purchased over the year.

Almost included Arrow Films as one of my Villains of 2022, but they did release some great and worthwhile gems this year.
Shout out to all those saps on eBay, who paid silly money for a rare slip card recently. Even if the film was included, it would have still been too much.
Other Notable Media:
Enjoyed reading Robin Bougie's Cinema Sewer Vol. 8 and Bleeding Skull! A 1990s Trash-Horror Odyssey, by Joseph A. Ziemba, Annie Choi & Zack Carlson.
How much did the Dr. Who set you back?
ReplyDeleteJust under £20 for it. There's a deluxe package out there too, but way too pricey for me.
ReplyDeleteNice price!
ReplyDeleteGutted I didn’t see it in the theatre, though. Must have been glorious seeing that Dalek spaceship on the silver screen.
ReplyDeleteYeah it was ace. Helped that the double-bill was on a horribly humid Sunday afternoon so it was nice to spend it in an air-conditioned cinema.
ReplyDeleteCan relate to that. Got real hot a one point during the summer. Could hardly watch anything at home from all the heat.
ReplyDeleteJust a heads up, Mad God is out on DVD in the UK. Guessing some fancy boutique label snapped up the UK distribution rights for the Blu-Ray / 4K formats and that's why those aren't out. Same with forthcoming home release of Crimes of the Future being DVD only in the new year.
Good news. Need Hatching next.
ReplyDeleteAccording to Amazon, its release date is 16.01.23, blud. The wait is almost over. Definitely coppin' all three of those films.
