I often look at Imprint’s simplistic and durable style of packaging and think to myself, “Where was this magnificent label during the boom years of box sets?”. Nevertheless, they’re here now giving us collections that are raising the bar, like The Odd Couple Collection which features both films and eleven randomly selected episodes of the […]

Imprint has brought many overlooked classics into the HD fold since launching in mid-2020, and one of their latest is Ida Lupino’s obscure drama Outrage, making its worldwide debut on Blu-ray. Newly engaged with the world at her feet, young woman, Ann Walton (Mala Powers), is raped while on her way home from work. Unable

H.R Pufnstuf was very much a product of its time. While aimed at children, there was clearly something on offer for older viewers, particularly those who like to indulge in mind-altering substances. Now thanks to Via Vision Entertainment fans can once again go on a trip with the feature film prequel of the shot-lived cult

High school sucked; as it did for countless many. Chalk it down to natural law, but there was always comfort through television and film, my preferred means of escape. Freaks and Geeks came to Australia a little after it aired in the United States, but the ill-fated series had even less of a chance here

Imprint has taken a while with dishing out their horror titles, granted they did hit the ground running with a string of exclusive releases, but now in 2022 Australia’s flagship label are catering more and more to fans of the most popular genre. Let’s Scare Jessica to Death, an eerier and sleepy classic from Paramount,

John Fitzgerald Kennedy, his initials especially, still live in the public lexicon, spanning generations. His name is synonymous with hope, equality, progress and of course, countless conspiracy theories pertaining to his public assassination. He’s been portrayed on screen many times by actors ranging from Cliff Robertson to Michel C. Hall, but in between for the

Whether you believe in it or not, the very notion of being taken over by a malevolent force, the recently departed or demonic, is terrifying. The Exorcist, of course, took the idea to its most extreme, shocking audiences the world over but The Possession of Joel Delaney, released one year prior, is a more grounded

Via Vision Entertainment has really stepped things up this year in bringing more classic television to physical media, including the ground-breaking series, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, which came in two separate box sets. Seasons Five to Seven, spanning from 1959 to 1962, is the latter half and arguably a more refined and creative offering of 25-minute

When I think back to the early 90s, when times were simpler, Fried Green Tomatoes was the ultimate chick flick. It was everywhere. Gone with the Wind for new a generation of female audiences. While preoccupied with Batman and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I knew this as a universal truth and appropriately steered clear because

Stemming from its meagre beginning as a penal colony for the British Empire, Australia has developed a colourful criminal history over the two centuries that followed. This unlawful element of the past I think has been glamorized far too often in recent years through numerous overly embellished television series. However, before this tacky trend began,
