This week, we're looking at a couple of issues of a magazine that...as far as I know, no one's ever covered online. Let's check out some choice pages from the Laserdisc snobs' rag of choice, Laserviews (America's Laser Disc Magazine!).

Barring anything catastrophic, next week should be a thrifting episode.

Oddity Archive: Episode 284.2 – Ben’s Junk: Laserviews Laserdisc Magazines

I set out to discuss laserdiscs and wound up on a tear about various movies. Ain’t that always the way?

Funny enough, the first 4K blu ray that Criterion released was also Citizen Kane. I bet the laser disc is worth a lot since it was the first laser disc they released and then withdrawn when Warner Brothers took back the license. Also, some of the Looney Tunes have their best master only on laser disc, nowhere else. Loved this Ben’s Junk Ben. Happy travels.

I have that AbFab Box set and love it! I also have the Dream is Alive, it's pretty terrible as a film, IMHO, but maybe the quality/features are what makes it? I've only watched it once. I was hoping it would be more like 'For All Mankind.' I'd be happy to donate the Dream is Alive to your cause, if you want it.
