Closing Out 2024 and Welcoming 2025 - HDD's 4K UHD & Blu-ray Shopping Guide, Week of Dec. 31, 2024

 Closing out 2024 and opening up 2025, we see a less than average release schedule. Pushing it full throttle is definitely not sustainable, so we could use the break.

 Welcome to Volume 5 Episode 30 of our weekly release guide. A look at the highlights of what's coming to disc the week of December 29th - January 4th, as well as a look at announcements from last week.

4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Releases-

 No UK imports and no New Releases. Actually, if Kino Lorber had not delayed these three titles, there would be nothing to report this week...

Blu-ray releases-

 Blu-ray counterparts of the above 4K releases include all three, Hatari!, Internal Affairs and Snake Eyes.

 Anime highlights include Dr. STONE - Season 3 Part 2 and Tokyo Ghoul - Complete Series - 10th Anniversary Box Set. Note: Tokyo Ghoul was showing delayed to 12/31 as of 12/17, now it is showing released 12/17.

 Everything else to consider this week...

Notable announcements from last week (and Closing Out):

 Vinegar Syndrome reminds us that their annual subscriber week is this week. Check out their site and strongly consider re-upping. I have enjoyed their releases every month over the past several years that I have been a subscriber.

 Sony will be releasing My Girl on February 25th.

 Gladiator II has an official release date of March 4th

 Check out Arrow Video's March slate of titles.

  We are pressing the pause button on our weekly guides as of this week.
