Shout Studios has unveiled its upcoming 4K and Blu-ray releases, headlined by a deluxe edition of “Weird Al” Yankovic’s “UHF.”
In July, Shout will reissue several movies in 4K, including “The Boy and the Heron,” “Phantoms,” “Dark Angel,” and “House of Gucci.”
On the Blu-ray side, “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” will be available in a special steelbook edition, along with “Point Break,” “Natural Born Killers,” and others.
The lineup also includes:
– The Dead Don’t Hurt (written and directed by Viggo Mortenssen)
– Evangelion:3.0+1.11 Thrice Upon a Time
– Ali G InDaHouse
– Storytelling
– Who’s That Girl
* Sacha Baron Cohen’s pre-“Borat” persona is showcased in “Ali G InDaHouse.”
* “Storytelling” is an indie dramedy from Todd Solondz, known for “Welcome to the Dollhouse.”
* Madonna makes one of her earliest film appearances in “Who’s That Girl.”
The standout release is undoubtedly “UHF,” boasting a 4K release packed with exclusive merchandise. The film features Weird Al Yankovic as George Newman, an imaginative daydreamer who becomes the manager of a struggling TV station. Newman’s unconventional approach leads to the creation of eccentric shows like “Stanley Spadowski’s Clubhouse,” “Wheel Of Fish,” and “Raul’s Wild Kingdom.” As Channel 62’s viewership surges, the station faces obstacles and threats that challenge its newfound popularity.
