Anyone remember the Wing Commander movie from 1999? My buddy hasthat on laser disc, its an okay movie, but I remember its claim to fame was that it Episode 1 The Phantom Menace Trailer was showing with it and people would just pay to see Wing Commander and then once the Trailer was shown would leave the theatre. Maybe you could do a Retrospective of that Oliver? Just a suggestion though, keep making great and entertaining videos man.

I had to do a quick check on Wing Commander, it was announced for LaserDisc but cancelled. So you're probably thinking of another movie your friend had. Wing Commander would've been an early DVD release around that time.

Those old PCM audio tracks really stood the test of time, though it took many years and formats to finally top the audio of LaserDisc I would have to say Dolby Atmos has finally made me give up on watching alot of my LaserDisc movies minus a couple of rarities, but until Dolby Atmos they were the king of audio for sure.

Please, please, please do a retrospective on An American Tale, and its very underappreciated sequel! If, or whenever you do, please see if you can find out why the differences in voices and the addition of sound effect, lines, and music that appear and/or don't appear between the VHS release, and the DVD and Blu Ray release. For example, the mice that bully Fieval during the tragic orphanage scene in the rain say different lines and have different voices in the VHS print, and for years, that is what I was familiar with while growing up. There's even a line or two that you don't hear in the VHS print and a different music cue when Fieval drops into the gramophone looking for Papa, though the DVD and Blu Ray play Horner's music. I still cry when I watch this movie, and Horner's heart-wrenching score can break me up on its own as well.

I own that exact same Ninja Turtles laserdisc. I got it back in 2018 for $10 off a seller from LDDB, not including shipping. Nowadays it goes for somewhere between $50-$100. I also own the original pressing of Die Hard with the original 2-channel Dolby stereo track. It’s a terrific sounding disc.

I actually found the Aliens Special Edition at a store around where I live, and it does look good. Thank you for putting these videos out. Gives me a list of ones to look for!

Would you say you watch a laserdisc over a 4K release. For example - Aliens is rumoured for this year, will you ever go back to the laserdisc if the transfer is immaculate (hopefully not another T2 transfer). Thanks for your reply, pal!
@OliverHarper

@@ColonelSternlove I watch 4K blu-ray's more often than LaserDisc but sometimes you fancy watching an older movie on the LD format as it has that unique video look and the sound is always great on LD, it doesn't really suffer from compression that plagued their DVD counterparts and most often the sound mixes on Laser are presented in their original presentation and haven't been remixed and had the dynamic range reduced. I've been into LD since the late 90s so its certainly nostalgic for me, but for newcomers they probably think im a bit mad! lol But yeah im definitely looking forward to see ALIENS in 4K. I imagine Mr Cameron will fiddle with the picture again!
