Welcome back to my Home Movies! Today, we have WandaVision getting a 4K release from Marvel, as well as Kenneth Branagh‘s latest Hercule Poirot mystery outing in A Haunting in Venice. What else is hitting shelves this week, you might ask? Read on for more…
WandaVision: The Complete Series (4K)
The “what is grief if not love persevering?” moment will always wreck me, and truly has gotten me more this year. I wrote about that moment here, but this television installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe had some incredible highs. The show blew me away, which isn’t happening as often with the MCU these days. So, if you want to revisit WandaVision, just know that you can do so today in glorious 4K!

*No Criterion Collection releases this week. Check back for more next time around*
Stay tuned for more next week…
You know, in light of The Marvels bombing so badly, and enthusiasm for the MCU in general seeming to wane, I can’t help but wonder if the success and critical acclaim of WandaVision hid how it planted the seeds of what we’re seeing now.
Intertwining this vast canon with the format of streaming shows (in a way they couldn’t just tune out like they could Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) seems to have done something to it that’s turning off general audiences.
There’s definitely an enthusiasm gap, that’s for sure.
