Snowpiercer Season 1 and Doom Patrol Season 2

Adapted from the poplar cult graphic novel and movie the Snowpiercer TV series by Warner Bros. has just had its first season released on Blu-ray/Digital Code.

Imagine the not too distant future.  The world has become a frozen wasteland.  The sole survivors now inhabit a train consisting of over a thousand cars.

 Different cars contain individual classes and types of people.

Just like on earth the train has class warfare, the have and have-nots, crime, politics and all the other failings of humanity.

The series examines the struggles, social injustice in a microcosm aboard a train that travels the world on a non-stop trip of survival.  It’s a powerful and thought-provoking examination of the human condition condensed in a mechanized microcosm of mankind.

Extras include several featurettes, a behind-the-scenes interview, the art of the series and much more.  All aboard!

If you’re a fan of the Grant Morrison take on DC Comics Doom Patrol you’re sure to love the Doom Patrol Complete Second Season on Blu-ray.

Join Negative Man, Robotman, Cyborg, Elasti-Woman and the newest team members Crazy Jane, Dorothy Spinner as they and their benefactor The Chief face off against their arch foe Mr. Nobody, enter an alternate world, fight monsters and confront odd, dangerous and outrageous threats.

It’s quirky, full of surprises, mind-blowing and a whole lot of fun.

Humor, pathos and tragedy abound in one of the most unusual TV series ever to be broadcast.  

I’m a huge fan of the original Doom Patrol and absolutely love Grant Morrison’s take on the strangest team of all.

Extras include two featurettes and a few surprises.

Both Doom Patrol and Snowpiercer offer hours of entertainment, thrills, chills and the unexpected.
