Max Headroom DVD box set. Just one of several really cool things Shout Factory has on sale for SDCC.

It will be interesting to see how this plays today. How much was prescient and how much was totally wrong.

I still can't get over the fact that Max Headroom himself is a piece of 80s nostalgia at most and Matt Frewer has become a very successful and welcome character actor. I figured back then that that face behind the mask - it was never actually CGI, sadly - would be forgotten and that Max would be a perennial pitchman.

If Max Headroom is out on DVD, what is so special about it being available on this particular website?

Shout! Factory is the company that produced the DVDs.

And it's a brand-new package, actually released on August 10, making the show available on DVD for the first time in quite awhile.

Right.

I've added the show to my Netflix queue. I really should...

(Do I say this? I know what kind of response it'll generate.)

(Aw, that's their problem.)

...see what all the fuss is about.
