Physical Media Appreciation Month kicks off this week with Sorcerer from 1977. This forgotten masterpiece from Exorcist director William Friedkin is newly available as an excellent 4K release through The Criterion Collection, filled with killer special features. In this episode Mike and Steven look at the film's storied production, its poor theatrical reception, and the newfound appreciation film buffs have found for it. This is a fun and detailed conversation that you won't want to miss.

And in the news segment this week:

• The future of Hulu
• Paramount buys High Side, the new project from director James Mangold and Timothée Chalamet.
