Overall, it’s a pretty slow week for physical media, but Netflix more than makes up for it. Their new agreement with the premium cable channel EPIX kicks off on September 1st; resulting in things like all the Indiana Jones movies, the Star Trek movies, and Iron Man available to instantly stream to your computer, gaming console, smartphone, and whatever else you may own. For $9 a month and being able to have a DVD out at the same time – it’s a steal, in my opinion.

3 movies: In the Year of Our Lord: 1974, In the Year of Our Lord: 1980 and In the Year of Our Lord: 1983.
