If you pay attention to obscure UK boutique Blu-ray labels - and who doesn't? - you know that Radiance is the most exciting new player in the market.

With the venerable institution Sight and Sound releasing not only its top 100 list but every last film that got a vote, we decided it was well past time to get classy and choose two feature films to watch.

It sounded so simple. We thought we'd watch every feature-length version of CAPE FEAR that wasn't CAPE FEAR (1962).

Are you ready for this year's Ludicrously Specific Christmas special? We certainly weren't, which is why we recorded this three days after Christmas.
