AVForums Podcast: 23rd January 2017

In this episode of ScreenTime wIth AVForums, we catch up with our current 4K disc and digital/streaming recommendations. Plus, we compare the UHD disc and streaming options of recent releases The Amateur and Zodiac to see which is the version worth getting hold of. Also, whether you're a hardcore disc collector or dedicated film fan, is 2025 the best time to start your library? Finally, what got the team members started in their reviewing careers and how has the disc/movie reviewing landscape changed over the last 20 years?

With the Red Sonja reboot on the horizon, ScreenTime's Cas Harlow chats with director MJ Bassett about bringing the iconic Robert E. Howard character back to the screen in just three months. They discuss her roots in filmmaking, shifting from horror to TV action, filming in Africa, and the future of AI in cinema - plus a surprising flaw in modern CGI most fans don't notice.

The ScreenTime team returns with 4K disc and streaming picks, weighing the pros and cons of physical discs vs digital VOD to help you choose. Plus, Cas and Mark discuss why they import US 4K releases from Vinegar Syndrome - is it just those magnet clasps?
