My FINAL 2025 Criterion Haul… You Won’t Believe What I Got!

Join me on my final Barnes & Noble trip of the year for the Criterion Collection 50% Off Sale — and what a journey it’s been. From debating 4K upgrades, hunting down classics, dealing with warped slipcovers, and chasing after Terry Gilliam and Stanley Kubrick releases… this haul had everything.

In this video, I take you with me through two Barnes & Noble locations, talk Criterion 4K upgrades, and share my thoughts on Lynch, Kubrick, Kurosawa, Wes Anderson, and more. Plus, I show the final haul that closes out my 2025 Criterion adventure.

If you love physical media, Criterion hauls, 4K reviews, Barnes & Noble hunts, and cinephile talk, this is the video for you.

📀 What’s in the Video?
• Is Blue Velvet worth the 4K upgrade?
• Should I grab Eyes Wide Shut and Barry Lyndon on Criterion 4K?
• Terry Gilliam titles tempting me this year
• The hunt for The Fisher King (and the heartbreak)
• Kurosawa 4Ks — worth the jump from Blu-ray?
• Wes Anderson’s French Dispatch and Isle of Dogs
• My thoughts on Twin Peaks, David Lynch, Kubrick’s filmography, and more
• What I ultimately took home from the sale
