I absolutely love this movie. One of Joe Dante's best movies.

I'm pretty sure that it's on Shout's Blu-ray release so it'll be on the Blu-ray here too.

a fun swim in the 50s movie Promotion King, played John Goodman, the in sprit of William Castle. the movie within the movie, Mant is a classic homage to the Atomic Sci-Fi movies of that period...a real fun watch.

Mant!

"Half man, half ant, all terror!"

Arrow Video's 2016 blu-ray is pretty good. If Shout! manage to get Joe Dante to do a feature-length commentary, then I would definitely get the 4K UHD. The supplements featuring Joe Dante on the blu-ray are excellent.

"Half man, half ant, all terror!"

That always reminded me of the promo for The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb - "Half-bone, half-bandage, and all blood-curdling horror!"

I can’t remember if I paid to see this or ‘Chaplin”, but one of these I did sneak into after seeing the other. Regardless, I’ve always thought this was Dante’s best film! Can't wait for the 4K!

"A DELIGHTFUL COMEDY AND ONE OF THE MOST CHARMING MOVIES IN A LONG TIME" – Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times​

SHOUT! STUDIOS PROUDLY PRESENTS JOE DANTE’S MATINEE [COLLECTOR’S EDITION] ARRIVING IN A 4K UHD + BLU-RAY SET ON JUNE 25, 2024 ​

Los Angeles, CA - From the legendary filmmaker Joe Dante, Matinee (Collector’s Edition) presents in a 4K UHD + Blu-ray from Shout! Studios and becomes available on June 25, 2024. The cult classic will entertain fans like never before in a brand new 4K restoration from the original camera negative supervised by the Director himself, as well as a bevy of bonus features including new interviews with the actors and more. Fans of the retro comedy who pre-order from ShoutFactory.com will be treated to an exclusive 18” x 24” rolled poster featuring the original theatrical artwork while supplies last. John Goodman is at his uproarious best as the William Castle-inspired movie promoter Lawrence Woolsey, who brings his unique brand of flashy showmanship to the unsuspecting residents of Key West, Florida. It's 1962, and fifteen-year-old fan Gene Loomis (Simon Fenton) can't wait for the arrival of Woolsey, who is in town to promote his latest offering of atomic power gone berserk, Mant! But the absurd vision of Woolsey's tale takes on a sudden urgency as the Cuban Missile Crisis places the real threat of atomic horror just 90 miles off the coast. With the help of Woolsey's leading lady, Ruth (Cathy Moriarty), the master showman gives Key West a premiere they'll never forget.
