MCBASTARD'S MAUSOLEUM 2024 CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE!




MCBASTARD'S MAUSOLEUM
2024 CHRISTMAS GIFT GUIDE

Well, it's that time of the year again... 'twas about a month before Christmas and all the stockings are hung by the decorative fake LED fireplace with care, in hopes that on Christmas morn physical media film lovers would find Blu-rays and 4K UHD flicks with Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision there... or something like that... 

Naughty or nice, if they're a movie lover get 'em something cool this year, it's been a fantastic year for physical media editions, so there's no shortage of cool stuff to choose from. Tphere were so many awesome box sets, collections and single film editions released this year, it's kind of crazy.  

As is out semi-annual tradition we've put together some movie lovers Christmas gift ideas for you, chock full of Amazon affiliate links (and some cool indie distros, too) to generate some of our own Christmas cheer on the back end. So, have a look-see and hopefully you get some ideas of what to get your cinema loving friends and family, but don't forget to treat yourself, too! This is a list that caters to my own personal preferences of cult-classics, paranoid sci-fi, and vintage horror, and I tried to spice it up with some cool television. Westerns, crime-thrillers, and a nice selection of nostalgic animated releases, all sort of cool stuff.
