'Life' in a lunchbox - 12:22am

It took a while, but BMG Music has finally announced My So-Called Life: The Complete DVD Collection. Although short-lived, this highly acclaimed teen drama was nominated for several Emmy and Golden Globe awards, and now all 19 episodes are coming to DVD in one giant set. This 5-disc collection runs 900 minutes and is presented in 4:3 full screen and 5.1 surround. A very limited special edition "Lunch Box" will also be released only via select retailers, and includes a bonus 6th disc with all-new interviews with the shows creators. Retail is $99.95 for the standard edition (no MSRP available for the Lunch Box.) Street date 10/8.

Brain candy - 12:22am

More cult fun making its way to DVD this holiday season is the latest Kids in the Hall release, The Kids in the Hall: Tour of Duty. This live special documents their highly successful reunion tour this past year, and features the full show presented in 1.78:1 anamorphic widescreen and 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1, with extras including backstage footage and a featurette. Retail is $19.95, and WIN Media will issue the disc on 11/19.
