There are plenty of commentaries, the feature versions of several of these things, a video essay and a feature-length documentary on Republic serials. Eight discs, almost 2,000 minutes long — limited to 1,500 copies. I cannot wait for this thing!
Thanks to Steve Bowen.

This looks like a great collection even though I’m not a big fan of these films I’ll probably still buy it .It would have been great if these were Republic Westerns .I’m surprised they only announced 3 releases for September.JB HI FI have a 20% off for the next week and I bought THE BEDFORD INCIDENT and MAROONED.
