Films where Universal's release is the pick. How picks are made

Universal Pictures' home-video division, based in Universal City, California, started in 1980 as MCA Videocassette and has used its current name since 2016. It releases the studio's library, from the 1930s monster films and Hitchcock's later work to new releases, on DVD, Blu-ray and 4K UHD. Since 2021 North American discs have gone through Studio Distribution Services, the Warner Bros. joint venture that disc maker Conectiv bought in August 2026.

Video Notes:

From Fus1on:
Because this is a Judd Apatow comedy from the mid-2000s, it's not quite a stunner in 4K, but it's a MASSIVE improvement from that god-awful 2008 Blu-ray. Very nice grain management, and none of that awful edge enhancement from the old Blu-ray.
