Yes. Everyone seems to overlook this when dreaming of full season releases. Not really. You can fit two episodes to one disc (in perfect quality), and then make the discs double sided, so that means 6 discs for a 24 ep season. a 12 episode season can be fit onto 3 or 6 discs. But realistically it's very unlikely they would do that considering that they're bleeding buyers for 1 ep per disc now and getting away with it.

However, it does prove that you can get all the episodes in one box set.

However, it does prove that you can get all the episodes in one box set. Well, just because you can fit four movies onto a disc, doesn't necessarily mean a 24 episode season would be much cheaper for Rhino or consumers. You'd still have rights problems to deal with for all those movies. It would be slightly more realistic for them to split the larger seasons in half (Season Three Vol. 1), but Rhino seems to have enough trouble with four episode sets. That setup seems more realistic for fan made DVD seasons in the not-to-distant future. Stuff like this is easy when you ignore copyright laws altogether.

Its possible, not probable.

Its possible, not probable. Ah, OK. I think we're all in agreement then. Virtual root beer for everyone.

*looks up from drinking virtual root beer* What were we talking about?
Oh yeah, predictions for Volume 8. I have a feeling that this will be sort of like Volume 1. It will have three Mike episodes and a Joel episode. My predictions for the last two episodes are 323 - Castle of Fu Manchu and 909 - Gorgo.

It's been a while since I've seen 323, but I remember it was a tough one for them to get through. What's wrong with 909? I haven't seen the whole episode yet.

Personally, I think 909 is way too English to watch. More English than The Projected Man. I've always had a hard time getting through it.
As for 323...whoo...talk about your hard sells. The movie is on par with Monster a Go-Go, but the riffing certainly isn't of the same quality.

Does the monster spend the whole movie drinking tea and playing cricket? I think my favorite bit from 323 was where J&TB dare the mads to riff the movie. Their riffs are so pathetic it's hilarious. I think Dr. F says something like, "Look, there goes that guy."

Yeah, that's the good part of that ep. Dr. F: Look at that woman. She's really...stupid. Frank: Yeah..she's...wallking... Dr. F: Look at me! I'm walking! ha ha Frank: Yeah...what a dickweed. Dr. F: Ha ha...I was going to say that. Uhh...Hi-Keeba! Frank: Yeah...bite me...

I think there was a funny bit about halfway through the episode where J&TB are riding on magic carpets and wearing fezzes. Tom has a breakdown and starts crying about how it has nothing to do with the movie. They did skits like that several times, but I like how Tom "puts a lantern on it". I may be misremembering this bit though.
