Underway now through July 16, Severin Films‘ annual summer sale is the most ambitious in the company’s history. The Dario Argento’s Opera five-disc box set — which you can preview in an exclusive clip below — is the headliner, but there are nine more releases in addition to exclusive merchandise and big savings on past inventory.

Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s Severin Summer Sale…

Opera

In my eyes — held open with needles, of course — Opera is Argento’s last true masterpiece. While the Italian maestro attained fleeting moments of greatness later in his oeuvre, Opera is the last of his efforts that can hold its own alongside his earlier, career-defining work like Suspiria, Deep Red, Tenebrae, and The Bird with the Crystal Plumage.

Co-written by Argento and frequent collaborator Franco Ferrini, the giallo stars Cristina Marsillach as Betty, a young opera singer whose big break...

Spock delivers accurate, jargon-filled lines in Tos & Abrams films, making him a technobabble master of Star Trek. Data's positronic brain in Tng allows for speedy technobabble delivery, often solving problems on the Enterprise-D. O'Brien of Tng & DS9 excels in technobabble delivery, making complex technology sound conversational and relatable.

Star Trek's dialogue is often riddled with technobabble, and certain characters have mastered the delivery of this science jargon more than others. The term technobabble refers to the language used to describe the science and technology of Star Trek's far future and how that technology works. While some of the technobabble is at least somewhat based on real contemporary science, much of it only makes sense within the context of the Star Trek universe. As Starfleet engineers and operations officers deliver these complex lines, they often have to provide clarification for their less science-minded colleagues.

Technobabble is not unique to Star Trek,...

No One Will Save You Vinyl Soundtrack from Waxwork Records

Everyone from Stephen King to Guillermo del Toro has been praising Brian Duffield’s No One Will Save You since it debuted on Hulu last week. Now the film’s original soundtrack is invading vinyl from Waxwork Records.

Composed by Joseph Trapanese, the score is pressed on 180-gram “Invasion” (midnight blue and white swirl) colored vinyl.

The storylines in Seinfeld often paired up the iconic lead characters, like when Jerry and George took a ride in Donald O’Brien’s limo, or when Elaine and Jerry struggled to get rid of the foul smell that randomly appeared in Jerry’s car, or when Jerry and Kramer robbed a grave at a pet cemetery to dig a key out of a dead bird.

One underrated duo in Seinfeld is George and Kramer. While they’re individually praised as two of the funniest characters on the show (and in TV history), their adventures together don’t often get discussed amongst the fan base.
