Television and Movies

Later this year, Mill Creek Entertainment is gonna be releasing Blu-Ray boxsets of both Ultra Q and the original Ultraman Series. Maybe about a decade ago, the first Ultraman Series was released on DVD and I passed up the chance to get it and like a lot of things in life that are niche, it became a bit difficult to find. On the one hand, I don't want to pass up the chance to see these two shows, but on the other hand, I don't feel super psyched about seeing them. Anyone ever see either of these two series? Would you recommend them? As far as Tokusatsu heros are concerned, I've always been a bit more curious about the classic Kamen Rider and Robot Detective shows myself, but they're not available and at this rate, for $40 a box set, I'm willing to take a risk on a mystery series and a classic superhero.

I'm also kind of tempted to get both Them! and The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms on Blu-Ray while they're still easily available. Rewatching the Heisei era of Godzilla is, for some reason, making me want to dive more into pre-'80s special effects films. I think there's something about older special effects techniques that are really resonating with me right now.
