DVD: JEM and The Holograms the complete series collection

I know this is something many of you have been dying to get your hands on – the complete JEM and The Holograms DVD series.  All 65 original episodes and a crap ton of bonus content are included in this 11 disc box set.

The series “JEM and The Holograms” ran from 1985-’88 in first-run syndication and still boasts a loyal and vocal fan base. It is frequently credited with influencing fashion in the late 1980s and beyond, and launching the careers of female pop-rock stars and music groups.  The series follows Jerrica Benton, whose discovery of Synergy, a powerful computer companion, allows her to transform from co-owner of Starlight Music into rock star Jem.  Teaming with her sister and best friends who form The Holograms, Jem sets out to make their musical dreams come true, even as she battles against the ruthless Eric Raymond and his musical protégés.

And if you need more convincing that this should wind up in your DVD collection, take the jump for the opening theme song.

DVD: Eliza Dushku to play Catwoman in Batman: Year One

TV Guide has announced that Eliza Dushku will play Catwoman in DC’s direct to DVD animated movie, Batman: Year One.

In Catwoman, the femme fatale tangles with crime boss Rough Cut (a brand-new character created for this short, voiced by Futurama’s John DiMaggio) in a breathless and brutal 15-minute chase through Gotham City tracking down a mysterious cargo shipment.

If that doesn’t sound like something you remember from the Frank Miller tale, you’re correct.  This is an animated short that will accompany the feature film.

Batman: Year One arrives on Blu-Ray, DVD, and On Demand on October 18, 2011.
