How long can we go in this post without mentioning that we now have Magic Mike XXL<\/i>? One sentence, I guess.<\/p>\n

In any event, our latest batch of acquisitions for February 2016 has highlights all over the map. The big under-the-radar hit you’ll want to see is Dope<\/i>, the coming-of-age movie thatrocked the Sundance film festival last year. Documentary fans have some of the best material to watch: Sex (Ed)<\/i> is a hilarious, probing look at poor sexual education through American history, while The Yes Men are Revolting<\/i> shows the famous countercultural protest group the Yes Men reflecting on their legacy and considering calling it a day.<\/p>\n

We also now have Minions<\/i>. You probably already have your mind made up about that one.<\/p>\n

We’re closing in on DVD 13000. What could it be? We’ll find out next month. In the meantime, hit the break for a full list of what’s in stock…
