You’d think that the release of a Monty Python’s The Meaning Of Life Blu-ray ($14.19) would be reason enough to celebrate, especially since this is the film’s first appearance on a high-definition format. Though it was the last movie that the British comedy troupe ever made, it still has some of the funniest bits they ever committed to film. Which makes it all the more painful that Universal Home Video didn’t do a better job with it.

For years, Adult Swim’s stop-motion sketch comedy show Robot Chicken has skewered everything from toys, video games, and other cartoons to movies, TV shows, and celebrities. But the reason it works so well is because it’s made by people who are big fans of the things they’re skewering. Which is good for fans of this show since it means their DVDs and Blu-rays are put together by people who know what fans of Robot Chicken would want on their DVDs and Blu-rays.
