We examine the value of disc Extras.
Do the documentaries, interviews behind the scenes EPKs and commentaries that chart the journey a movie has taken to get to the screen enhance the film experience or just prove to be a time suck filled with unnecessary info? And what about off-disc extras such as cards, maps, badges and booklets? Would you pay extra for these?

Plus the guys select their top Blu-ray and 4K discs to help you with your purchasing choices for this month.

Presented by Cas Harlow, Mark Costello and Simon Crust.
