What can we say about this week’s new releases, other than it’s Adventure Time! This week sees the release of Adventure Time’s first complete season to DVD, along with one of the latest films featuring John Cho, American Reunion. The music scene could do a bit better, with only one release from the venerable metal heads P.O.D. Let us know what your favorite new release CD or DVD in this week’s Media Releases is in the comments below.
CDs
Murdered Love, P.O.D.
P.O.D. returns with its blend of metal guitar barrages and Christian worship in their latest album in several years, Murdered Love. Playable on Death’s lead vocalist, Sonny Sandoval, is Pacific Islander-American, specifically of Hawaiian and Chamorro descent.
DVDs
Adventure Time: The Complete First Season, Cartoon Network
Adventure Time follows the, well, adventures of unflappable Finn and magical doggy older brother, Jake, as they make their way through the Land of Ooo. Airing on Cartoon Network, this show garnered its cult following by being from the same cut of sassy smart humor as The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack and Daria.
American Reunion, Universal
John Cho is the only Asian American in this fourth film in the American Pie canon. While this iteration sees the gang deep in the thralls of married (or unmarried) life with children, old habits die hard. Expect crazy bathroom humor with a touch of sentiment.
