Real Genius Now Available on DVD

Posted by chrisd on from the i-think-it-was-a-design-problem dept.

While perusing the Onion today, I came across this review of Real Genius on DVD. No longer must we lower ourselves to watching crumbling VCR tapes of this movie copied off of Cinemax in the early 90s.

    Science?: Real Genius Now Available on DVD

    ...wha? Yes, I know what Real Genius is about. An article about how accurate the science is in the film would maybe even qualify. I just don't think DVDs releases are terribly scientific. Unless you consider marketing a science.

  2. About damn time... by ChiPHeaD23 · · Score: 3, Funny

    Great flick. Funny as hell and a nice 80s soundtrack to boot...

  3. No extras... no surprise... by handsomepete · · Score: 3, Informative

    What a shame. I googled around in hopes of finding some sort of extras but everywhere I looked they listed no extra features. Here's what Amazon had to say:
