It's not often a DVD release catches us completely by surprise, but this week two DVD Talk Forum members pointed out that Best of Insomniac-Uncensored Vol. 01 was getting released. Best of Insomniac features 5 uncensored episodes from the first season including: New York, Montreal, New Orleans, Houston, and Chicago (total running time is 107 mins.) Although it doesn't have any special features we found Best of Insomniac-Uncensored Vol. 01 priced extremely affordably at Amazon for $11.24. Insomniac with Dave Attell is an extremely funny and sometimes raunchy look at the wonderfully bizarre nightlife at many major American Cities. It's extremely entertaining and so we're glad we caught wind of it's DVD release.
