The Great War is a channel on YouTube that covers the 1914-18 conflict which which dramatically changed the world. A unique documentary with a massive scale and filled with video clips and images taken at the time, this show is turning out to be the definitive documentary on WWI. DVD Talk editor John Sinnott had a chance to sit down with Indy Neidell, the lead writer and presenter for the show, and was able to ask him about the how he covers such a large topic, fitting it all into a short time frame, and what he's going to do when he gets to the end. Read about all of this and more in the latest DVD Talk exclusive interview.

Some pretty cool discs have made their way to store shelves over the past couple of weeks. Check out these new titles: Deep Rising: 20th Anniversary Edition - if you love good old-fashioned monster mayhem peppered with visual effects, great atmosphere, colorful characters, and more than a few corny one-liners, this movie will be more "pleasure" than "guilty"; Heaven Can Wait (1943) - Ernst Lubistch's remake of Alexander Hall's Here Comes Mr. Jordan is a fine film with strong performances, and it'll likely play better with new audiences than most comedies from the era; and First Reformed - a must-see for every genre hound and the great A/V transfer sweetens the deal.

Some great DVD and Blu-ray reviews have been added to the the DVD Talk Review Database recently including: The Changeling - director Peter Medak's Canadian-made ghost story film is beautifully crafted, intelligent, well-acted, and one of the scariest "haunted house" movies ever made; Genghis Khan - a curious film worth seeing for its spectacle, and the spectacle several actors make of themselves agreeing to appear in it; and The Death of Stalin - an acid-tipped bit of satire, not just in its brazenness to skewer some of history's greatest monsters, but also its willingness to lean into the darkness without a joke at all.
