ADVENTURE TIME DISTANT LANDS

Warner Bros Home Entertainment provided ageekdaddy.com with a complimentary Adventure Time: Distant Lands Blu-ray for promotional consideration.

The four hour-long Adventure Land specials created for HBO Max that were originally exclusive to the streaming service are now available to purchase on a Blu-ray to add to your home entertainment library. The animated series Adventure Time which follows the adventures of Finn (a human boy) and his best friend and adoptive brother Jake (a dog with magical powers to change shape and size at will) who live in the post-apocalyptic Land of Ooo, originally was broadcast on Cartoon Network from 2010 to 2018. From 2020 - 2021, HBO Max introduced new, original Adventure Time content in its Distant Lands specials that are collected together on one Blu-ray.

ADVENTURE LAND: DISTANT LANDS features the original HBO Max limited series episodes BMO, Obsidian, Together Again, and Wizard City:

BMO

BMO is on his way to Mars when a cute extraterrestrial nicknamed "Olive" knocks his spaceship off course, causing a crash landing on a mysterious space station. Upon realizing this strange place is in peril, self-appointed sheriff BMO enlists Y5, a curious rabbit friend, to help save the day. Will teamwork prevail or will the powers that be foil this adorable duo's good deeds?

OBSIDIAN

When a powerful and dangerous dragon breaks free from its prison beneath the Glass Kingdom, young bookworm Glassboy sets out to find the legendary hero who first defeated the dragon centuries ago: Marceline the Vampire Queen. Marceline, now living in domestic bliss with Princess Bubblegum is apprehensive about revisiting the Glass Kingdom. It is a place that holds bad memories for her and Princess Bubblegum. With the help of Glassboy and some new friends, Marceline and Princess Bubblegum will have to confront their rocky past as they face off against an ancient foe.

TOGETHER AGAIN

A battle-weary Finn returns to a familiar kingdom, only to find that it is under the control of a snake-headed tyrant whose master plan will have devasting consequences for all of Ooo. In order to save the day, Finn will need the help of friends, rivals and especially his beloved brother Jake the Dog. But there's just one problem...he hasn't seen his brother in in years! Not only will Finn have to find Jake before it is too late, but he will have to convince him to return to action for one last adventure together.

WIZARD CITY

Peppermint Butler starts over at the beginning as just another inexperienced Wizard School student. When mysterious events at the campus cast suspicion on Pep and his checkered past, can he muster the mystic arts in time to prove his innocence?

SUPER SHIRTS FROM TV STORE ONLINE

I know the DC super heroes movies directed and produced by Zack Snyder weren't the blockbuster sensations that Warner Bros had hoped for and have received mixed reviews with a fair share of both lovers and haters of this comic book inspired cinematic universe. To be honest, I enjoyed Man of Steel and Batman vs Superman as well as the Aquaman and Wonder Woman spin-off films. It was really disappointing what a mess the Justice League turned into when Joss Whedon took over the reins of making that movie from Zack Snyder and how that effort sunk what could have been a very promising trilogy of DC Comics motion pictures. 

I find it really exciting that Zack Snyder's original vision for Justice League has actually become a reality. Popcorn popped and I'm ready to have a super time watching Zack Snyder's Justice League on HBO Max. Plus I'm donning my Superman t-shirt from TV Store Online to enjoy the moment!

DOOM PATROL ON BLURAY

Warner Bros Home Entertainment provided this dad blogger with free Blu-rays. Opinions expressed are my own.

After spending Friday evenings the last two months watching new adventures of WandaVision stream on Disney+ each night now that mini-series has concluded it is time to tune into a new superhero adventure drama. We've decided to start watching DOOM PATROL together as a family since the first two seasons of this DC Comics inspired tv series recently became available to view on Blu-ray. We hadn't been able to see the show previously because it has been exclusively showing on the DC UNIVERSE and HBO MAX subscription streaming digital content platforms which I haven't bought memberships for. So our family tv viewing tonight is going to be the first few episodes of DOOM PATROL.

Based upon characters and situations from DC Comics, DOOM PATROL is about an idealistic mad scientist who creates a team of misfit heroes who have unique abilities that resulted from tragic circumstances. These superpowered outcasts join together in a series of misadventures. Yet when it comes down to it just may fall on the shoulders of the Doom Patrol to save the world from a supernatural threat that could snuff out life as we know it.

Here are the members of Doom Patrol:

Niles Caulder aka "The Chief" -- a medical doctor who helped save the lives of the Doom Patrol members yet who also orchestrated the events that caused each of them to develop their powers. This is all part of a hidden agenda to protect his daughter Dorothy from a mysterious danger.

Larry Trainor aka "Negative Man" -- a critical thinker with a romantic soul, Air Force test pilot Larry Trainor crashed his plane, exposing him to a mysterious “negative” energy. Now a being of pure energy, Negative Man must remain wrapped in bandages to protect those around him. He’s struggles with strange new powers that isolate him from the rest of humanity.

Cliff Steele aka "Robotman" -- a former race car driver, Cliff Steele was in a horrific accident that left his body uninhabitable. Cliff’s brain was saved by the mysterious "Chief" and he lives on in a powerful robotic body.

Rita Farr aka "Elasti-Woman" -- an actress on the rise, Rita Farr was exposed to a toxic gas that altered her cellular structure. Longing for the days of old, Rita finds a place for herself among The Doom Patrol.

Kay Challis aka "Crazy Jane" -- an unlikely hero suffering from the world’s most severe case of multiple personality disorder. Each of her 64 distinct personas manifest a different superpower making Jane the Doom Patrol’s most powerful member...and also its most unstable.

Victor Stone aka "Cyborg" -- Vic Stone is the charming and sarcastic half-human, half-machine superhero known as Cyborg. Vic may be connected to every computer on the world, but he struggles to maintain the connections that make him human. 

You can purchase Season 1 & Season 2 of DOOM PATROL on Blu-ray from Best Buy. Make a purchase using a Geek Daddy affiliate link and this dad blogger will receive a small commission at no additional expense to you. Your support of ageekdaddy.com is appreciated!
