Culturedog Sam Hatch is spending his downtime watching as many LDs as possible, and here’s the newest report back – a review of John Patrick Shanley’s criminally underrated oddball parable Joe Versus the Volcano. Starring Tom Hanks and three Meg Ryans, Joe Versus the Volcano is a visually stunning film with a refreshing mix of styles that was unfortunately sold short as a run-of-the-mill romantic comedy.
Is it worth getting on LaserDisc, which is letterboxed in the film's original theatrical aspect ratio? Or should you just pick up the Warner Archive Blu-Ray? Or both? Only you can make these life-or-death decisions, but Sam is here to let you know what the LD has to offer. Joe Versus the Volcano on LaserDisc… check it out before you jump into the woo!
