    I wonder how this holds up? Every time I rewatch it, I always come away thinking that it should've been rated R.
    Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

      The rough cut definitely was. The movie had somewhere in the neighborhood of half an hour of finished footage chopped, mostly for ratings purposes.

      I'd really love to see the full length version some day, as the choppy mess that ended up being released was a huge disappointment.

        I was going to say, this didn't hold up well when it was released. Cool soundtrack as I recall, though.

            Here's the full press release.

            Cool World: Collector’s Edition

            Stylish Dark Comedy from Celebrated Animator Ralph Bakshi Makes Blu-Ray™ Debut Sept 13, 2022

            This September, Shout! Factory will release Cool World Collector’s Edition for the first time on Blu-Ray. Directed by underground animation legend Ralph Bakshi (The Lord Of The Rings), Cool World stars a remarkable cast of Kim Basinger (L.A. Confidential), Brad Pitt (Mr. & Mrs. Smith), and Gabriel Byrne (The Usual Suspects). This hybrid animated/live-action dark comedy creates a fantasy world where human characters and animated roles coexist and showcases Bakshi’s unique and creative animation style.

            The release features a new 4k scan of the film from the original camera negative approved by Bakshi himself, as well as the new retrospective featurette “The Wild Minds of Cool World” including brand-new interviews with star Kim Basinger, director Ralph Bakshi, and producer Frank Mancuso, Jr., the film makes its Blu-Ray debut on September 13, 2022. Fans can now pre-order at ShoutFactory.com

            When ex-con cartoonist Jack Deebs (Gabriel Byrne) was behind bars, he found escape by creating Cool World, a cartoon series featuring a voluptuous vixen named Holli Would (Kim Basinger). But the ‘toonsmith becomes a prisoner of his own fantasies when Holli pulls him into Cool World with a scheme to seduce him and bring herself to life. A hard-boiled detective (Brad Pitt) – the only other human in Cool World – cautions Jack with the law: Noids (humans) don’t have sex with doodles (cartoons). The flesh proves weaker than ink, however, as Holli takes human form in Las Vegas, starting a trans-reality chase that threatens the destruction of both worlds. With a splashy mix of stylish animation and colorful live-action sequences, Cool World delivers the hottest action around!

            Bonus Features:
            ● NEW 2022 4K scan from the original camera negative, approved by director Ralph Bakshi
            ● NEW The Wild Minds of Cool World – A retrospective featurette including brand-new interviews with star Kim Basinger, director Ralph Bakshi, and producer Frank Mancuso, Jr.
