WHATYOU CAN’T STREAM Physical media is better. You always have it wherever you go, you don’t need to subscribe, and no one can take it away from you. Not to mention all the cool bonus content! Have you noticed that you can’t even find some movies and TV shows on streaming platforms? Each month we’ll highlight a title you can pick up at JB Hi-Fi but won’t find available digitally.

What does your job entail? I oversee all aspects of physical production and distribution on all of Monster Pictures theatrical, physical, and digital releases, and manage the back catalogue. I liaise with sales agents, filmmakers, talent, cinemas, extras producers, graphic designers, illustrators, and releasing partners to ensure films get the best possible release that is both on time

Brace yourself, because this might come as a shock. Broadchurch , starring David Tennant and Olivia Colman, made its television debut in March 2013. The award-winning British crime-drama about a murder investigation in a small seaside community struck a chord with critics and viewers alike, and remains one of the most highly respected examples of the genre.
