Another week, another edition of The Digital Wire here at Geeks of Doom. Try not to look so enthusiastic. Major Blu-ray/DVD release announcements were scant this week, but news of some interesting titles soon to make their way to multiple home viewing platforms wasn’t, so I’ve compiled the best of the odds ‘n’ ends. We’ve got undead girlfriends, some Southern-fried slaughter, mismatched cops tearing up the Windy City, salacious studio hilarity, and one of the best-reviewed motion pictures of 2014. So I guess that last one is a pretty major announcement. My bad.

Below you’ll find info on several future home video releases complete with technical specs, release dates, and links to pre-order at Amazon. We would greatly appreciate it if you use those links to order because a small percentage of each order helps keep this website running at max power.

The Walking Dead television series is currently ramping up to return to AMC on February 9th to finish out the back half of Season 4, and with it fans are clamoring to find out what happens next. While we wait for the mid-season premiere, two news items have arose that which should provide for plenty of conversations.

First up, there are new updates coming out on where The Walking Dead spin-off series, which was first announced back in September, currently sits in terms of product. Second, a Walking Dead parody movie is about to start filming.
