Super Badass Geek Stuff: Abbott & Costello Complete Universal Pictures DVD Collection!
“Who’s on first?” Well, I really don’t know, but what I do know is that I can now answer that and any other questions I may have about Abbott & Costello! On a recent exploration of the DVD department at Best Buy, I stumbled upon an awesome new boxed set for the Geekiest of Movie Geeks. A collection for the truest of film buffs, especially those who relish the good ole days of Abbott & Costello!
Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection (DVD Box Set)
This is one Helluva nice boxed set! For me, opening this puppy was like Christmas morning come early! OK… enough of the exclamation points, you get the idea. The set comes packaged in a neat box that resembles a traveling truck plastered with passport stamps of various Abbott & Costello movie posters. The box even opens on a hinge just like a trunk would. However, it’s inside the box where all the real fun begins.
