1980s Charlie Sheen Film ‘The Wraith’ Due on Blu-ray July 20 From Lionsgate

The 1986 film The Wraith arrives on Blu-ray (plus digital) July 20 from Lionsgate as part of the Vestron Video Collector’s Series.

The Wraith stars Charlie Sheen (“Spin City”), Nick Cassavetes (Face/Off, The Hangover Part II, TV’s “Entourage”), Sherilyn Fenn (“Twin Peaks”) and Randy Quaid. In the film, when four glowing orbs crash into each other over the Arizona desert, they leave in their wake a badass Dodge Turbo Interceptor and its enigmatic, helmeted driver. The next day, the mysterious Jake (Sheen) appears in the town of Brooks, catching the eye of Keri (Fenn) and the ire of Packard (Cassavetes), the ruthless leader of a gang of street racers. When gang members start losing races — and lives — to the Interceptor, the recent death of Keri’s boyfriend suddenly seems connected to the arrival of Jake, the unbeatable car and an avenging entity called The Wraith.

Tubi Secures Streaming Rights to Lionsgate’s ‘Anger Management’

Ad-supported streaming video service Tubi has signed an exclusive deal with Lionsgate to bring all 100 episodes of sitcom “Anger Management” to its viewers.

Viewers can access the show for free across 20 platforms, including Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Comcast Xfinity and Cox Contour.

The show is a loose extension of Sheen’s character on ratings hit “Two and a Half Men,” which had ousted the controversial star after a fallout with series creator Chuck Lorre.

“Anger Management” had a record-setting debut on FX as the most-watched scripted cable comedy series debut.

“We’re excited to be adding ‘Anger Management’ to our comedy offering,” Adam Lewinson, chief content officer at Tubi, said in a statement. “This is just one of many popular series we’re adding to our rapidly growing library of premium content.”

Sheen stars as “Charlie,” a non-traditional therapist specializing in anger management. He has a successful private practice, holding sessions with his group of primary patient regulars each week, as well as performing pro bono counseling for an inmate group at a state prison.

Charlie thrives on the chaos in his life, while still battling his own anger issues. His life is complicated by his relationships with his own therapist/best friend (Selma Blair), an ex-wife (Shawnee Smith) whose positive outlook but poor choices in men frustrates Charlie, and their 13-year-old daughter (Daniela Bobadilla) who has OCD.

Tubi’s content library contains more than 12,000 movies and television series. The service claims its content volume is more than double in size to Netflix – approximately 40,000 hours of content.
