The movie centers on Hubbs and Joe, two guys roaming Torrance for a night that is supposed to be fun and simple. Instead, their search for a beach-area party turns into a parade of dumb luck, escalating trouble, and full-on burnout chaos.

Bradford Tatum, Michael Kopelow, China Kantner, and Renee Allman star in the film, with Melkonian writing the script alongside Rich Wilkes. Over the years, the movie has hung around as a favorite for viewers who like their comedies scruffy, weird, and completely uninterested in playing it safe.

That cult status is exactly why this Blu-ray debut feels like a good fit. Boutique labels and collector lines thrive on titles that have their own strange little wavelength, and The Stöned Age absolutely has one.

What fans get in the new edition

The new set comes with an audio commentary featuring Melkonian and Wilkes. It also includes three added pieces, a retrospective called Back to The Stöned Age, a reunion feature focused on The Blue Torpedo, and an extended scene.

Lionsgate Limited has priced the Blu-ray and digital combo at $24.99. The film runs 90 minutes, carries an R rating, and includes the original English 2.0 theatrical mix with English SDH subtitles. The presentation is widescreen at 1.85:1.

There is also some extra collector appeal in the packaging itself. Artwork for the release comes from Lucas Peverill, which should give the case a little more personality on the shelf.

Press coverage around the launch may include interview access with Melkonian, according to the release notes. Pre-orders are live now through Lionsgate Limited, and publicity materials are already available for outlets that want to line up coverage.

The Stöned Age becomes Vestron Collector’s Series entry number 38 on April 20. If you have a thing for cult comedies, oddball home video pickups, or movies that feel like one long disastrous Saturday night, this one has your name all over it.
