Very nice... but it doesn't look like they have English subtitles!

Not much good for those of us who are now paying the price for all the punk and metal concerts we went to in the 80's!

The soundtracks are English and there are English subs for the deaf and hard of hearing.

Did you think Mark Gatiss and Kim Newman did their commentary in German? Seriously though, i wouldn't have posted if they weren't English friendly.
