Physical Media: Blu-ray Review by Allison Rose | Oct 09, 2026 Jackass: Best and Last Celebrates 25 Years of Mayhem Blu-ray Review

Jackass: Best and Last mixes new stunts with nearly 25 years of outrageous archival footage, giving longtime fans one more chance to laugh with Knoxville and the crew.

Johnny Knoxville and the Jackass crew return for one final round of outrageous stunts, archival highlights, and physical comedy in Jackass: Best and Last , now available on Blu-ray. Philip John Clapp, known to friends and family as PJ and professionally as Johnny Knoxville, was born 55 years ago in Tennessee (yup, you guessed it...Knoxville). When he was in his 20s, Clapp/Knoxville and his friends would record themselves performing idiotic stunts for laughs.

Black or White

May 12, 2015

Whichever the reason Black or White simply wasn’t as successful as perhaps it could have been and, between the storyline and the talent, it is a shame it won’t be a more memorable movie.

Mar 15, 2015

Sons of Anarchy, one of the most successful cable TV series ever, gave its viewers a good send off. Unlike other series finales, it doesn’t leave anything up in the air but wraps things up tightly.
