The Blu-ray discs of “Wonder Woman” features a Dolby Atmos soundtrack remixed specifically for the home theater environment to place and move audio anywhere in the room, including overhead. To experience Dolby Atmos at home, a Dolby Atmos enabled AV receiver and additional speakers are required, or a Dolby Atmos enabled sound bar; however, Dolby Atmos soundtracks are also fully backward compatible with traditional audio configurations and legacy home entertainment equipment.

“Tennessee Whiskey: The Dean Dillon Story,” arrives on DVD Tuesday Sept. 19. A legend in Nashville, the noted songwriter finally comes out of the shadows and shares his music, his life and the stories behind the hits.  The documentary features interviews with Dillon along with many of the artists from whom he has written—George Strait, Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith, among others. Dillon wrote over 30 No. 1 hit songs for the biggest artists in country music over the past four decades, yet most have never heard his name.

Considered by many to be the last troubadour of songwriters, Dean is back on the road singing his songs and telling his stories in honky tonks and bars, stories behind the song that played when you had your first kiss, the first dance at your wedding, the one on the radio when your child was conceived. A legend in Nashville, yet relatively unknown outside of music city, Dean finally comes out of the shadows and shares his music, his life, and the stories behind the hits in this honest film about a man responsible for songs that shaped an era and helped to create some of music’s biggest stars.

Action icon Steven Seagal takes on a new mission in the exhilarating thrill ride “Cartels,” arriving on Blu-ray (plus Digital HD), DVD, and Digital HD Tuesday Sept. 19 from Lionsgate. The action thriller is currently available On Demand. “Cartels” follows a team of DEA agents who get a special assignment—shadow a drug kingpin to keep him safe from harm—but the tables are turned when the drug lord’s former gang decides to try to take him out. Loaded with thrilling action from start to finish, the film also stars MMA Champion Georges St-Pierre and Luke Goss. Written and directed by Keoni Waxman (“Contract to Kill”), the “Cartels” Blu-ray and DVD will be available for an SRP of $24.99 and $19.98, respectively.

From the makers of “Jack Irish” and “Rake,” and akin to an Australian “Doc Martin,” with its fish-out-of-water premise and eccentric characters, the new medical dramedy “The Heart Guy: Series 1” (“Doctor Doctor” in Australia) makes its DVD debut Tuesday Sept. 19, from Acorn TV, an RLJ Entertainment brand. The series follows a charming and genius doctor forced to return to his hometown and become a local doctor after his personal life spins out of control. This three-disc DVD set features 10 episodes (SRP $49.99, Amazon.com). “The Heart Guy: Series 1” made its U.S. premiere in June on Acorn TV.

Gifted but arrogant heart surgeon Hugh Knight (Rodger Corser, “Glitch”) leads a charmed life in Sydney. He believes his talent lets him live outside the rules—until an incident involving drugs and alcohol brings his world crashing down. Placed on probation and banned from performing surgery, Hugh retreats to his rarely visited hometown of Whyhope in rural Australia.

Working as a GP at an underfunded hospital with a no-nonsense boss (Hayley McElhinney, “The Babadook”), Hugh struggles to re-acclimate to rural life. And his complicated family situation makes his fall from grace even worse. Between his politically ambitious mother (Tina Bursill”), emotionally distant father (Steve Bisley, “The Great Gatsby”), and his ex-girlfriend Charlie (Nicole da Silva, “Wentworth”)—who is now married to his younger brother—Hugh is constantly reminded why he left Whyhope. Hoping to start afresh, he must battle his bad-boy tendencies that could end his medical career for good.

Warner Bros. first cartoon superstar gets an unprecedented presentation on DVD with the Warner Archive Collection (WAC) release of “Porky Pig 101,” a compilation of everyone’s favorite pants-free porcine—from his humble ensemble beginnings to a signature starring role in the studio’s premier cartoon series, Looney Tunes. Presented in chronological order, with key commentaries on select shorts, the five-disc “Porky Pig 101” will be available for purchase starting Tuesday Sept. 19, through wb.com/warnerarchive and your favorite online retailer.

From his start as the break-out star of a schoolhouse talent show in “I Haven’t Got a Hat” to his slimmer, slap-happy sidekick stage alongside Daffy Duck in “Porky Pig’s Feat,” “Porky Pig 101” spotlights the character’s ascent from rascally school gang member to superstar spokespig in this all-encompassing cartoon collection.

“Porky Pig 101” arrives from WAC after the long-planned collection’s five-year internal journey, including the restoration and remastering process of 101 animated shorts. Nearly half of these cartoons have had no previous Home Entertainment release in any format. Many have not been seen in decades subsequent to their original theatrical release, or as part of early television-era airings, which came from substandard, edited elements. All of the cartoons in the collection have now undergone varying degrees of remastering from the best available 35mm elements, including archival nitrate sources.

Fans will finally get a chance to see these cartoons just as they were originally seen in the theaters, and that includes some treasured shorts including Slap Happy Pappy and early Chuck Jones works like Porky’s Prize Pony and Porky’s Ant that actually haven’t been publicly seen in decades.

“Porky Pig 101” gives a unique overview not only of the title character, but of the growth and development of the Warner Bros. cartoons, and the incredible animation legends responsible for their creation. That assemblage of Hall of Fame talent includes animators such as Tex Avery, Bob Clampett, Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, Robert McKimson and Frank Tashlin. Porky Pig 101 also offers insight into the auditory excellence of Warner Bros. cartoons with the impact of Mel Blanc’s arrival at the studio, and his outstanding vocal characterizations leading the studio’s already-impressive array of voice performers, and Carl Stalling’s brilliant musical direction to underscore these shorts with unparalleled wit and acumen.

Bonus features on Porky Pig 101 include commentary on 13 animated shorts by animation and film experts like historians Jerry Beck and Michael Barrier, notable animators Mark Kausler (“Beauty and the Beast”) and Eddie Fitzgerald (“Tiny Toon Adventures”), musicologist Daniel Goldmark, animator/director John Kricfalusi (“Ren & Stimpy”), renowned inker/painter Martha Sigall, and legendary live-action directors Frank Tashlin (“Susan Slept Here,” “The Glass Bottom Boat”) and Joe Dante (“Gremlins,” “Innerspace”).
