I am thrilled. They finally released Eating Raoul on DVD!!!

My video store put it out a few days early and I am the first person to rent this copy.

Life can be _good_.

I remember watching this back in the 80’s. It was not until the last year or so that I realized that Raoul was played by the actor who was Chakotay on _Voyager_!

I used to rent Eating Raoul and Parents on a regular basis. I don’t think my parents thought it was healthy. 😃

None.

But at least it is out in widescreen with a remastered Dolby 5.1 soundtrack.
