Out this week in home entertainment

The Doctor is in: Marvel's Doctor Strange hits Blu-ray this week, packed with behind-the-scenes features, a blooper reel and a special sneak peak at the next wave of Marvel superhero movies. We particularly love "Team Thor: Part 2," the hilarious mortal-world adventures of Thor and his roommate Darryl. (Seriously, Marvel, if you made this a regular sitcom, we'd watch every week.) There is also an interesting feature in the package that examines how the Marvel Cinematic Universe is influenced by real-life science and philosophy. -- Britton Peele
