If you’re still curious as to what drove Dave Chappelle to walk away from his $50-million Comedy Central contract last year, you can search for clues in the final three shows he shot before heading to South Africa to “check his intentions.” Chappelle’s Show: The Lost Episodes (Uncensored) features behind-the-scenes footage of the sketch comic and his cast as they work on skits that spoof (among other things) MTV Cribs. As well, you can look forward to some wicked imitations of P. Diddy, crunk pioneer Lil Jon and one of the most celebrated easy targets in Hollywood, the little man himself, Gary Coleman.

Also out this week is the Warner Bros. Pictures Tough Guys Collection, which features Humphrey Bogart in the 1937 prison drama San Quentin, Edward G. Robinson in the 1938 prohibition crime-com A Slight Case of Murder, and Bogie and Robinson both in the 1936 mobster thriller Bullets or Ballots. The six-film box-set also boasts three James Cagney films including the 1940 boxing noir City for Conquest, the 1939 socially conscious murder mystery Each Dawn I Die and the 1935 gangster flick ‘G’ Men. —Sarah Rowland
