Moviegoers may be focusing their attention on JJ Abrams' ode to all things youthful, alien, and Spielbergian in theaters right now, but Super 8's big ugly wasn't the only strange visitor to grace movie screens in recent months. Back in March, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost played a pair of road-tripping alien-aficionado buddies who had a close encounter of the Paul kind. The movie reviewed decently, and fans of Pegg, Frost, or Seth Rogen (who voices the titular alien) will find a lot to like, beginning with supporting cast that includes Kristen Wiig, Sigourney Weaver, Jason Bateman, Bill Hader, Jane Lynch, and a scene-stealing Jeffrey Tambor as indifferent science fiction writer Adam Shadowchild. If you missed it in theaters, Paul will be looking to probe your nether regions as a Blu-ray combo pack, DVD, and digital download this August 9th.

We've got a video below of a very posh interview with Pegg and Frost discussing the set's bonus features, and fans definitely won't be disappointed. You can see the full breakdown below the video, which includes tons of Blu-ray exclusive extras, but also packs enough on the regular DVD that the high-def challenged won't feel too left out. Paul is listing for $39.98 on Blu-ray and $29.98 on DVD.
