Blu-ray and physical media are important to many collectors and me, and while it can be a chore these days to get your hands on the discs, nothing brings a bigger smile to my face than cracking open a new Blu-ray. Every week, we will review the week's announcements and news in physical media, highlight the labels still unerathing films that have somehow never been released, and review new discs we have added to our collections. Let's dive into the week, shall we?

Blu-ray News Of The Week

-StudioCanal will put out a new 4K Blu-ray combo pack release of the original Highlander, which is celebrating its 40th anniversary. It will release on June 29. Here is the artwork on the cover.

-All you Bring It On fans can celebrate, as Universal is putting out a seven-movie collection for the franchise. I had no idea there were that many. It is out on May 19.

–Vinegar Syndrome has announced their April releases, and they include Mutant (1984), Escape from Death (1989), Faces of Death (1978), Ténèbres Françaises (1970-1977), and Eurocrime Rarities: Volume 1 (1977-1980). Mutant is my purchase from this batch, and I never in a million years thought I would get a full-blown edition of it to own.

-While it did not do well at all in theaters, some enjoyed The Bride! and those who did can own it on 4K Blu-ray on May 19.

-Lionsgate Limited has announced a new 4K Blu-ray edition of Scream 4 for June 9. Let's hope it is better than the first release. Speaking of Scream, part seven is also set to hit disc on June 16.

-Shout and Scream Factory have announced their June releases, and they include Day of the Dead (1985), The Burbs (1989), The Money Pit (1986), Them! (1954), What Dreams May Come (1998), Bowfinger (1999), Slither (2006), The Flintstones (1994), and Arcane: League of Legends Season Two (2022-2023). What a list! I think the only one I won't be buying is Arcane, because I have no idea what it is. But June will be all about Day of the Dead.
