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 unearthing 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?

Pick Ups Of The Week
No reviews this week, but I did finally get to add a couple of new discs to the library. I stopped by my local Barnes & Noble and snagged the Criterion Collection 4K Blu-ray releases of The Virgin Suicides (1999) and Network (1976) for the collection. Speaking of Criterion, they are running a big 30% off sale right now, including preorders. You're welcome.
