The B-Movie Podcast: B is for Blu-Ray – The Fly Collection Box Set (Scream Factory)

We’ve got a new segment on the Podcast!!! Blu-Ray minisodes! The inaugural episode is about Scream Factory’s new Blu-Ray box set The Fly Collection!

Be afraid… very afraid. That’s right, this box set was just too awesome and big for a simply written review. We had to podcast about this one. The amazing Men and Women of Scream Factory worked overtime to produce this gorgeous set that Adam flipped for.
