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.

That link I was talking about at the end of the show is right here: https://www.vulture.com/2019/10/disney-is-quietly-placing-classic-fox-movies-into-its-vault.html
