This week's Blu-ray news includes anniversary releases for Shrek, Crocodile Dundee, and all sorts of great new fall releases.



Article Summary

  • Blu-ray news leads with Shrek 25th anniversary 4K and Steelbook, plus Crocodile Dundee 40th anniversary Steelbook.
  • Radiance Films lines up December Blu-ray releases including Across 110th Street, Ossessione, and more catalog gems.

Blu-ray and physical media are important to many collectors, including 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. We are back to our normal weekly schedule, so let's dive into the news of the week, shall we?
