Bluray Tuesday Featuring: Mikey, The Wretched & Live Feed

August 11th 2020

Bluray Tuesday creeps up on us once more! First up is one I'm most excited for, Mikey. I watched this one a lot when I was younger, renting it at the video store and watching over and over. I'm glad MVD is releasing this for the first time on Bluray today. Next up from IFC Midnight is The Wretched, another one I enjoyed and will add to the collection in the near future. Unearthed Films releases Live Feed. I've never seen this but it has definitely piqued my interest. Rounding out the week is the Casper steelbook only at Best Buy for its 25th anniversary, the newest season of Blacklist, and The Phantom of The Opera from Scream Factory. So what will you buy, rent or skip this week? Let us know in the comments. Until next week!
