Bluray Tuesday returns! First up from Scream Factory is Rent-A-Pal, which is about a lonely guy looking for his perfect match on a VHS dating system in the 90's hosted by a charming guy who he becomes obsessed with having conversation with. It's a pretty solid film and I look forward to adding it to my collection. It was different from what I initially expected going into it. Next up is The Forest (1982) for the first time on Bluray and one I've never seen but am interested in. Rounding out the week is Dredd 4K steelbook only at Best Buy, Queens of Evil and the My Girl two film collection. So what will you buy, rent or skip this week? Let us know in the comments. Until next week!
