You've heard me talk about all of my picks on the show at some point, but listen for Michael's as he has some fun choices.

Apologies, but I had to do another video for the youtube channel about more of my favorite Blu-rays of 2020, so you get another episode/audio version of that. There were just too many Blu-rays I still wanted to talk about because 2020 was a great year for physical media. I do hope you enjoy!
