I recognize that no one really cares what my Blu-ray pick of the week is. Out of the few hundred people who will even see these articles there’s probably only a dozen or so that actually read them. And I can’t imagine any of them are in any way influenced by my choice.

I’m not an influencer. I don’t have millions of followers. You don’t have to click here and subscribe. And that’s okay. I’m fully satisfied with my tiny little corner of the internet.

So, yeah, I totally get that these picks aren’t in any way important. And yet. And still. I take them seriously. I actually do sit and think about what release is my pick.

This is why I must admit to you that this week, I messed up. I picked the wrong thing. Let me explain. What I actually picked this week was Torso, the pretty great, and stylish, and admittedly rather sleazy Giallo from director Sergio Martino. It has a new 4K upgrade from Arrow Video and they’ve loaded it with some new extras.

Normally that would be a great pick. But normally there aren’t nice releases of a Martin Scorsese film celebrating its 25th anniversary. The thing is I saw that release, but assumed it was just another bare-bones release.

That’s what makes these picks so difficult. Everything gets multiple releases now. There were DVD releases and Blu-ray releases, special editions, and anniversaries. Now there is 4K UHD. It never stops. I’m not smart enough to be able to keep up with all the releases and which film has come out in what format with which special features.

But that Bringing Out the Dead release looks pretty fab.

Anyway, my pick is Torso and you can read about it here.
