4K BLU-RAY ONLY?! SHOULD BLU-RAY RELEASES BE STOPPED?? | The Blu-ray Show #6
Episode six of The Blu-ray Show sees James and Aiden catch up after a busy week, tease an upcoming bonus episode, and return to their usual Tuesday slot following last week’s technical hiccup. The episode opens with a relaxed catch-up covering YouTube growth, Letterboxd goals, and what they’ve been watching both at home and in cinemas.
Recent viewings include Mary Queen of Scots on 4K, Saipan in cinemas, first-time watches of Good Will Hunting and The Big Lebowski, and a broader discussion around personal film-watching challenges — from 365-film goals to prioritising back-catalogue classics over constant new releases. The pair also talk cinema habits, late-night screenings, format choices, and upcoming trips for films like Send Help, Goat, Crime 101, and Scream 7.
The new releases segment is packed this week, with discussion around Bugonia (4K and steelbook), Seven finally getting a standard 4K release, Lawrence of Arabia arriving in a widely available 4K Amaray, Puss in Boots titles on 4K, The Straight Story, Return of the Living Dead, and multiple boutique label releases. Picks of the week differ, with James choosing Lawrence of Arabia and Aiden opting for Seven.
In the news section, the conversation turns more analytical, covering UK vs US format disparities (Zootropolis Blu-ray only in the UK), upcoming releases like Greenland on 4K, surprise collector’s editions (Hamnet), and the unexpected trend of films skipping Blu-ray entirely in favour of 4K and even DVD. This leads into a broader debate on whether Blu-ray as a format is being quietly phased out, the role of steelbooks and collector editions, and how changing hardware habits may be shaping studio decisions.
The episode closes with a lively discussion on slipcovers — their value, declining availability, and whether collectors would accept cheaper releases without them — setting up a deeper dive into the topic for episode seven.
