Each week here at Bloody Disgusting we like to highlight some of the new Blu-ray releases hitting shelves across the world. Please note that this isn’t every release for the week, just a few of the ones that jumped out at us.

Final week of August releases have arrived. While it’s a fairly light week compared to week’s past, it’s a good one. A couple of really nice releases from Vinegar Syndrome are out this week that you’ll want to check out. The big release for me this week though is the second season of Star Wars Rebels, definitely worth picking up.
