Weekly Digital Disk Picks for June 19th, 2012

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “wait for a better week.” Alex says, “Normally I’d agree with Blaine on this – but Groucho Marx in the Mikado has to be at least worth a rental. I mean, it’s Groucho and Gilbert & Sullivan. Two great tastes that taste great togeather!”

One reply

  1. Curiously there are at least five films called Project X, including two in the last two years. One of those has not yet been released.

    Yeah, kind of a slow week– though I’m a little curious regarding what Groucho did with G&S.
