| Comments | If you want to follow along with the X-Files Retrospective Podcast that launches September 10 of this year (the 20th anniversary of the series) and runs every two weeks after that, these are the episodes you’ll need. The series is also on Netflix. The podcast will also cover The Lone Gunmen and select spoofs of the series that come from other series. | ||||||||
Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Doctor Who and The X-Files have releases this week. No collection is complete without both.” Alex’ pick will appear in the comments below.
So, a few notes on the disks this week before I give my picks:
WWE’s Top 25 Feuds
As the list has feuds from outside of the WWE (including Sabu vs. Taz and Tommy Dreamer vs. Raven) I feel good about the quality of the list.
Also, one thing that didn’t make the list is the Judas Priest “Epitaph” DVD, which featured the last show of the band’s farewell tour, which metalheads might be interested in.
Blu-Ray, DVD.
As far as the pick of the week goes, I’m definitely agreeing with Blaine. Either get the last half of the most recent season of Doctor Who, or, if you don’t have them all individually, get the X-Files Box Set Of Doom.
