| Comments | Alex: In the future, a totalitarian government has outlawed music due to it’s power over people. Only one group of brave freedom fighters can stand against this cruel force – the warrior/musicians of AKB0048. This show is a vehicle for the J-Pop group AKB48, but it’s apparently way better then it has any right being. | ||||||||

| Comments | Blaine This is billed as an 87 episode collection, so I assume it includes the 65 episode Ray Bradbury Theater run and the first season of Starhunter, omitting the second season which had been rebranded Starhunter 2300 at that point. Otherwise it would be 109 episodes. | ||||||||

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “the Warner Bros. Thriller box set is 60% movies I love and 40% movies I’ve been meaning to see. It’s an easy choice.” Alex says, “I’m going with Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Movie on Blu-Ray. It’s not the best of MST3K, but it’s not terrible either, and it’s certainly one of the best new releases this week”
