Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m going with Ranma 1/2 as my primary pick of the week. The show is a lot of fun (particularly its first season), with the MST3K box being a close second (as I think Hercules and the Captive Women is the one with the Sand Storm, which is some serious Deep Hurting).” Blains says, “I’d go with the Best of Bogart Collection. It’s well worth the cover price for Maltese Falcon and Casablanca alone.”

  1. Zodiac is brilliant, well worth watching if not buying.

    Dragon Half is completely silly and worth watching if you’re looking for a laugh.

    I’d love to get Walking with Dinosaurs, but I’m afraid I’d have to turn the sound off to avoid the shitty dialog.

  2. A minor typo in the list. “Californian: Sixth Season” should be “Californication: Sixth Season”; not that I’ve actually seen it but somebody might be interested.
