Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “grab The Manchurian Candidate, a great film with the Criterion Collection treatment.” Alex says, “I agree. Wrestling fans will also want to pick up the NXT collection.”
I would put Game of Thrones as my Pick of the Week, personally. I’m a season (or two) behind so I’m excited to catch it. Not sure what I’m going to do about Season 6 since we’ve moved past the books and things could get well and truly spoiled now.
