Finally, the picks of the week. We’re both going with Captain America: Civil War as our picks for the week.
The Gumby collection, or the Exotic Dances of Bettie Page?
Seriously, a number of really strong collections come out and I notice (to my dismay, as I own the earlier versions) the latest Universal Legacy Collections include the Abbott and Costello movies.
