Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I have not seen Get Out, but it is on my to-watch list.” Blaine says, “the original Psycho is my favorite release this week. I won’t comment on the sequels, since I’ve never felt the desire to watch them.”
We’ll be doing a review of Get Out soon, but the short review is: Go see it.
