Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “On the anime front, I’ve seen all of Ninja Nonsense and loved it immensely, but I also know that the jokes aren’t quite for everyone. Otherwise, I recommend the documentary Thank You For Playing.” Blaine says, “My pick is easily The Breakfast Club, which is my favorite John Hughes film.”

One reply

  1. Part of me wants to watch Geostorm, just to see if it’s “that bad.”

    I know it will be, but the morbid curiosity is strong.
