WWE: Shawn Michaels: The Showstopper Unreleased | |||||||||
Amazon | |||||||||
Comments | Has a whole bunch of previously unreleased Shawn Michaels matches, including a variety of dark matches and house show matches. |
Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m going with the Animaniacs Complete Series collection – that show was a big part of my childhood, and having re-watched some of the episodes, I’d say it holds up fairly well.” Blaine says, “in a week with the entirety of the Doctor Who relaunch available for about $100, I’m also going with Animaniacs. Sure, I met Maurice LaMarche (voice of the Brain) last week, so that may be a bit of a bias, but I met David Tennant and Matt Smith in the same weekend, too. (And Brent Spiner, Kevin Conroy, Neal Adams…. the local con did their celebrity guests really right this year.)”
Cloud Atlas, while certain not the source novel, is worth seeing. I still have not seen Three Identical Strangers, but I followed that story when it was in the news, and the reviews of the documentary strongly recommend it. It’s not genre, but it might as well be.
Despite being a fan of old horror comics, I still have not watched all of Tales from the Crypt, so I might think about that.
And I recall Laugh-In from when I was a very little kid. Groundbreaking at the time, it feels dated now. Check out the Youtube clips if you want to get a taste of this thing. Note: Shows with guest-star lists that include everyone from Ringo Starr to the president were non-existent back then. You never knew who was going to poke their head up on Laugh-In.
