Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “I’m a sucker for Sylvester McCoy, and Paradise Towers is one of Sylvester McCoy’s serials that I’ve been meaning to see for a long time, no matter how cheesy the final result is. On the anime front, I definitely recommend picking up Orphen.” Blaine says, “I’d go with Doctor Who: Revenge of the Cybermen if you don’t have it already.”

  1. Thanks to Amazon Prime, you can order up a cheap double feature of Billy the Kid vs Dracula and Jesse James Meets Frankenstein’s Daughter.

  2. We enjoyed Brightburn, but it was less of a thoughtful look at the idea of Superman, but evil, and more of a typical horror movie where the monster is your protagonist’s kid.

    I am also interested in the Thor and Valkyrie in suits movie (Men in Black: International.)
