Urban Wrestling Federation

lesser known ones like Uncle Murda, as opposed to anyone *really* big named) – with each rapper managing a stable of wrestlers. I don’t know how this plays out in practice, but it’s definitely a very interesting concept.

Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “Of the titles I’ve seen, I’d go with Buster Keaton’s Our Hospitality, the Doctor Who set, or the Star Trek: Picard set, depending on which of those titles (if any) is a significant upgrade over your existing collection.” Alex says, “I’m really interested in the two Ultra-Franchise collections, Ultra Q and Ultraman.”

  1. It’s good to see the old Peanuts cartoons remastered.

    That 10 Movie Horror collection is, predictably, a mixed bag, but it includes a few worth watching. I can think of worse horror collections, even if it includes the rather disappointing adaptation of stories from Graveyard Shift.

    And I’m told Killer Nun ranks among the best of the Nunsploitation genre, but I’m uncertain how much of a recommendation that might be.
