Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Memory: The Origins of Alien is a documentary that I’ve heard incredible things about – with it being on described as on par with the Star Wars documentary Empire of Dreams. Otherwise, if you have a 4K TV and can play 4K Blu-Rays, I recommend picking up Susperia.” Blaine says, “of the titles I’ve actually seen, I’ll go with Farscape. That said, I keep hearing wonderful things about the original Scarface, starring Paul Muni.”

  1. Farscape is still amazing, and I want to see more stories out on the other side of space. (Farscape: The Next Generation? Does Disney still own Henson, is that something that can show up on Disney+?)

    IT Chapter Two: I wanted to see that in the theater, but by the time we were getting around to seeing it, it was on its way out of the theater and we missed it. I didn’t hear as much good stuff about that, so I was a bit more patient. Glad I’ll get to see it soon.
