Comments | Blaine: Can ANY of my American friends explain why Flint, Michigan STILL doesn’t have safe drinking water? Alex: Short answer, Michigan politics are messed up. This is a Frontline Documentary so this should spell out why very well (and they also upload a bunch of documentaries on their YouTube channel as well). | ||||||||

Comments | New anime series based on the manga, intending to stay closer to it (as the manga has now concluded). The limited edition release includes a box with space for part 2, Replicas of the Rat and Ox zodiac figures, an “Onigiri” Zodiac figure (it makes sense in context of the show), and a wooden stand with space for all of those figures and the rest of the Chinese Zodiac (+ the cat). | ||||||||

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.”
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.
A summary of my review would be, very well made, too long, and not as good as the first part.
Bureau42’s Reviews are most of the reviews I form opinions on (outside of A24 movies.)
