Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “On the non-anime side, I’m recommending picking up MST3K: The Gauntlet, but for anime fans and fans of animation, if you have a 4K player get Space Adventure Cobra.” Blaine says, “nothing I’ve seen jumps out at me, but All About Eve is very, very high on my ‘must see’ list.”
“Watch out for snakes!”
Has anyone seen Reigo: King of the Sea Monsters ? It sounds as though someone in Japan decided to rip off… Gorgo, one of the more successful rip-offs of the original Godzilla.
I’m looking forward to Season Three of Young Justice. The youngling and I had a lot of fun watching the first two seasons and were pumped it was brought back.
