Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “The Hitchcock set has some underrated gems, though not the best of his British International output.” Alex says, “I’m going with the new release of UltraSeven. I’m glad to see more of these classic Tokusatsu series getting re-released. Otherwise, I like the The Fly boxed set.”
