Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Spider-Man: No Way Home is my pick for the week, particularly if you elected not to go see it in the theater because it was not safe to do so in your area.” Blaine says, “of the titles I’ve seen, the James Bond set is my pick (based on the strength of Casino Royale and Skyfall, as I haven’t seen Spectre and No Time To Die yet. I’ve seen Quantum of Solace, but wasn’t impressed.) The title I’m most interested in is Spider-Man: No Way Home, although it’s starting to sound like the physical release will be delayed until April 12. The iTunes release in Canada is now expected on March 22.”
