Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “My pick of the week, if you have the way to watch 4K UHD films, would be the Godfather trilogy, with Come Drink With Me or Millennium Actress coming in as a follow-up.” Blaine says, “the titles I’ve seen don’t jump out at me. I admit I’ve only seen the first Godfather film and it didn’t grab me as much as I’d expect based on its reputation, but I look forward to revisiting it later this year to record the podcast. My expectations may have been unreasonably high, given its reputation.”
I should just grin and bear it and watch The Core. Just to get it out of the way.
