Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Of the stuff this week, while I have not previously seen Sasuraiger, that’s the main show that really grabs me.” Blaine says, “the Doctor Who set is the best of the titles I’ve seen, though I keep hearing good things about True Romance.”
I enjoyed Eve of the Daleks.
Plague at the Golden Gate is excellent– American Experience has been a must-watch of mine since 1988. I recall liking The Coca-Cola Kid, but that was a long time ago now.
