Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “Everything Everywhere All At Once is my pick, hands down. I’ve been a fan of Michelle Yeoh’s work for years, and this is a film that really lets her showcase every aspect of her skill as an actor. If she doesn’t get a Best Leading Actress nomination at the Academy Awards for this role, she will have been robbed.” Blaine says, “nothing I’ve seen grabs me, but Everything Everywhere All At Once is very near the top of my ‘to watch’ list.”
