Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “On the 4K front, I’m going with – depending on your personal preferences – either the Next Gen collection, or with Cool Hand Luke. Otherwise, I’m giving a clear recommendation for the Cowboy Bebop 25th Anniversary Collection, if you don’t own the show on Blu-Ray, whether or not you’re an anime fan.” Blaine says, “I can easily recommend the Next Generation movies and/or any of the WB 100th Anniversary collections that fit into the budget.”
I resisted getting the Star Trek movies on Blu-ray (I have them on DVD). But 4K might prove that resistance is futile…
