Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “If you don’t own Ghost in the Shell, I’d say to pick it up (though I’d recommend the earlier UHD release if the option is available). Otherwise, Enter The Dragon is my UHD pick of the week – as I will definitely be upgrading my Blu-Ray copy with the 4K version. I may also pick up the Tokyo The Last Megalopolis release as well.” Blaine says, “I’m still so far behind on media consumption that I haven’t seen anything here that jumps out at me which I’ve already seen, but Akira Kurosawa’s Dreams and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse both sit near the top of my watch list.”
