Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “My 4K pick of the week is Blood Simple – one of the films that helped get the Cohen Brothers on the map, with Oldboy being a close second. Otherwise, I’m going with Doctor Who: The Underwater Menace.” Blaine says, “I haven’t seen anything that I can strongly recommend, but I’m definitely looking forward to Doctor Who: The Underwater Menace and the newest Kino Lorber Film Noir collection.”
I might grab Waitress: The Musical. I know we’ve been wanting to catch it on stage, but it’s always sold out when it comes through town.
At some point, I should watch Cutthroat Island, if only to see if it’s really “that bad”.
