Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “On the Anime side of things, I’m firmly recommending Bocchi the Rock!, as a fun sitcome comedy series with excellent music and equally strong visuals. Otherwise, I’m going to recommend the Arrow Video Conan collection, unless you’ve got a way to play UHD movies, then wait until the UHD version comes out next month.” Blaine says, “Trainspotting is great, and the Criterion Collection treatment always means a high quality end product.

One reply

  1. I remember taking my then 10-year-old brother to see Super Mario Bros. in 1994. It was…a movie.

    I will say, Dennis Hopper does chew ALL the scenery and is making the most of an atrocious script.
