Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “My 4K Pick of the Week is High Noon. Otherwise if you’re a fan of Lower Decks you’ll want to pick up Season 4.” Blaine says, “I would say Star Trek: Lower Decks and Dune Part Two are both `must have’ titles, with Dune Part Two taking priority. Of course, those of us who prefer physical media will hold out until May 14 for Dune Part Two.”

One reply

  1. Wish was…OK. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t great. Especially for the movie that was supposed to be the cherry atop 100 years of Disney. I had higher hopes with how good Encanto was. I read a little about some of the early drafts of Wish and they actually sound better.

    Alan Tudyk steals every scene as Valentino, however.
