Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “of this batch, the third Bill and Ted movie is the one I enjoyed the most.” Alex says, “For my UHD release of the week, I’m going with the Arrow release of Inglorious Basterds, and on the Anime side I’m going with Summer Wars, and otherwise I’m going with Blaine on Bill & Ted Face the Music.”
As an aging Gen Xer with now-adult children, Bill & Ted Face the Music was delightful. High art? No, but it didn’t take itself seriously, either.
I’ll be watching Mufasa on Disney+ eventually. I don’t have high hopes, but if it only costs me two hours, I can be down for it. I do miss the days when Disney took the music in their musical movies more seriously.
