Finally, the picks of the week. Blaine says, “every time the Criterion Collection releases a new edition of M, that will be my pick of the week. It’s the first film noir, the first German talking film, the first starring role for Peter Lorre, the first time I wondered if I wanted the police to arrive in time instead of just wondering if they would, and the first to do a number of camera tricks (such as tracking through windows) which other movies (in this case, Citizen Kane) received credit for because German films didn’t make it to North America easily when this was made in the 1930s. Highly, highly recommended, and my favourite movie of all time.” Alex says, “my pick of the week is Daria – The Complete Series. I watched this show regularly on MTV when I was growing up, and this was a bigger series for me than Beavis & Butthead was for my peers.”
