Finally, the picks of the week. Alex says, “This week I’m going with Justice League War. I’ve read the comic storyline it’s based on, and I thought it was decent, and I’m looking foreward to seeing it animated.” Blaine says, “Justice League War is the most tempting physical product, but if you’re going digital, go with Thor: The Dark World.”

One reply

  1. Some good bundles of films.

    Does anyone know what prompted the replacement of Aquaman with the World’s Mightiest Mortal in the JLA toon movie?

    As for Joannie and Chachi, this appears to be a partial urban myth. The name sounds superficially like a word used for “penis,” but it would never be subtitled or translated that way. According to Snopes, Scott Baio loves repeating the story about how the character’s name influenced the show’s reception in Korea, but it’s mostly false.

    Dang former child stars.
