Our past DVD/Stream/Fansub Picks of the Week

Note: you won’t see any of the pretty cover artwork on this page.  Amazon’s API limits us to 10 APi calls per web page, so instead of using the fancy automated Amazon widget to construct these links, I am using good old HTML links.  As a reminder, buying anything through our Amazon links doesn’t cost you anything extra, and it gives us a little money to help with the server and bandwidth costs for running this podcast.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
