The Geekly Forecast: November 2nd – November 8th, 2015

The Geekly Forecast is a weekly preview of all the neat stuff coming to screens, stores, and living rooms near you!


Recommendations:

BD/DVD: Whether you got a super-deep meaning out of it, or just enjoyed the touchy-feelyness of it, Inside Out is a movie that would do well joining the classic Pixar home collection. You had me at “Bing Bong.”
TV:
 This week marks the return of a lot of sitcoms for the fall, but we’re still like “yeah, yeah, whatever. The Walking Dead is on!”
Movies: 
Like you even had a chance, Snoopy! Spectre is coming to theaters; this is Bond’s weekend. The movie has shattered UK’s record for openings. However, nobody would blame you for seeing Peanuts or Trumbo instead.
Music: Alright fellas, it’s time to “buy the album for your girlfriend” again. This week is highlighted by releases from Ellie Goulding, Sara Bareilles, Charlie Puth, and Sam Smith. “She’ll” love it.
