Each week, the editors at iMore take a look at what's available in iTunes and pick their favorite items for your consideration. Our picks don't have to be the newest releases, just stuff that's caught our eye (or our ear) that we'd like to share. This week we have comedy, giant monsters, electro-funk and more!

Simon Pegg and Nick Frost have created some of the most hilarious offbeat comedy to come out of Britain in years, including the zombie sendup Shaun of the Dead, the riff on big-budget action movies Hot Fuzz and the alien invasion goof The World's End.
