Netflix TV Show - Merry Happy Whatever s1 (2019) [-] A sitcom set in a Philadelphia suburbs. Emmy (Bridgit Mendler) visits home for Christmas holidays with boyfriend Matt (Brent Morin) in tow. There Matt finds his Los Angeles band guitarist slacker persona running into the brick wall of suburban Catholic middle-America ruled by Emmy's police officer father Don (Dennis Quaid). It's got jokes, a laugh track (or it seems like it has a laugh track), and vanilla-ish characters. It's a very unremarkable sitcom better suited for network television and it was cancelled after one 8-episode season.

Video Game - Fall Guys (2020) [+] Several streamers I watch have been playing Fall Guys today (Aug 04, release date). Sixty players go through six rounds of random levels (from a selection), each time the lowest performers are eliminated. The characters are floppy dudes who are hard to maneuver and fall down a lot. You can grab other players or push them. The levels are half obstacle courses and half team games. Seems pretty fun.

iOS App - Marbles on Stream Mobile (2018) [/] For the dedicated players this app allows you to buy skins and customize your marble. There are also some leaderboards and links to the Discord and Twitch. Unfortunately very few personal stats and I really wanted to see my race history and placements. It's a very bare bones app.
