Food - Trader Joe's Trader Potato Tots [+] It's tater tots (potato hashed and formed into pills) so hard to get wrong. Came out a bit under warmed so the instructions are a bit off. Still, tastes fine and good with ketchup+mayonnaisse.

Podcast - Bleav in 49ers (2019) [+] I've listened to the first 20 episodes (they started with the start of the 2019 season) and the last dozen or so episodes (2022 playoffs and offseason). Former 49ers DB Eric Davis and Rahshaun Haylock talk about the 49ers usually two episodes a week: preview and aftermath of each week's game. Haylock is more podcaster professional and Davis, although has done a lot of professional game commentating, brings more of the emotion and inside tips of a former NFL player on a championship team. And because of the latter it's more insightful than I expected and it's entertaining.

Movie - Monster Hunter (2020) [-] It's based on the video game franchise though I don't know closely. A US Army team in the Middle East gets lost in the desert and are transported to an alien desert world. Captain Natalie Artemis (Milla Jovovich) tries to keep her team alive as they are beset by huge monsters. Eventually she finds an ally in a nameless Hunter (Tony Jaa) and joins his monster hunting team in stopping a dragon guarding a portal back to Earth... It's mid-budget action movie that lacks in story and good characters. I guess maybe it relies too much on the audience knowing the back story already so it doesn't try to explain anything until 2/3rds of the way.
