Podcast - Apple News in Conversation (2021) [+] Weekly half hour episodes where host Shumita Basu interviews a guest about one topic, mostly political and therefore controversial topics. I've listened to the last few podcasts and it's very liberal-leaning but in a very "we should help school shooting survivors more" or "why rolling back abortion rights hurts women" -- more about how we can help people and the world. Tough to listen to but interesting.
Movie - Captain Nova (2021) [/] A Dutch science fiction film. Nova (Anniek Pheifer) travels from the year 2050 to present day Netherlands but her body regresses to her teenage age at the time (played by Kika van de Vijver). With the help of her robot friend ADD (Sander van de Pavert) and local kid Nas (Marouane Meftah) she is chased by police while trying to reach the man responsible for a global climate catastrophe... An ok film.
Apple Arcade - Painty Mob (2019) [/] A little bit of twin-stick shooter except you don't shoot, you explode in paint. You go around exploding and splashing people with paint. They get mad and chase you, There are various items you pick up to help you and you advance by accomplishing goals (paint X number of people and survive Y seconds). It's a cute sort of game but not much depth.
