Netflix Series - Godless (2017) [/] This is a 7-episode western story centered on the small town of La Belle which due to a mining accident that killed all the men is inhabited by single women, widows and their children. Outlaw Roy Goode (Jack O'Connell) arrives on the run from his former leader Frank Griffin (Jeff Daniels) and his gang. Roy befriends outcast rancher Alice Fletcher (Michelle Dockery) but his remaining there threatens attracting Griffin... There are several subplots to fill out the series and possibly this would have been a better story trimmed down to a two-hour movie. Pretty good climactic gun battle though.
Movie - Mobile Suit Gundam I (1981) [-] MSG is a 43-episode half hour anime series which was condensed into three movies and I watched the first half of the first movie. Solar system war, giant robots, kids having to become warriors because the adults all got killed. I forgot how bad animation was back then and our hero kid is more angsty than Robotech's Rick Hunter. Guess I've way aged out for this fare.
Apple Arcade - Frogger in Toy Town (2019) [-] Frogger with 3D semi-realistic graphics. Wander through a house avoiding a few lanes of traffic, interacting with toys, avoiding bad guys, using power-ups and rescuing froglets. It's kind of kids skill level and not interesting. Was hoping there would be a classic Frogger mode but alas.
