Anna (2019) [/] I rewatched this spy action film starring Sasha Luss as Anna, European model by day and KGB operative by night. Some neat action scenes. A bit too much doing flashbacks to fill in the back story or reveal plot twists.
Four Falls of Buffalo (2015) [-] Hour and a half long documentary about the Buffalo Bills and their four consecutive Super Bowl appearances (and losses). Lots of archival footage and going over the season and the game mixed with current-day interview clips with the former players/coaches (with at most two people being interviewed in a session)… Very pedestrian but I guess typical of the time. I’d rather have 20 minutes on each season and playoff run with no current-day interviews (sort of a “this is what happened then” nostalgia trip), or 5 to 10 minutes quick recap of the season and Super Bowl game then 10 to 15 minutes of a group interview with former players/coaches reminiscing (which is more of a “what does it all mean 25 years later”).
Pasta Prima Spinach & Mozzarella Ravioli Club Size [/] Fairly good ravioli. Has herb and cheese packs to add flavor though you can also add your own sauce. The pasta is strong so you can overcook without it falling apart.
Game Design Deep Dive (2022) [/] This is an interview podcast with tabletop wargame designers. I like this niche since I'm not as into computer wargames nor tabletop board games in general. It feels a bit more professional than other podcasts in this area.
