Slow Horses s5 (2025) [/] Another season another pretty much self-contained scenario of this dark comedy domestic spy series (and the first episode starts out with a mass shooting event so it's pretty dark). I kind of like how the bad guys keep changing the game until finally Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) outsmarts them. The final shootout River Cartwright (Jack Lowden), Shirley Dander (Aimee-Ffion Edwards), and J.K. Cole (Tom Brooke) is pretty neat and shows off their characters fairly well.

Samba de Amigo: Party-To-Go (2023) [/] Apple Arcade rhythm-based music game. Kind of requires having your iPad on a stable surface so you can use both hands freely. As usual lots of combinations of moves and there are 40 songs and a story mode to give your gameplay more meaning. Seems ok but I'm very bad at these games so it's a pass.

My Talking Angela 2+ (2023) [/] Apple Arcade version which removes the in app purchases. Angela 2 is a female cat and all you seem to do is dress her and style her hair and face. There are some activities you can have her do (dancing, baking, martial arts according to the description) but I didn't get that far. It's a kid's game and I guess a companion to My Talking Tom which is more boy's focused.

The Greatest Adventure TPB (2018) [/] A 9-issue comic book story features the characters and worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs. A group of adventurers led by Tarzan chase after the bad guys to Pellucidar (hollow Earth), Mars, and Venus to stop him from assembling the ultimate weapon... Lots of characters and most may have a line or two. It's a suitably pulp-y story and quite bloody.
