media round-up

• I did a swan dive (ha ha) into the collective Duckverse, mostly by accident. It started out with alternating between rewatching favourite Darkwing Duck episodes and watching bits of the old Mighty Ducks cartoon - the former for easy brainfood, the latter mostly for the sake of slapping my knee and cackling over the basic premise. I then realised the new DuckTales reboot had Darkwing Duck episodes, watched those and was extremely charmed, and from there spent a long weekend watching the better part of said DuckTales reboot. Wasn't as fond of the series as a whole, but it was still an enjoyable ride. And it had the CUTEST end credits.

• On recommendation from killyhawk I've finally made it through The Owl House. I found the tone a bit wobbly, but it was still sweet and fun, and it's always a pleasure to see how far media has come in presenting a realistic range of lifestyles and experiences.

• The new Elvis movie was one of my plane picks. I feel like it was maybe weighted a little too heavily in Presley's favour, though I don't know enough about the man to say for sure, and it was definitely a little too long. Flashy and full of slammin' jams though, and I appreciated they went to a distinct effort to acknowledge the Black community's influence on his music style.

• Dog Day Afternoon was another plane movie. Cripes. Great acting. So many terrible choices.

• Holiday media with friends: made it through the effective first book of The Expanse TV series with weirderwest (aka played it in the background while we discussed the series in general); a season and a bit of Gargoyles (Greg Weisman your Shakespeare obsession is showing); and co-played some of Control with syntheid (TOGETHER, WE WERE... COMPETENT!!)

• Absolutely cannot seem to stick with a video game lately otherwise, and it's driving me a little crazy. I need to get my butt back to Spiritfarer at minimum.

• Kate Ashwin, author of the Widdershins comic, has confirmed the next chapter will be the last. I am very sad! Webcomic time means there is probably at least one last good year or two to be had with the gang, and I'll be keen to see whatever Ashwin does next, but still. Hard to face the final goodbye.

• Some recent earworm recs: Still Though We Should Dance for the peppy string chorus, Hold the Girl for the 80s ballad vocals, and Woman in Red for being an unexpectedly catchy answer to 'what is this character's singing voice like?'

• I've been binging House lately. Mixed feelings, shall we say.
