I find it mad that in an age of steaming recaps are a thing. You can watch it any time you like! It’s always available! What purpose does a recap fulfil? Other than keeping someone in a job for clicks. Answered my own questions, haven’t I?

Absolutely terrific stuff, thought I’d said but clearly not! And that was a(nother) big cliffhanger. Fab.

Every month I read this, and every month I get to the cliffhanger and go “fuuuuuuck!” In the best possible way. Cracking stuff.

A stunning head of Medusa, the mythical creature whose sight turns everyone to stone. Medusa’s head was a popular motif used to ward off any evil.

Prismatiqk - White Diamond sleeve art. Not that there’s a physical sleeve, but whatever.

It’s alright! I enjoy ‘em at the cinema, and Mando was good fun. It just doesn’t ring my nerd bell as much as other stuff.

The Phantom Menace. Double cultural hole ‘cos I’m a massive nerd (who isn’t overly fussed about Star Wars).

Hannah Fearn @hannahfearn.bsky.social · 4d

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

This is mind-blowing. I think in a good way, but I reserve the right to change my mind.

I'd completely forgotten about Manfred Mann's Earth Band's cover of The Jam's "Going Underground". It's proof positive that anything can be made to sound like a possible Radio 2 playlist record circa 1985 (see also Paul Jones's cover of "Pretty Vacant").

#bandcampfriday ! Download some DIY but (I think) still rather glossy dance-tinged pop! By, uh, me. Amongst others. Bandcamp genuinely does help us pay for mastering, which is kind of amazing. prismatiqk.bandcamp.com

One of my favourite books, interpreted by an excellent artist? Yes please.

I like what I’ve heard, with the caveat that I’ve not paid any attention to the lyrics. Did see him supporting Pulp as it goes, which was fun day out.

I didn’t understand a word of this until I imagined Peter Davison’s Doctor breathlessly rattling it out at high speed while simultaneously trying to defuse a bomb, and then it made total sense.

Some mates and I did a similar thing to this 15 years ago, though our rules didn’t allow ANY recording, not even video. My favourite moment was one of the guitarists after a performance looking really upset. “I just feel like we just ruined someone’s night out” he said.

There’s an Iron Man spin-off now as well, which caused much delight within the youngest. Also auto-corrected to Iron Mam, so looks like I finally I have my killer Marvel pitch ready to go.
