🤣 Rogers, the Musical and more - This Geek in Review for 2021-12-10

Ever since I saw the first trailer for the Disney+ show Hawkeye I was mesmerized by the few seconds of clips of the Avengers Musical, Rogers. The first episode delivered a great look at the musical, and now, you can listen to the entire song!
New Lego set that doesn’t come apart
LEGO has designed a set that can’t be taken apart and I’m not happy about it. Growing up, we would build the Lego model once, and then proceed to tear it apart and never build the original again. Having parts that don’t come back apart is antithesis of what Lego Bricks are. It’s too bad that Lego sets have become more like model building and less of a creative tool.
