📺 No more scripted TV, OJ in your cereal and more - This Geek in Review for 2022-05-06
The scripted show is going extinct Warner Bros. and the Discovery channel are cutting scripted shows. This affects shows at TNT and TBS. I don’t know what was a factor in this decision, but I can’t help to think that Netflix’s losses didn’t help.
Is the scripted show dead? Of course not. Even during the worst times of TV there still have been shows. What is missing from the current crop of shows is re-watchability.

👩💻 More Meta shenanigans, alternative uses for the Apple Watch, and more - This Geek in Review for 2022-04-08
Does what Meta do surprise anyone anymore? This past year there have been several news reports about TikTok challenges such as the “devious licks” challenge in schools, where students would vandalize classrooms. Unfortunately for common decency, these challenges were made up by a firm paid for by Meta (formerly Facebook) to tarnish the image of TikTok. The stories would originate on Facebook, and were then picked up by the local news.

The Empire really strikes back and more - This Geek in Review for 17 Jul 2020
The 80s are back! We are living in strange times, especially when The Empire Strikes Back and Ghostbusters top the box office charts almost over 35 years after their initial release. I wish it didn’t take a pandemic for some of these great movies to get some theater screen time.
In other 80s movie news comes the story behind The Pointer Sisters Neutron Dance in Beverly Hills Cop. The song was originally released in 1983, but didn’t become popular until it was attached to Beverly Hills Cop.
