Season 2 has some cool inclusions such as Indiana Jones, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Disney Parks food. It’s not a boring documentary, and you’re sure to laugh as you learn a little more about the parks. Shua got around to the 2023 Netflix anime “Blue Eye Samurai”. It’s an action packed, graphic, adult story with plenty of Ninja-type action.    Sci-Fi Saturdays This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay grudgingly analyzed the 2003 sequel that tried to keep a franchise alive but may have nudged it in the wrong direction. Terminator 3 didn’t quite have the some charm or quality of the first 2, but there are ways to Enjoy it, including skipping the movie and just reading Jay’s article instead. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com, now featuring Daredevil Season 1. Plus, you can tune in to  SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.     Enjoy Life!  Spring is taking its sweet time getting here. And sometimes during a long winter we start to feel a little sad. Maybe a lot sad. Professionals call this seasonal depression, or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD…No, seriously). There are things you can do to help yourself feel a little better that doctors recommend. We have taken those recommendations and made them appropriate to our lifestyle, sometimes with a retro twist.    If you are feeling overwhelmed with sadness, depression, or anxiety, or feel like you want to harm yourself or others, you can call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 800‑273‑8255   What do you do when you’re feeling those winter blues?
