I saw the movie 100 meters which is from the same creator as Orb on the Movements of the Earth (Uoto). If you have that competitive spirit or were a former athlete, this movie is a must watch.

After 5 years Kaiju No 8 manga has come to an end. With 129 chapters across 16 volumes it has been a up and down journey. I wanted to talk through my thoughts on the series as a whole from start to the final chapter. Obviously SPOILERS so enjoy.______________________________Follow meMy website: https://dadneedstotalk.com/Blue Sky: dadneedstotalk2.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/DadNeedsToTalkInstagram: https://www.instagram...
It has been a very strange last 7 days. Recent losses, close calls in other situations have taken its toll on me mentally. I start the show talking through some things. Then I use some recent movies I saw to help shape a conversation about us as a person at our core. I hope you can take something from this episode.
