Sam Morril: Same Time Tomorrow
Never heard of this guy before I saw a bit from this show retweeted. Immediately watched the whole thing. Laughed a lot. Well done, algorithm.

Music
Will of the People
by Muse
Fuck me, I loved this. Muse's best album for years, and perhaps their most consistent ever — I can't remember the last time, if ever, I actually really liked every single track on a Muse album. I've already listened to it multiple times, which is more than I can say for some of the middling tracks on their last few albums (remembering that time I realised I'd only listened to The 2nd Law in full once in the six years since its release).

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Three new titles this week, including an extensive box set... but two are DVD-to-BD upgrades where the BD closely mirrors the DVD (the aforementioned box set is Masters of Cinema's collection of Buster Keaton shorts, both versions of which contain 32 short films across 4 discs), and the third is a BD-to-4K upgrade, so you won't see much change in the stats below.

Jackbox Showdown... Crow vs Servo
13x03 Beyond Atlantis Post-Premiere Q&A
Wasn't sure I was awake enough for a film late last night, but instead wound up watching all two hours of the replay of the Jackbox Showdown livestream special. Oh well. It's quite fun, but would've been more fun to join in live (I wasn't able to when it happened, unfortunately).
And talking of watching replays, this evening I finished off those premiere Q&As... except for the ones on episodes I haven't watched. It's nice there are more to look forward to.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
Five new titles this week, including a DVD-to-BD upgrade that barely leaves a mark in the below (just -1 DVD and +1 BD), and what would have been a DVD-to-4K upgrade, but for some reason they couldn't get the rights to a cast & crew commentary, so I'm keeping the DVD with it on (at least for the time being).
Also this week, the number of shorts in my collection passes the 1,000 mark. I dread to think how few of them I've actually watched. The majority are spread around film releases as special features — the odd one or two here or there; early works by the director of the feature title, or archive shorts with a connection to the feature (the BFI are particularly fond of doing that, but there's also a lot on Indicator's noir box sets, plus Warner's releases of classic movies) — which makes it hard for me to ever really dig into them.
Number of titles in collection: 2,907 [up 4]
Of which DVDs: 1,047 [down 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 1,860 [up 5]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 197 [up 1]
Number of discs in collection: 7,216 [up 7]
Number of films: 3,483 [up 4]
Number of additional cuts: 275 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 9,350 [no change]
Number of short films: 1,002 [up 3]
Also also, it's time for the monthly running time update. The ever-flowing drip-drip-drip of new titles into my collection has this month produced the following increase...
Total running time of collection (approx.):
515 days, 16 hours, and 49 minutes.
(Up 2 days, 4 hours, and 39 minutes from last month.)
