Doctor Who: Unleashed
3x09 20 Years of New Who in Wales [special]
A nice hour-long tribute to 20 years of nuWho.
(I'm numbering this as being in "Season 3" because I numbered the 60th anniversary specials episodes as Season 1 of Unleashed, which would mean Season 2 covered Season 1, and Season 3 covered Season 2, and this comes at the end of that season. Right?)

2000 AD

Prog 2394
I fell out of the habit of reading 2000 AD regularly and now I haven't read an issue since September. Oops. That's a lot of catching-up to do (44 Progs, to be precise, including the bumper Christmas one; plus an issue of Judge Dredd Megazine thanks to a crossover). Well, I've done big catchups before, so I'm sure I'll achieve it again, eventually.

Collection Count
Collection Count tracks my DVD/Blu-ray collection via a number of statistics every week.
There are increases for every stat this week — yes, even DVDs(!) — as a handful of brand-new releases are accompanied by sale pickups. That DVD, incidentally, is one I've had my eye on purchasing (with no urgency, obviously) for 12 years. That's insane! Where does time go?!
Number of titles in collection: 3,554 [up 8]
Of which DVDs: 986 [up 1]
Of which Blu-rays: 2,568 [up 7]
— of which Ultra HD Blu-rays: 473 [up 2]
Number of discs in collection: 8,559 [up 15]
Number of films: 4,510 [up 12]
Number of additional cuts: 444 [up 1]
Number of TV episodes: 10,152 [up 6]
Number of short films: 1,238 [up 1]
See you next week, faithful reader.

Critical Role
2x106 A Fog Lifted [1st half]
With this episode, I’m three-quarters through Campaign 2 — the kind of milestone that has me thinking where I'll go next (not because I'm especially near the end — there's still 169 hours to go — but because, well, that end will come eventually).
CR recently started their Daggerheart-based Age of Umbra miniseries, which runs until the end of July; and by then they’ll have a backlog of live shows to share, which could well fill their August streaming calendar; so Campaign 4 almost certainly won’t start until September at the earliest; some believe it won't begin until 2026 now. Will I have finished Campaign 2 by then? September: probably not; especially as I plan to watch Age of Umbra (I would've started it already, but my free time was unexpectedly upended the past few weeks). The end of 2025: I really should have.
Either way, I’m increasingly certain my plan is to go straight from C2 to C4 (either when I finish C2 or overlapping with the end of it), and then possibly go back to C1 and/or C3 if (when?) once-a-week new episodes are not enough for my CR fix.

this week on 100Films.co.uk
Most months nowadays I only post a single update about what's been happening at 100Films.co.uk, but this month the dates and days fall in such a way that there'll be (at least) two. Wow!
This week, it's time for the regular monthly review...
...but it's not until next week that I'll be posting its companion list of "failures".
So, for once I can actually promise: more next Sunday.

I've not seen all of the films on this list, but the ones I have, I agree about; which encourages me to see the rest.
