What we’re Enjoying
Before Shua Enjoyed his first hurricane in Cancun Mexico, he got the opportunity to swim with dolphins. It was a very cool experience that helped him get in touch with nature. Jay tuned in to the new Beverly Hills Cop movie on Netflix. It did a great job of using some of the things that worked with the originals while modernizing it for today’s audiences.
Sci-Fi Saturdays
This week on Sci-Fi Saturdays Jay examined an experimental movie called Aeon Flux. This 2005 Charlize Theron film was based on an animated show, but production problems affected the final outcome after the director was held back from doing what was needed to polish it properly. Still fun to check out. Make sure to play around with the interactive map on MCULocationScout.com. There are some new locations from Deadpool 1 and 2 in preparation for the new movie. Plus, you can tune in to SHIELD: Case Files where Jay and Shua talk about great stuff in the MCU.
Enjoy Science!
It’s Shua’s birthday! So we decided to celebrate with one of his passions, SCIENCE! As we were growing up we were so engaged when we encountered science. Whether it was an educational show with Carl Sagan, Beakman, or Bill Nye, or hands-on activities in class we loved to experiment and learn how the world worked.
Then Jay lays down some science trivia to see if Shua can stand by the knowledge he claims to have. And he opens his gifts to start his week of right.
