I've always been interested in art, and took several classes during undergrad. I still kick myself for not going to grad school for art history truthfully.
Dascal is a Curator herself, and didn't always love art. Now, she presents interesting stories about works of art and artists that are appealing, even to the non-art lover. My favorite eps are about Van Gogh, and whether Sickert could possibly be Jack the Ripper.
I purchased her new book yesterday, and I can't wait to start reading.

Classic 1980s family movie, that is almost like a toned down version of Rocky, and that sees Mr Miyaga train Daniel(san) after he moves to LA and becomes the victim of High school bullying by the local 'in' crowd who also train at the local Doyo whilst a young Elisabeth Shue provides the love interest.
And, I've only just recently found out, the superlative scene where a drunk Mr Miyaga recounts the death of his wife and unborn son in an internment camp was nearly left on the cutting room floor!!

"This is what in call a target rich environment"
"Son, your ego is writing cheques your body can't cash"
1980s action classic (that I was all of 7 when it was released) starring a then up and coming (and young!) Tom Cruise as Maverick, the hotshot pilot who gets a shot at Top Gun: the military training school for the top 1% of naval pilots.
This has a great cast (Michael Ironside, Val Kilmer, Kelly McGillis, Tom Cruise himself) alongside some great aerial battles, but does drag in bits.

Also, hot take, Lin-Manuel Miranda cannot sing. Sorry.
The only, and I MEAN ONLY reason that this is a 3/10 is the amazing performances from Daveed Diggs, Phillipa Soo and Renee Elise Goldsberry.
