OK, I'll admit it … that was better than I was expecting.

Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams starring Rom-Com, as the members of the Icelandic band 'Fire Saga', who get chosen (for plot reasons) to represent their country in 2020s Eurovision Song Contest, which is being held in Scotland for some reason(?!).

Yes, the actual 2020 Eurovision competition itself was cancelled due to Covid-19.

As for the film: after a slow(ish) setting the scene start, it picks up once Lars and Sigrit make it to the song contest, and with the introduction of Dan Stevens completely-over-the-top Russian entrant - the firm favourite to be the winner of said competition - alongside a whole host of actual Eurovision nods and winks.

And Graham Norton.

Yes, that Graham Norton.

(although he may be more familiar to UK watchers than to others)

Its been a while since I've reviewed anything - combination of split Working from Home / Working in the Office, homeschooling kids, and general malaise has made playing games too much like hard work at the moment - which is rubbish.

However, I got a few new games over Christmas (Monster Mansion, a version of Mysterium, and a couple of others) which are review-worthy, and I've ordered Star Saga which *SHOULD* arrive on Saturday. Hopefully, at some point over the weekend, I can get a couple of reviews done.

Longer term, I also have a few Kickstarters which are expected in the next 2-6 months, from Pugs in Mugs (mostly for my daughter!) to Lawyer Up, to Merchants Cove, and a few others too! Should be interesting, and hopefully I can introduce a few brand new games to everyone.
