A perfectly fine story and I was happy to get to hang out in Middle Earth on fresh terms.</p> <p>🎧 <a href="https://www.radiotopia.fm/podcasts/weight-for-it"><strong>Weight For It</strong></a> —Amazing podcast about being fat from <a href="https://www.ohitsbigron.com/big-ron">Ronald Young Jr</a>. It is somehow both deeply personal and, I suspect, private feelings experienced by most fat people. Certainly a lot of <em>yep, that’s how it is</em> from me. It was a recommendation from a <a href="https://www.searchengine.show/">Search Engine Podcast</a> show.</p> <p>🎥 <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4772188/"><strong>Flow</strong></a> — This is that <em>dialog-less </em>animated movie about the animals learning how to buddy up and get through stuff. Absolutely beautiful. I found it weird choice to make it a little sci-fi-ish rather than just near-future Earth. Maybe they just didn’t feel like weighing in on climate change and all that, but eh, they kinda were anyway.</p> <p>🎥 <a href="https://play.max.com/movie/a06a30f0-9552-46e5-8827-510fb41eb1fb"><strong>Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary</strong></a> — An enjoyable hour and a half such that I actually know what Yacht Rock is rather than faking like I know what it is. (It’s Steely Dan, basically.)</p> <p>🎥 <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11563598/"><strong>A Complete Unknown</strong></a> — I listened to the soundtrack first and was like <em>meh</em> Timmy don’t click for me as a fake Bob. But the movie rules. I was very into it even the mega awkward nerd dad energy of Edward Norton / Pete Seeger.</p> <p>📺 <strong>Silo</strong> / <strong>Severance</strong> — That day where Apple aired the end of Silo Season 2 and the beginning of Severance Season 2… good job. Very into both of these.</p> <p>📔 — Reading has been all self-helpy and not interesting enough to share.</p> <div id='jp-relatedposts' class='jp-relatedposts' > <h3 class="jp-relatedposts-headline"><em>Related</em></h3> </div> <div class="asks"> Thoughts? <a href="mailto:chriscoyier@gmail.com?subject=I%20was%20just%20reading%20Media Diet">Email me</a> or comment below.

I would have liked to have seen all 3 but only worked out to see one in theaters. It was great to visit Middle Earth on the big screen. So I jumped at chance to see The War of the Rohirrim in the theater also. I loved being able to visit Middle Earth again through a different style. I felt the film was in vibe with the culture of Rohan.</p> <div class="reply"><a rel="nofollow" class="comment-reply-link"
