Nurture & Support 175: Movie props and book reader goodies

Kelly recommends watching TV, Mel recommends reading.  Like we do.

 

Kelly’s Recommendation –  Disney Prop Culture

This is a Disney+ show hosted by movie prop collector Dan Lanigan.  You’ll see props and learn some history around movies like Tron, Mary Poppins, Honey I Shrunk the Kids and more.

 

 

 

Mel’s Recommendation –  Owl Crate

If you are interested in getting an exclusive, signed, hardcover, new Young Adult book each month, Owl Crate is the thing for you.  In addition to the book the crate includes several other goodies related to the book or theme.   Plus enameled pens 🙂

Squat Cobbler 127: Cobbler Mix – Frank Zappa (Kelly #5)

I chose to feature Frank Zappa in my list for Mike this round.  If you are not familiar with his work, this gives you just a small flavor of the great stuff he did.

Electric Aunt Jemima
Flakes
Joe’s Garage
Promiscuous
The Man From Utopia Meets Mary Lou
The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing

 

As promised, my theme music for my black Panzer tank with flames painted on the side that we discussed towards the end of the show

Want to hang out with Gerald Webb?

Want to hang out with Gerald Webb?

Well, you can at 9PM Eastern, 8PM Central, 6PM Pacific this Wednesday, May 13.

We will be watching Gerald’s directorial debut in “$TACK$”.  $TACK$ is a nail biting dramatic short film (7 min 26 seconds) dripping with social commentary on our post Covid-19 world.

Bog Panda is honored to host and have Gerald join Mike and I via “watch party” software available on Kosmi.com.  Kosmi requires no account, no download, and can be accessed via desktop, laptop, tablet or phone (both Android and iOS).

To join us, just click on this link: https://app.kosmi.io/room/bohc9

The room is persistent, so you can click on the link now to test out your connection and get a feel for Kosmi if you want.

Additional info

  1. I will be in the room 15 minutes early. Consider joining a few minutes early to shake out any technical issues
  2. Kosmi offers video, audio, and text chat. Video and audio are completely optional of course.  In fact, if we get a big crowd, having most people use text chat will make it easier to hear Gerald.
  3. To activate your camera or mic, you will need to click on the camera and/or microphone buttons above the chat window on the right
  4. If you are on an iPhone, you will need to use the Safari browser on your phone
  5. Mobile users will also see a purple bar with a speaker icon as the enter.  Just click it to join

Hope we get a big crowd!

Nurture & Support 174: Mel and Kelly talk about what to buy on Amazon (again)

In what is becoming a trend, Mel and I share what to buy on Amazon based on our recent purchases.  Amazon, feel free to start sending us free stuff to review.  Maybe start with Nintendo Switches.

 

Mel’s Recommendation –  Star Wars Bookends

Han. Leia. Classic poses. Heavy. Bookends. Currently out of stock.  What more do you need to know??  Here is the link to keep checking to order these.

 

 

 

 

 

Kelly’s RecommendationTechole HDMI splitter

Works like a champ. Does not require a power source. Supports 4K.  VERY affordable.

Nurture & Support 173: The miracle of loaves and Fitbits

After some shelter at home chat, Mel and I continue our long history of recommending Fitbit products (note to Fitbit, we remain VERY open to trying out new products) and provide a cool recipe as well.

 

 

Kelly’s Recommendation – Fitbit Versa 2

This is a good looking, long battery life, reliable smart-ish watch at a price point WELL below the Apple Watch and its ilk.  The only drawback is no GPS, but that has only been a minor issue for me.

 

 

 

 

Mel’s Recommendation –  Artisan Bread in Five

As Mel explained it, this site offers a recipe for fresh bread that is quick and easy and I might even be capable of executing.  We’ll see 🙂

This week Mel and I are joined by Dr. Mike and he and I offer a rare joint recommendation.

Mel’s RecommendationStardew Valley

Mel recommends a game that will give you all of the joy of Animal Crossing, but for $7.99 in an app store verses having to buy a Switch.

 

 

 

 

Mike & Kelly’s Recommendation – Tiger King on Netflix

You all have likely heard of it, but if you haven’t watched yet, you owe it to yourself to board this train to crazytown.
