A good day for Disney Music with the Grammy Nominations. Star Wars Outlaws, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, and music for Test Track all received nods.

The last few Make Mine Music blog posts have been about Disney Parks and Disney movies. But as promised, the music articles aren't going away. In fact, our next post will touch on music AND video games. Not to give it all away, but...

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

Nowhere close to complete and it needs a fair amount of refining, but I'm pretty happy with the way this little mousling warrior is coming along.

A little behind (about an hour into episode three), but my goodness, I'm loving Campaign 4 of Critical Role. We're just barely setting the scene, but the characters and setting are incredible, and the machinations are so intriguing. Really excited to see where this goes.

Sitting down to watch the first episode of "Twisted Wonderland." We've been waiting for the anime to debut for ages!

We've been diving into horror films as we approach Halloween. On Monday we watched "Totally Killer" which is essentially "Back to the Future" given a horror make over. Loved it. It brings the 80s nostalgia, while calling out some of the problematic aspects of the decade. Plus, it's just pure fun.

Of course, there were games like Sonic, but I can't even begin to count the hours I spent playing Kid Chameleon back in the day. Did all those hours translate into beating the game? Absolutely not. But I still loved it.

Listening to Tim Curry's book "Vagabond" and it's sort of amusing to know that Ridley Scott was originally looking at Richard O'Brien to play Darkness in the movie legend, but then pivoted to Tim Curry.

Currently listening to the audiobook of Tim Curry's memoir "Vagabond." I think it's the best way to experience it, hearing him tell the stories in his own brilliant voice.
