There's probably two or three dozen movies that my top 10 could be drawn from, depending on when you ask. Choosing just one Christopher Nolan film was especially tricky; I took the high road and went with one of the ones I'm not in.

Two thirds of all religious leaders, and three fourths of evangelical protestant leaders, had something to say about evolution in 2019-2020.
So, what seminary wants to hire me to teach evolutionary biology? Because clearly there is a need.

Happy Birthday to John Williams!
For Super Bowl Weekend, a John Williams football fact: He composed the score for the 1968 TV movie Heidi. The premiere of that film preempted the final minutes of a Jets-Raiders game which featured a notable comeback by the Raiders.

Big day for X-Men. Maybe folks would like to check out my X-inspired evo sim, the Quandary Den? I've used it to demonstrate evolution as an information-learning algorithm (blog.emergingscholars.org/2021/02/scienc…) and constructive neutral evolution (blog.emergingscholars.org/2021/07/scienc���)
