I made a zine the other day so that I could have a physical copy of Nemik's Manifesto from the Star Wars TV show: Andor.
You can read it, print a copy, and share with others if you'd like.

[Watched Hotel Transylvania, 2012 - ★★★½]
Wasnt expecting much but was actually pleasantly surprised. There were a bunch of real funny and memorable moments.
Not sure if we'll watch the sequels but we might rewatch this really soon.

The Fingernails plot doesn't really work here. It also doesn't really work without it otherwise we're just watching two people cheat.
