Something earthy, something Who; something reboot, something new [00:00]
- Gardening means you put seeds in dirt!
- Nardole, Bill and the Doctor jump start S10
- A taste of MST3K
- The Last Jedi trailer (and some great fan breakdowns)
Bach’s Goldberg Variations [18:20]
- Open Goldberg Variations (free download)
- Bach is “annoyingly unimpeachable”
- Glenn Gould, all into “The Black Pearl”
- Cool viz: Bach showing off with canons (some more)
- The best orchestra gig, hands down
Ender’s Game [44:32]
- In the end… not of universal acclaim
- Well, Tom did like the Fantasy Game (a bit?)
- Existential Crisis Ped is returning to the Earth
