Cool Things:

• Brian shared:
  • And Then There Were None, a wonderfully delightful mystery from Agatha Christie. If you read this, follow it immediately with the 2015 miniseries by the same name.
  • WandVision is kicking off Phase 4 of the MCU. The first few episodes are...weird, but good. Give ‘em a watch if you like Marvel.
• Marshall shared:
  • If you were into Marshall’s past recommendation, Robert Parker, you might also enjoy Kavinsky
  • Night Candy by Mattie Maguire – 80’s elevator music?
