Artemis II has launched. Going to be hopeful, and tense, for a while.

The Faculty
The Faculty was a particularly fun Screamalike as it applied a degree of Kevin Williamson script polish to an SF horror story, while still in high school, instead of a slasher.
The Pod Universe got a remake pitch from Taylor Ortega (spoilers for it, and Scream 4, and also White Nights) which got me to watch it again. And I now wonder if the final monster influenced the worst boss in Bloodlines.
Scream 8
Scream 7 did really well, unfortunately, so here we are. Scream 8 script order for Nora and Lilla Zuckerman, so yes, handing the keys to the big comedy slasher franchise to the writers of the Buffy: New Sunnydale pilot, which kinda seems validating after attempts to blame the script.
Ballad Hunters
Ballad Hunters, a GUMSHOE game of haunted folk songs and breaking the curse through ballad magic in 1813, Kickstarting now.

Project Hail Mary
I loved The Martian and liked this.
Trying not to think about the science from a biology POV though.

Ah yes, British Summer Time, I can tell by the hailstones.
