An article publishing later tonight. For now, I’m watching Disney+ shows whilst having tests done.
Time for some quick takes:

‘The World According to Jeff Goldblum’. I just love this guys brain. Art style is fantastic, as is the pacing and humour. Didn’t learn to much I didn’t know about “Sneakers” but an overall typically well polished show.

Also let me just say I really appreciated Jeff’s monologue on consumerism and our constant fascination with what’s next. Fantastic stuff.

‘Forky Asks a Question’ is a cute short. Bite sized content will eventually take over from advert breaks, in the streaming sphere in between long intense episodes. A perfect example of why Apple would be clever to allow users to create playlists for TV app compatible content.

Encore! does a great job interspersing real issues with performance. I’m not sure I’ll be back though. Maybe it’s because I’m British or that I don’t have fond school memories...

‘Pixar in Real Life’ is a fun 5 min hidden camera short. The first episode is based on ‘Inside Out’ in what’s an insightful social experiment. More of this!

‘High School Musical, The Musical, The Series’. I shouldn’t like this show. I do. A lot. #HSMTMTS Captures High School drama incredibly well and I’m a sucker for a good voice and a ukulele. Ready for episode 2!

‘Marvel’s Hero Project’ is pretty magical. I know some will be disappointed that there’s no original Marvel series at launch but this show does so much good with the Marvel branding. What an incredibly strong young lady...

Saving #Mandalorian for tonight. Surprisingly, Disney are bucking the trend of 1 hour plus premiere episodes. Will be interesting to find out whether 39 minutes will be enough...

@AppleTV

Filtered Up Next queue’s for individual services are rolling out to the TV app experience: Whilst I’m not seeing them just yet, this addition is further proof that the TV teams at Apple aren’t resting on any laurels. @AppleTV and tvOS have some exciting times ahead in 2022

https://twitter.com/davidseaotter/status/1502724640849862657

To reiterate the original tweet, these filtered Up Next queues are currently exclusive to the Apple TV+ tab and Apple Channels pages. I’m interested to see how Apple end up offering a consistent experience across non Apple Channel content…

@devondundee

Having one consistent UI has been the dream since before tvOS and I wonder if thats the direction the company are going (even if its a user preference option). @devondundee had an idea of a OS level Up Next on #mrol e35 that could overlay third party experiences. I hope so 🤞

Apple’s TV app has issues cataloging some box sets with search, Siri playback and purchases not recognised. Last week I bought ‘The Big Bang Theory: The Complete Series’ on iTunes with the express goal of fixing the box-set. Here’s how to get a fix within the TV app...

Here’s how the box set was being reviewed on iTunes... eeek

Before I get to the fix, here are examples of what was wrong with this particular box set:

• You would be prompted to pay again for an episode you already owned. The only way to play your purchase was through Library.

@StJude

The work @StJude do is awe inspiring.

Whilst not affected by cancer, I spent most of my childhood in hospital having tests and extended treatments. I was fully aware, even at that young age what effect it was having on my parents.

@StJude

I couldn’t imagine what the added pressure of astronomical bills would have done to two incredible parents.

@StJude - much like the NHS - don’t charge for treatment. With your generosity we can make sure that continues. Along with their continued groundbreaking research

My PlayStation 25th anniversary story begins awkwardly. I nor my family could afford a PS1 so we hired one (with a full deposit) from Blockbuster video. I had one joyous weekend with Ridge Racer and Battle Arena Toshinden...

Eventually I saved up my pocket money and picked up a PSOne immediately realising I found horror games impossible to play (even though I’m ok with horror films). Resident Evil was beyond intense (On PSVR, 3 generations later. Not a chance!).

At the launch of PlayStation 2 my mum and I went halves. I was a Tekken Tag addict and was blown away by DVD menus and extras. My first being Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... Media Studies called it synergy.

@TheMorningShow

.
Just about to start @TheMorningShow again. Saturday night in whilst visiting mum for the first time since lockdown. Mum had “never heard of it” which isn’t a surprise as whilst Apple TV only for 5 months she’s rarely inside the TV app. Impressions to come...

.
E01 “Blimey, this is a bit heavy”.
Yes mum! Something I hadn’t noticed the first time round was how well written the interaction between Alex and Mitch was. The first 20 mins of E01 is likely what got critics to mistakingly write off the show...

.
E02 “She’s played a blinder there”. Mum isn’t a fan of Cory (my favourite character). Alex’s awards ceremony speech was the WTF moment that got me hooked - same goes for many others I’ve talked to. Such a good show. More to recap tomorrow...
