Things to do when you're stuck at home...
Apr. 7th, 2020 08:47 pmAttenion Whovians: Big Finish will provide one of their Doctor Who audios per week for free. This week, it's the first War Doctor story, "The Innocent", starring John Hurt and Jacqueline Pearce. I downloaded already.
(One of various great things about Doctor Who: dissatisfaction with a current canon does not mean you can't get new installments from other canon eras, courtesy of the audios.)
The Way to the Stars is an essay by Una McCormack describing her road from the Blake's 7 mailing list to writing novels for various incarnations of Star Trek (most recently Disco and Picard) as well as Doctor Who.
Also, while looking up something else I saw that US Amazon Prime Video has Kästner and Little Tuesday, which is a movie I raved about when I saw it at the Munich Film Festival four years ago here, telling you all why you need to see it. (Short pitch: brilliant author of satires, poetry and children's books & kid, neither fictional, try to survive and keep their integrity throughout the Third Reich.)
Meanwhile, Netflix (at least German Netflix, and I hope in other regions, too) has The People vs Fritz Bauer, another awesome film, which is praised and reviewed by yours truly here. (Short pitch: Gay Jewish Social Democrat Attorney vs Nazis - after WWII. And not the Quentin Tarantino way, because Fritz Bauer was a real and truly heroic person.)
