TV:

I'm still enjoying The Expanse season 5.  Who knows?  Maybe tonight's episode will be terrible and I'll have to change my mind, but so far the season has been great.   So, watch it if you are caught up with Season 4.  The Expanse is on Amazon Prime streaming.   

Movies:

Last year I rewatched Collateral, the 2004 Michael Mann movie which stars Tom Cruise as a hitman and Jamie Foxx as the cab driver forced to drive him around (not spoiling this: it's in the trailer and the movie is 16 years old).  I was recently reading about movie when I came across review of Collateral in Esquire, which I think reiterates why you should watch this movie.  

Watch Collateral, and if you enjoy it then watch/rewatch Micheal Mann's finest movie: Heat.    

Podcasts:

I listened to many episodes of the Night Owl Podcast in December.  It's a podcast about ghost stories/the paranormal in Austin.  Whether you are into the paranormal part or not, the local history stories should be quite interesting to anyone with curiosity about Austin's past.  

My favorite stories in the series have been about The Tavern (where I used to host my trivia nights) and The Clay Pit.   Once you are going out again, both of these places are worth a visit (The Tavern is a fun bar, and the food at Clay Pit is great).  Moreover, both of these restaurants are in cool old buildings which are worth checking out.
