Do any of you ever go down the "WatchMojo" rabbit hole, where a narrator gives a top ten list of an event, thing, or type, etc? This one is for Ms3, our resident word person

During one of them I was watching today, first the narrator pronounced the word indicted phonetically, as "in-****-ted" (indickted...as it is starred out when I show the accented syllable). Then she pronounced subsequently as "sub-SEEE-quent-ly". Maybe she should stick to smaller words...

I don’t do it a lot, but I‘ve definitely gone down the watchmojo rabbit hole before. It comes in waves.

do you arch anything from pbs digital studios? I feel like you’d like some of their series

I'm assuming an autocorrect from arch to watch, so noooo.
But I'll check them out. :)

Wait, should I know what "watchmojo" is? Or better that I not even go there....

yeah, or just mistyping haha.

And they have a lot of really good channels. Mt favorites are pbs eons (they discuss prehistory), monstrum (where they discuss different monsters from around the world) and pbs terra which had a short series on scientists in antartica which is amazing

I haven't been able to avoid some of the movie commentary video titles about the new Mulan movie. I accidentally watched one and based on the other descriptions I've seen; the hate stems from the fact that Disney choose to make the live action closer to the Ballad instead of the cartoon.
I'm looking forward to seeing it eventually. I am hoping it is as interesting as the trailer makes it.

They are top ten lists on YouTube, mostly about pop culture. They can be pretty entertaining...but you get sucked into that "next up" thing that YouTube does...
The thing with watchmojo is just give me the list without talking about it for seemingly forever

Not exactly sure.
I’m realizing that instead of being a profit center for the boss of my part time job, I’m more of the headache reliever. I get all these crappy projects that take 2-3x as long as they should because nothing works well. Being paid per project really blows.

There is also some political kerfuffle over the movie including where some of it was shot and some of the political stances of the star. I won't put it here since this is a politics free zone, but feel free to fire up the googly machine.
