Welcome to the third and final trailer post of this week.
You can find part one here and part two here.
On top of the previously mentioned classic anime, I’ve also got 90s TV show Sliders running in the background of my writing. It’s not as good as I remember but the 90s vibe/look is nice.
In other news, I got a new role in my workplace and part of it involves getting training and I am now trained on erecting scaffolding. I don’t know when I’ll get to use that skill but I have it and want to practice.
What are the rest of this weekend’s films?
