I couldn’t resist inserting an Alpha House reference (Senator Andy Guzman). If you like political comedies and don’t mind a fair bit of swearing, check it out. It is one of my favorite shows of all time. (Alas, it’s exclusive to Amazon Prime.) The other reference that may be a bit obscure is Andy Weir. Most people have at least heard of The Martian film starring Matt Damon; Andy Weir wrote the book it is based on. As my wife puts it, his writing is basically a bunch of word problems. She’s not wrong, but he makes it a very enjoyable read. I just finished his most recent book, Project: Hail Mary, and it is very good.
Also, Disney lawyers are jerks. I’m waiting for the Great Disney Lawsuit Against Everything Egyptian, as copyright law is not really respected over there, to put it mildly (the owner of my school could not see anything wrong with only ordering one copy of each textbook, and then having professionally bound copies made of said textbooks). and many businesses, especially private schools, use Disney logos, characters, etc., to excess. Don’t get me wrong, protecting content creators is a good thing, but Disney has been known to take things a little too far…
