Adam Savage is a wonderful story teller and his wealth of experience in the design, prop, cosplay industry provides him with a mountain of education that would otherwise be lost to history. He presents some great examples of ways to make your life a little easier in anyway in which you create.

I watched this movie in theaters when it first came out and the invasion of the White House was hard to watch then. After my years in service, it is still hard to watch and even more so since I know those stairs and hallways.
Books
I have never had a book so plainly and overtly tell you the end of the book so early in the book. Brandon Sanderson tells a great political story with characters that are full of life, but lack a non-cliched constant direction.
TV
Weird show was lots of twist and turns that start with a mystery and end with the mystery of why you watched the entire season.
TV
It is a UK show, so a FULL 1 hour episode, not the typical 45-minute ones that you see in the US, so be ready for some longer, slower, and more story driven parts. If you want to compare this to Dr. Who or Sherlock, don't. This is not the same caliber as those, but it is worth watching.
Books
The science of what you will see in space if you were traveling via a spaceship. A spaceship that would need science and engineering that doesn't exist. From Black Holes and other astrophysics phenomena that are striking to look at, but would kill you without thought.
Movies
Can Michael B. Jordan play any other character?! Between this, Black Panther, and Creed, the character is just a different back story for the same dude. Its good, but damn he is a one-trick pony. The movie is a standard Tom Clancy film. Action, subplot, suspicion, and trade craft.
Books
This book is interesting, but the amount of narration from the main character is almost confusing and makes it interesting, but damn is he whiny and arrogant. There is a really interesting blend of lost technology and mysticism.
Movies
This might be my favorite Jessica Chastain movie. She does a fantastic job embodying intelligence analyst that I know and have worked with. Absolute dedication, focus, and mostly obsessive tendencies to see it to the end.
Books
This book is a compilation of stories from the author as he walks through the old road in the English countryside. Some of the stories are interesting, while others fall flat on deaf ears. The book description has lot of metaphor that I didn't pick up
TV
This is one of my favorite shows that I can watch on repeat as the episodes are individual which for a 30-minute show, that is exactly what you want. You want something that you can jump into and out of.
Books
Joseph Menn spent so much time talking all about the different prominent members of CdC in both their technical and humanitarian efforts that you really can feel the impact they have left in the world. The end of the book is completely devoted to a hero-worship political puff piece.
