My Favorite Things on the Internet This Week
![]() | ![]() |

Hello internet stranger,
Welcome to The Weekly Click, a weekly (shocking, I know) updated list of interesting bits on the internet that I thought I’d share.
Happy clicking!
![]() Online happenings that made my week. | The Phantom Menace: Reviewed as if It Were the First Star Wars Film ReleasedLove this. Simon Dillon's review perfectly captures why you should never start your Star Wars viewing experience with The Phantom Menace. Perfect tone. ‘Who Killed the Video Star? The Story of MTV’ PodcastI don’t usually listen to miniseries podcasts, but this one caught my eye and then I just binged it. I’m a big fan of Dave Holmes, and this story about the rise and fall of MTV is fantastic. By the time this goes out, the last episode will be dropping. You can listen on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. The Midnight SpecialI went down a rabbit hole of videos from The Midnight Special, the original late-night concert show. If you love 70s rock and roll, catch performances by Fleetwood Mac, Journey, KISS, Cheap Trick, The Cars, REO Speedwagon, and Humble Pie. There’s so much more. Cobra Kai: The Final SeasonOne of my favorite nostalgia trips has been the last few seasons of Cobra Kai. It’s a great extension of that universe and has been a lot of fun. Season six will release its episodes in what Netflix is calling “a three-part event.” The first trailer provides a few teases. Looking forward to this. The Jada Peebles StoryJoey Wagner has a great piece about University of Illinois Women’s Basketball player, Jada Peebles. The five-year student-athlete has a story to tell and Wagner hits it out of the park. |

Thanks for hanging out. I know life can get pretty busy, so I’m glad we could get together. This weekend, I’m going to take five minutes and switch off everything. Find a quiet spot, put my phone on silent, and simply exist in that moment. When was the last time you just...stopped? I’m willing to bet it’s been too long. Give it a try, I’ll be here when you get back.
Be seeing you.
