First thing that popped into my mind: Galavant. It’s a prime time network fantasy comedy from a writer of Cars and Tangled, teamed up with the composer from Beauty and the Beast and The Little Mermaid.
It’s like if The Princess Bride was two seasons of musical television with songs from the golden 90’s era of Disney. In a just world, it’d have six seasons and a movie.
I love this energy.
Number three…
The larch.
A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers. If you could distill pure insufferable smugness into a liquid, this was him squirting it into your mouth while you’re not paying attention and laughing at you while you sputter and gag.

Someone asked a similar question from a retro portable gaming standpoint, if it’s useful.
…surely you have kissably fresh breath…
Ugh. You’re annoyingly right.
28 Weeks Later.
After the opening sequence sets it up and the story proper begins, it only progresses due to repeated, profound stupidity.
“Let’s just run around outside of quarantine during a zombie apocalypse!”
“My wife has been out in Zombieworld for ages and has turned up seemingly unaffected and is being kept under strict quarantine protocols - I should make out with her!”
Oops. Spanish Prisoner. My brain just stopped or I read that.
I’m upvoting you on pure enthusiasm.
Oh damn I haven’t watched Spanish Prisoner since college. It was one of my “you’ve never heard of this but it’s awesome” recommendations for ages!
Edit: added the actual movie I’m talking about
This should just be a 1D spectrum line.

Enshittification. Once you learn it, you see it everywhere. It’s depressing.

Look, I think it’s important to state here that while you can often offer prompts to strangers with no ill effect, 7% of strangers are DEATHLY ALLERGIC to prompts. I know it’s fun to give your strangers prompts sometimes, but I urge you all NOT to give prompts to strangers or you run the very real risk of harming them seriously.

Let me know if you try it! I’m pretty excited. I’m setting Retropie to boot straight into a selection of arcade games on MAME so you’ll just plug in power, plug in HDMI to whatever TV, press the button, and after ~2 minutes of boot, you can fire up Golden Axe or Darkstalkers.
In case I forget, I can give you the gist (all the extension cords are internal just to get the jacks exposed outside the case):
Main hardware:
Power:

Control (waiting for these to arrive):
Basically that particular fight stick opens very neatly and includes a decent amount of open space where the Pi Zero can fit along with a big (~7x120mm) slot out the front that the cable goes out. Once I get all the right cables run, it should be easy peasy. The 3D printed part is mostly to keep it from just having three little cable jacks hanging loose out the front, but if you’re not a neat freak, you can get it done with 2-3 online orders and an afternoon.
Criminally overlooked and underrated.
