Oooooooh, I have one:
It’s like a 5 page spread for the whole spiel but this is the most relevant page.
The one thing i will add it that the eye thing primarily is super true and backed up by science as 20% of our brain is dedicated to visual functions and adding a third would make our heads very very hard to handle for almost 0 benefits.
Drew Hayes: Anything he wrote but Superpowereds are about 30 hours on average and there’s 4. Phil and Kaja Folio: Girl Genius.
I also don’t see The Martian on this page so adding it as a suggestion.
Rey and Finn burgeoning romance hinted at in FA. I really wish they had built on that. Successful or not I can live with but at least try.
Lifelong fan of SW. I have seen all of them up to Last Jedi. I have read all of the EU back when it was cannon. Never went to New Jedi Order. Because the emotions it brought me were pain and suffering. They kill Mara Jade. The only other bad ass female character in a series of 30+ books. What about Children of the Jedi? I mean the entire Trilogy is whiny 70’s sci fi emo writing all it’s own but that the Star Wars stamp was put on it just adds insult to injury.
How techy are you and what level of handheld are you willing to get them? Retropie comes with a built in shutdown timer and you can set up cron jobs remotely to shut down after a time or even at certain times. Down side: You need to know how to set them up AND you are not going to get a machine that runs the latest and greatest.
You could go all out and get them a steam deck and set up crons but that’s strictly local to the machine.
The anime out of context podcast on the former fits your description perfectly. The latter is too awesome for words.

I suspect part of it is protagonist. I, as a kid saw Luke as the character I was supposed to see the movie through. In EBS he’s barely there and he is at the lowest by the end.
In ROTJ you see his bitter sweet triumph but triumph never the less.
No one tell them.
Sexistest just does NOT roll off the tongue.
This and the waves of thirst bots “following” you every day pretty much makes this a non issue.
My boss was all 100% for stay WFH. All of us are in different countries so it would literally affect 5 people total. Nope. They had a big higher ups meeting with just him and suddenly he has no good arguments for it but he is 100% for “we will all go back to the office”. I have a few guesses as to why he changed his mind and most of them start with: “They told you that if we didn’t go back they didn’t need you anymore.”
Squint. Not even kidding, you squeeze it slightly.
