???? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-

One of our favorite anime from the 90s (or really ever) is now on Netflix: Cowboy Bebop, which follows the wacky adventures of interstellar bounty hunters, was a reason why many of us here got into anime to begin with. Like the wacky and ragtag crew of the Bebop — made up of a hitman, an ex-cop, a con artist, a hacker kid, and most importantly an unsuspecting corgi — the show is the perfect amalgamation of some of our favorite genres, including noir, sci-fi, and western. If that wasn’t all, the show has one of the best original soundtracks, which is also a beautiful mashup of genres, including jazz, the blues, country, electronic and some hip hop. Enjoy it while it's still there.

BUT BE WARNED- Netflix only has it on there because they’re to mess with something perfect. In case we needed any more evidence of how creatively bankrupt Netflix is, the streaming channel will soon drop an English-language live action remake of the show on 19 November.

???? UNDER THE LAMPLIGHT-

The activity might be different, but the feeling is the same: Two of the world’s greatest freesolo climbers, Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell, wrote books on their experiences going up steep mountains in solo trips that could last weeks. Climbing itself is a sport that requires fierce deliberation and focus throughout. Honnold’s Alone on the Wall and Caldwell’s The Push both chronicle how they got into the sport and honed the mindset needed to climb — endurance, perseverance, quick assessments of situations, and the willingness to backtrack when needed. Even if you are by no means a climber, the pair have a way of telling stories that resonates with anyone that needs to overcome challenges to reach a greater goal … and learn to enjoy the process.

The duo also teach a masterclass on climbing together and their chemistry together is unmatched.
