A little bit of news if you are a UK Amazon Prime Video subscriber: The 2019 comedy-drama, Blinded by the Light has been added to Prime Video. The film is a coming-of-age story about a teenager and his love of Bruce Springsteen music.

This film was only released last year, so if you missed it at the cinema (like me) then now is the chance to catch up. If you have access to Prime Video, it could be one to watch this afternoon.

Mastering You-Tube

Over the past couple of days, as I have put these posts together, I have listened to music. Today, I have episodes of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe playing in the background.

If you want a hit of instant nostalgia, to remind you of the good times, you can find LOTS of episodes of Masters of the Universe on YouTube, via the official He-Man channel.

The channel also has episodes of She-Ra: Princess of Power and The New Adventures of He-Man, should you want to lose yourself to old school cartoons. Or you want to introduce them to the younger members of your family – they are all free to watch.
