The Friday Link for 4/2/21

Apologies!  I'm in the middle of Spring Break week with my kids so this is the only post I have for you this week.

I've really enjoyed the Marvel Series on Disney+.  WandaVision was exceptional and did not shy away from the idea that the hero can become the villain in a blink of an eye.  

The second series Marvel has released is Falcon and The Winter Soldier.  This series takes two of the lesser characters from the Captain America comic book universe and gives them their own series, and as enjoyable as Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan are in the title roles, it's Wyatt Russell who is stealing the show.

The replacement for Captain America in the Marvel world is actually a character in comics more known as the US Agent John Walker, and he's quite the jerk. Seriously as kind and righteous as Chris Evans character was, Walker is a hollow shell of the original Cap. I was very concerned they would try to soften the character, but so far Wyatt Russell is absolutely crushing it.

Wyatt is the son of Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell and before he got into acting was quite a good hockey goalie, even playing college level. The Friday Link this week starts off with a few cuts from Off Camera with Sam Jones.  The first cut is how Wyatt, as the son of two very famous Hollywood actors, had to find his own path through hockey. 

Next Wyatt talks about the end of his playing days, due to injuries. 

The final Off Camera cut talks about his trying out for Falcon and The Winter Soldier and the reality is he appears to have unintentionally nailed his tryout. 

Finally tonight, while I can't post an episode of the show, I can post New Rockstars exceptional episode Breakdown of the 2nd episode of Falcon and The Winter Soldier.  I know these things can get really geeky, but if you are going to watch something like this, you might as well watch the people who are doing it best. Erik Voss does a great job with these videos. 

Have a great weekend.  Happy Easter if you celebrate that sort of thing!

Stay healthy and stay safe!
