​Ordinarily, a reunion show is not something I would have any interest in. I prefer looking forward to looking back. But, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air is one of the few shows that isn’t science-fiction or fantasy, that I have any nostalgia for. Plus I was bored, so I decided to make an exception for this reunion and I’m glad that I did.

​In the Netflix documentary Saving Capitalism, noted public policy specialist Robert Reich provides his views on what ails modern American capitalism. His focus is on two major points. First, that deregulation is a form of regulation, insofar as that it is a decision about what to regulate and how. Second, Reich details the ways in which increasing concentrations of wealth among the richest classes in society leads to those classes having greater political influence, which leads them to have greater wealth, in a continuous cycle.

The Mars Generation (Netflix) is a documentary that covers a group of teenagers attending Space Camp. In exploring their interest in space generally (and Mars specifically), it’s also an ode to human spaceflight, NASA, and humanity as a whole. In addition to following the campers as they engage in tons of fascinating space-related activities, The Mars Generation also contains interviews with experts and provides a surprisingly thorough history of human spaceflight (from an American perspective) which provides viewers with an understanding of how NASA’s human spaceflight program has ended up in the disappointing state that it is currently in and how its future may change.
