Hey all, Jason here. I enjoyed the couple of days I was able to spend in Saudi — despite some notable differences in the financial services landscape (Sharia-compliant products), there were more similarities than differences: lots of discussion of the opportunities presented by open banking, instant payments, the viability of BNPL, and the future of crypto and blockchain.

The American Idol Season 22 auditions continued apace Sunday (seemingly brought to you by the Santa Barbara Tourism Board, as California Gurl Katy Perry took her fellow judges Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan on a guided visit of her sunny hometown).

I get to meet professor Dr.

“There’s more than one way to lose your life to a killer…” So runs the tagline of Zodiac, a film which opened to little fanfare outside of Fincher aficionados in 2007, yet grew to be regarded as one of the best of the decade. I visited the set in 2006, felt the warm aura of Mark Ruffalo, the intimidating charisma of Robert Downey Jr and the general indifference of Jake Gyllenhaal, who may have justifiably been suspicious of a journalist on set, or just had more important things on his mind.

It’s that time again, for a Retro Review, where I take some time to sit down with one old video game from the last 15-30 years and give it an honest shake. Now, my last two reviews have scored quite well with 1995’s Command and Conquer and 1999’s Metal Gear Solid: VR Missions both scoring a respectable 7.8/10. This month’s selection? The SNES cult classic Zombies Ate My Neighbors! Let’s see how this 16-bit gem holds up after 30 years and how it compares to the last two games we’ve looked at.
