I definitely made some mistakes, The Image Book, for instance, is too low, and I should probably have thrown First Reformed a couple of points, though it clearly didn't need them...

Was I the only one who watched Infinite Football, or what happened?

i never heard of it until today tbh. it sounds intriguing though

We tried to find it repeatedly but couldn't
