Folks have always joked that the Friday night television slot is were shows go to die. There was definitely some truth to that prior to the age of the DVR, but things work a bit differently now. Fact of the matter is, there aren't a lot of households that watch any TV live anymore (outside of sports and the uptick in live watches due to everyone being at home).
Because of that, Friday evenings are now a veritable smörgåsbord of things to watch. Live sports are starting to trickle back into our lives, streaming services are putting out more exciting content every day, and there's even a couple of shows about dinosaurs out there!

Radioactive
It's strange that, no matter how much of an impact a woman may have had in science, the story of her male counterparts are still often told before hers. It's a bit ridiculous that we've had to wait this long for a feature film on Marie Curie, but at least the wait was worth it! Radioactive hits Amazon Prime Video today, and is definitely a worthy way to spend your evening.

Tokyo Olympics: Dreams Live On
COVID has resulted in a lot of heartbreak for a multitude of reasons across a whole host of industries.

Dino Hunters
This week's episode is titled "The Verdict is in: Nano or T-rex", and if that's not enough to get your attention, I don't know what is. While in Montana, Clayton hopes to find out if his skeleton is that of a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a Nanotyrannus. There's some exciting stuff going down in Wyoming while the crew preps their winter site as well.

When Sharks Attack
Have a family member who just wont stay off the beach no matter how many times you explain that there's a global pandemic outside? Hang out this afternoon and check out a new episode of When Sharks Attack.
Sharks are actually very lovely creatures with little interest on munching on humans provided their territory isn't in jeopardy and they're not starving, but that's not information you have to share while watching this episode!
