REVIEWS:
John O reviewed a mostly Adam Savage-hosted series of workshops online that are 2-3 hours long
check the url = https://siliconsj.com/makers-workshop-maskmaking/
as they have been reasonably simple and easy to follow, so highly recommended
He advises that if you select the Virtual events tab, you can see the previous panels (also missing the latest panel).
Yochanan reviewed a movie on Amazon Prime - 'Greenland', a disaster film that he thought was really well done, character-driven & he liked it & then reviewed a 'really good' show he watching on Neflix, 'Shtisel' as he's really loving it
Todd reviewed 'Resident Alien' as he is really liking it
