REVIEWS:
Craig reviewed a show called 'Upload' on Amazon Prime as not a great show but he kinda of likes it
John O reviewed 'Turning Red' by Pixar as a metaphor for puberty & highly recommended it & is streaming on Disney Plus;
he also reviewed 'Encanto', rating it as great & thinks the songs were great, with stunning visuals
Howeird reviewed 'Resident Alien', season 2, that the alien character is gaining greater depth & some of the other characters have greater depth & more diverse, varied casting than is usual for TV; Rick followed that he is loving this in spite of hating sit-coms

Gerard reviewed MarsCon this last weekend, held in Bloomington, Minnesota, where he gave 3 presentations - got a lot done - and still had some time to enjoy the con
Yochanan reviewed 'Encanto' on Disney Plus as a computer generated animated film as disappointing because - while it looked nice - that the plot was inconsistent, the songs were not memorable and rates it as okay & worth free or maybe matinee;
he also reviewed the new version of 'Cyrano' as he could tell that it is based on a play & there were some really nice performances & was moving & he very much recommends it;
& he reviewed 'The Book of Boba Fett' as the last episodes became very much the Mandalorian, season 3 & very much loved it, even though he is not much of a Star Wars fan & highly recommends it
Gayle reviewed MarsCon as she didn't get much sleep during the con and had a very interesting time there and found the panel on Afrofuturism to be fascinating
we adjourned at 8:44 pm
and the rumor of the week was = 'Daylight Savings Time: Time travel made easy!'
