ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Yochanan announced that Bob Barker died
REVIEWS:
Rick reviewed the Disney Plus 'Ahsoka', Star Wars Rebels plot-line as well-enough acted & well-enough of a distraction to be worth watching, based on two episodes seen.
Yochanan reviewed a Netflix show called Oats Studies, comprised of 10 episodes of varying length, from a few minutes to up around 20 minutes long, most dealing with nightmare scenarios & he recommends viewing them; Rick followed, also recommending it

& Yochanan reviewed 'Women in Motion' from 2019, about Nichelle Nichols, as seen on Amazon Prime and highly recommended; see = https://www.amazon.com/Woman-Motion-Nichelle-Nichols-Remaking/dp/B08W2L5VRL
Lisa reviewed 'Oppenheimer' as fairly interesting & fairly accurate to history & parts of the depiction were just amazing. She thinks it is well worth seeing in a theater setting; several people commented about how powerful it is to see the movie in a theater with a good sound system
Robin reviewed 'Samurai Rabbit' on Netflix based on the Stan Sakai comic involving a descendant of Usagi Yojimbo in a tech setting as interesting; Aaetheus asked if it was like 'Samurai Jack' & there was some discussion to the topic
