Books, Inc. 855 El Camino Real, @ Embarcadero #74, Palo Alto -- in Town & Country Shopping Center
and he reviewed 'I.S.S.' as a sort of small, low budget film that was interesting & he mostly enjoyed watching it
and he reviewed an Amazon Prime show, 'The Hazbin Hotel', an animated show with lots of cursing & singing in it. He loves it, finding it original and well-animated - highly recommended

Rick reviewed & recommends the second season of 'What If' on Disney Plus as he binge watched it & found it highly enjoyable - (Disney+, 9 eps, animated) continues to play engagingly with alternate plotlines for MCU characters. Lots of good voice characters, surprisingly coherent plot through-line.
Kennita reviewed re-watching the 1995 re-make of a movie, 'The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes', as she enjoyed watching & it was worth viewing for free
