Reviews
Rick: Doctor Who: Boom! Redeems faith in the current team. Written by Steven Moffatt. Well acted. Practically a “bottle” episode. It is the best.
Yochanan: Ditto. Adrienne: Loved it! Was excited when she heard Moffatt was back.
Adrienne: Renegade Nell (D+) Interesting. Early 18th century England. Widow of sea captain foils a highway robbery. Fun show. Soft-core historical fantasy.
Mo: Fun to watch. Villain is villainous and disgusting. Lots of fantasy elements.
Yochanan: Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (in cinemas) 2.5 hours long, drags a bit in the middle. appx 300 years after the last movie. good world-building. good but not great. First of a new trilogy.
Resident Alien (now seen two seasons) It’s so much better than it has any right to be! Comedy that isn’t just a comedy. Everyone does such an outstanding job.
Rick: Also addicted to it. Barney Miller was the last sitcom he ever really watched. But thinks this is great! Mo: Alan Tudyk is great.
Mo: Dead Boy Detective Agency (Netflix) Two ghosts who are detectives who help souls to move on. Delightful. Tongue-and-cheek
School Spirits (Netflix) HS ghosts. Good actors, not a 90210 cast.
Craig: Lud-in-the-Mist by Hope Mirrlees, 1926, amazing fantasy. Predictive of ‘70s hallucenagenic. Give it a shot if you like fantasy.
Lisa: Also recommends, and well liked in the Mythopedic Society. Still holds up well.
Kenita = The Fall Guy (in cinemas) Action adventure mixed with cult of competence. Lots of fun (a couple plot holes). Some rom-com elements. Recommends.
Rumor of the Week: Be careful, the mummy might be real.
