Reviews:
Rick reviewed the start of 'The Last of Us', season 2 on HBO & Max as a little slow, but an establishing episode & recommended
see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_of_Us_season_2
and Rick reviewed Amazon Prime's 'Wheel of Time' season 3, as episode 7 is 'a real banger' with really good acting & great scenery.
see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wheel_of_Time_(TV_series)
and Rick reviewed the first 2 episodes of 'Daredevil: Born Again' on Disney Plus as no longer on Netflix, so it was given a decent budget - as he thinks it is very well acted.

Ken reviewed that the robot revolution was televised as the new season for Dr Who started & the episode was fine, but nothing earth shattering & worth watching
and Ken reviewed 'Black Tight Killers', a Japanese movie with English subtitles - as fun to look at & worth watching
see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Tight_Killers
Yochanan reviewed 'Death of a Unicorn', as seen at matinee price. He considers it to be a dark comedy with horror elements & the last 10 minutes ramp up the horror. It's a big, splashy, cool movie with decent CGI & some really good humor. He rates it worth full price
see = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28443655/
and Yochanan reviewed 'A Minecraft Movie' as really cute & he's glad he saw it. He says that the bad jokes inspired a lot of audience reaction & participation. Definitely worth matinee & it was a lot of fun
see = https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3566834/
and Yochanan reviewed a series, "Yellowjackets' seen on Paramount Plus as the stranded girls get homicidal in season 3 & 'them girls are crazy'. He enjoyed it a great deal & recommends it
