and Rick reviewed a Charles Stross book, 'A Conventional Boy', a Laundry series book that he is enjoying it quite a lot as a 'comedy of manners, with tentacles'

Yochanan reviewed Disney's live, latest 'Snow White' & felt it was not as bad as he was led to believe. He liked the costuming, did not like the CGI dwarves & thought it worth matinee
see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_White_(2025_film)
and Yochanan reviewed a play he saw, the Sunnyvale Players performing 'A Midsummer's Night Dream', framed as reality TV & he thought it was worked out really well

and Yochanan reviewed a movie called 'Sinners', seen today in IMAX & he found it really, really cool - a thriller, horror adventure piece and very much worth full price. It was shockingly good; Rick agreed
see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinners_(2025_film)
Ken reviewed the latest episode of Dr Who went well, with a very gripping story and worth the subscription to Disney Plus, Ncuti Gatwa acted quite well; Lisa also enjoyed it, as did Yochanan & Rick
see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Who_series_15
and the rumor of the week was = 'I am Snow White, hear me roar'
we adjourned at = 8:29pm
