Reviews:
Rick reviewed the 2nd season of 'Pluribus' on Apple TV as the series contains many familiar acting faces & is very 'Twilight Zone-y'. It really feels different & the acting is excellent, with the stories going in unexpected directions. He is 'definitely fully-invested in the show' and heartily recommends it. Duncan followed, saying that the series causes deep thoughts, especially compared to the modern political system.

Kennita reviewed 'Wicked For Good' in 3D as the special effects showed well in 3D. She thought the movie was interesting & enjoyed the way the plot was done. She rates the movie as a 'solid B+' but not quite as impressive as she might have hoped. She thinks it will make a good 'sing-a-long' movie.

Rumor of the Week: 'That everyone has something to say when Ken is running the meetings.'
