Reviews:

Yochanan reviewed an Amazon Prime show called 'Secret Level', an animated anthology that tend to feature very short but visually stunning episodes - all worth full price
see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secret_Level
Yochanan also reviewed another Amazon Prime show called 'It, Welcome to Derry', a semi-prequel to the Stephen King novel 'It' as being rather interesting, while a bit on the mystical side. It's somewhat over the top with violence and worth paying full price to see

Yochanan also reviewed a Netflix show called '1899' that starts as a historical drama, moves on to time travel and science fiction. He thought it had lots of potential - but sadly there is only the one season. He enjoyed the use of multiple languages, but thinks the English dub is terrible. He considers it still well-worth watching and also recommends the 'making of' special, as well. Rick agrees with Yochanan's opinion & there was some discussion of the topic

Gerald reviewed the word 'perfidy' as a nasty bit of war crime that the U.S. Navy is currently being called upon to perform by the present administration

we adjourned at = 8:28 pm
