Gerry announced that he is now officially a cyborg. He now has a pacemaker installed & feels much better. There was MUCH approval & happiness of this state having been attained.
Reviews:
Yochanan reviewed 'The Boys' on Amazon Prime's 5th & final season. The series finished well, with many deaths and lots of blood. Recommended, worth full price. Rick agrees & says there are YouTube vids to explain all the in-jokes, including a hilarious one about Elon Musk.
Yochanan also reviewed a Disney Plus movie streaming called 'Rental Family' as he wished he had seen it in the theatres & it really is a great movie. He thinks it is worth full price for a theatre showing. Ken agrees 100%

Yochanan also reviewed a book series by Jodi Taylor called 'the Chronicles of Saint Mary's', up to book 8 as it is very British & about time travel. He finds the series interesting & worth matinee

Rick reviewed TV+ 'For All Mankind'’s finale for this season as they did very well & he looks forward to the next & last season. Yochanan also enjoyed the finale & he highly, highly recommends it.

Rick also reviewed 'Star City' is the same story as a spin-off from the Soviet perspective of 'For All Mankind' and was wild and very well done. He recommends it and is onboard for future episodes. Yochanan enjoyed it and thinks it has a lot of potential, but feels that it has a much darker tone.

Rumor of the Week: 'Our very own Gerry will “stick” with us for a long time because he’s been “paced”
