Reviews
Sandra: George Clooney The Midnight Sky (dir, act) Warning astronauts to not come home after nuclear event. Free on Netflix. The Midnight Sky

Yochanan: Black Adam: w/ The Rock. Saw matinee. Had action, great FX, plot all over the map. Confusing. Needed to be tightened up. Visually stunning. Worth matinee, not full price. Fun and mindless.
Book: The Defiant Agents (third in a series by Andre Norton) Not as good as the first two. Hoping the next one is better. C+
Lower Decks (S3 Paramount+) This season has been outstanding. It has gone where no toon has gone before. They had a DS9 episode, there was character growth. All the characters were great. Two thumbs up.
Lisa: Enjoyed watching Doctor Who: The Power of the Doctor (again) at the Legion of Rassilon meeting. Was nice to see the whole show (her Comcast stream was breaking up). Really liked it. Good sendoff for Jodie Whittaker. Looking forward to what Doctor 10/14 and Donna will bring in next year’s 60th anniversary specials.
Yochanan: The Legion of Rassilon meeting was fantastic, great turn-out. The episode was probably his favorite of 13’s tenure. Great mix of new and old.
Sandra Crimes of the Future. David Cronenberg. Body horror, not for kids (maybe not for adults) goes to extreme places. was $0.99 on iTunes.
