Reviews:

Dave C reviewed seeing the Warner cartoon, 'The Day the Earth Blew Up', as he saw it in San Francisco. It was a matinee & nothing about it really grabbed him. There was a lot of activity in the film, but to not much purpose & he rates it as a bit of a flop

Rick reviewed Amazon Prime's 'Wheel of Time' latest episode, episode 5, as a 'best of the series, so far'. He is amazed that the writing and production values were so exceptionally good - & even worthy of consideration for a Hugo Award nomination.
and Rick also reviewed a YouTube reviewer - Friendly Space Ninja - as perceptive, always worth checking out & recommends checking out the site.
