Reviews:
Dave G reviewed the announcement of Hugo nominations as done very well & cleverly - worth full price
Dave C reviewed Creature Features as an odd choice - 'Fools Rush In' as not genre & reviewed 'Faked to Death' by Dean James as a light, fun mystery
Trey reviewed 'Boss Baby' as 'Juvenile', with a forgettable plot &a you can save your money- wait for TV
Mo reviewed 'Kong' as 'don't expect Shakespeare here' - the CG was done well & she was thouroughly entertained & really enjoyed the end cookie
We did auctions
We adjourned at 8:56 pm
And the rumor of the week was 'Fox news has done to our parents generation what they feared video games would do to ours'
