'Last Jedi' was reviewed positively
Lisa reviewed 'Christmas in the Park' as they really enjoyed it & there was a Flying Spegetti Monster; Alex found the parking to be horrendous
Dave C reviewed the new 'Bladerunner' movie as he deeply regrets seeing it, well made but so depressing that it drained the life out of him [M.Siladi agreed], then Dave reviewed 'Happy!' on TV as strange and insane and he likes it
Adrienne reviewed the latest season of 'Doc Marten' as she enjoyed it & loved the cinematography
Brad reviewed the Department of the Interior as pleasantly efficient
Diana reviewed her one day at the Heroes and Villains media con as she enjoyed herself and may go next year
