REVIEWS:
Ken reviewed 'Bohemian Rhapsody' as worth seeing opening night in IMAX - JC followed, agreeing that it's worth seeing & he had hopes & they were exceeded; then Ken reviewed seeing 'Evil Dead the Musical' as they were in the splatter zone & had a lot of fun - Dave G saw it and agrees - then Ken reviewed seeing the Symphony SF music of the Harry Potter music as they had a nice time
JC reviewed 'Mousecon' at the Claremont Hotel as small & it was kind of nice to go there
Adrienne reviewed the new Doctor as she is doing a really good job
John O reviewed 'Bad Times at the El Royale' as an ensemble cast movie that includes lots of turns and twists and an almost-always-shirtless Chris Hemsworth - he recommends it
Mike Wallis reviewed the randomized book tour that John Scalzi is doing as they had a good time at it & he reviewed a library moving its collection in part by allowing unlimited book check-out as being kind of a lovely idea
