REVIEWS:
Mark reviewed 'Spinning Silver' by Naomi Novik, a new retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin folk tale & that it is eligible for the Hugo - interestingly written & recommended & he reviewed Farah Mendelsohn's book - 'The Pleasant Profession of Robert A Heinlein' as well-written & well-sourced
Andy reviewed the Eurovision finals season as that some of the finalists are definitely different & do sound interesting & also reviewed Ducktales, specifically season 2, episode 7 - 'Whatever Happened to Della Duck' was written by people obsessed with Duckberg, Disney stuff & obscure references [like 'Nausicaa'] & was completely enjoyed; then [evil] Kevin followed, saying that the musical score for the episode enhance it tremendously & he recommends it
Lisa reviewed Influenza A as the worst ever and not covered in this year's vaccine, reviewed Gallifrey One as fun, except for getting the flu there & reviewed 'Captain Marvel' as great fun and a good movie
Ken also reviewed 'Captain Marvel' as '2 thumbs up' - there were also comments that the cat was the best part
Gayle reviewed Pretty Yende at Opera at the Met as a phenomenal vocalist who has an amazing range
Vinetta reviewed 'Green Book' as an excellent movie & recommended
