Gerry commented that he doesn't enjoy the tendency to film so much in the dark Yochanan reviewed the 1st 2 seasons of 'The Mandalorian' has he's never really been a Star Wars fan, but really, really has enjoyed the whole show & this surprised him & also reviewed a TV movie 'We Can Be Heroes' as very formulaic, a kid movie & is worth free for kids with low expectations John O reviewed 'The Mandalorian' as, if you like it, be sure to see the Disney Plus 'Disney Gallery' which is a 'making-of' for the series & then reviewed 'Wonder Woman 1984' as it falls a little flat, but there are some very good scenes. It does not lend itself to the small screen & he recommends it & then reviewed 'Soul' as a wonderful movie & also recommends it Gerry reviewed having duck for dinner for Christmas worked very well with the way Gayle chose to cook it - as doing so with it upright, so that the fat cooks out and ends up in the pan & can be used later Dave C commented that 'Wonder Woman 1984' is actually showing at several theaters ... some rather far afield we adjourned at 8:30 pm and the rumor of the week = 'The tunnel at the end of the light' -- ******************* She/whispered/'Oh/my/goodness/what/are/all/these/squirrels/doing/here?' melc...@gmail.com *******************
