He also reviewed a show called 'Mother/Android' on Hulu as he wanted to like it but that there are way too many plot holes in it & it was tremendously unclear what was happening; not worth watching. He also reviewed an anime movie called 'Poupelle of Chimney Town' as delightful & absurd & original & he really, really enjoyed it - worth full price - for info check = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poupelle_of_Chimney_Town_(film) Gerry reviewed the underwater volcanic eruption at Tonga as a major event & the eruption could be heard out to Alaska - and this inspired some discussion Craig reviewed that they finished watching 'The Expanse' as it's one of the best things he's seen in a long time & it was an amazing production; Yochanan followed saying that he really liked the way the series handled a character death when the actor was written out of the plot; Rick thinks the series ended well Lisa reviewed today as utterly crappy. She damaged the wheel of her car - on top of having a flat tire & damaged her phone's screen protector, definitely not worth full price Rick reviewed a 1-season science-fiction show from Finland & Sweden, 'White Wall', as angst-ridden, 8-episodes & pretty good & worth seeking out on HBO Max "A mysterious white wall made of unknown material is found deep underground at the mining site of the world's largest nuclear waste depository." we adjourned at 8:25 pm and the rumor of the week = 'The 49ers will have the chance to lose to the Rams next week' -- ******************* She/whispered/'Oh/my/goodness/what/are/all/these/squirrels/doing/here?' melc...@gmail.com *******************
