He rated it as delightful throughout. Yochanan reviewed a Disney Plus show called 'The Book of Boba Fett' as okay. It has a lot of fan service & is not bad, but not on his favorites list. He considers it a must-see if you are a Star Wars fan. Craig followed that he saw it & considers it as still, basically, the Mandalorian & Yochanan reviewed 'All of Us are Dead', a Korean import on Netflix & has a similar feel to Squid Games, but is about zombies & is super violent & can be seen either subtitled or dubbed & he recommends it, if you like violence or zombies Howeird reviewed the Olympics closing ceremony as nowhere near as technologically advanced as the opening ceremony but full of hope & he was impressed at how energetic the volunteers were. He was disappointed that the NBC hosts just would not shut up & also disappointed that there was no Chinese music presented during the ceremony; Ken followed that the Italy presentation was dizzying - in not a good way - the secretary followed that the USA channel showed nearly 24 hour a day coverage & had some excellent LACK of narrator drivel during events & was quite good Gayle enjoyed the skiing & short track skating & finds the acrobatic skiing was mind-boggling & mentioned that the Women's 30K had a Minnesota gal get the Bronze medal & she wishes she could have see more Kennita commented that she thought that it looked like China chose Western music to garner better TV ratings Gerry commented that the women's 30K Silver medalist also won an earlier sprint skiing competition - which is astonishing, considering how different the 2 sports are John O reviewed the 4th installment of the Hotel Transylvania movie series, 'Transformania', as a very silly movie wherein hijinks ensued.
