He saw it on Netflix, describing it as an action - spy - thriller that grabbed him from episode one. There are 2 seasons of 8 episodes each. The entire series is rated well with excellent acting and he considers it absolutely worth full price see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lazarus_Project_(TV_series) and Yochanan also reviewed the Murderbot Diary book series by Martha Wells, having now read the entire series, as 'reading one makes you want to read all the others, like popcorn'. He finds the entire series delightful. He recommends both the books and the TV adaptation as wonderful, worth seeking out and 'so much fun to read'. see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Murderbot_Diaries and Yochanan also reviewed a film called 'Weapons' that is streaming right now. The film is a supernatural horror movie that he found to be outstanding and worked on many levels. He considers it absolutely worth full price, especially since he usually doesn't like horror movies at all. Again, highly recommended. see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weapons_(2025_film) Randy reviewed a book, 'The Unkillable Frank Lightning' by Josh Rountree, as a reimagining of the Frankenstein idea set in the Old West & highly recommends it. Also set in the same universe is the author's first novel, 'The Legend of Charlie Fish' that he also recommends. see = https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/217105589-the-unkillable-frank-lightning Ken reviewed the Guillermo del Toro version of 'Frankenstein' - that was briefly out in theaters & is now on Netflix - as it was gorgeously done and is worth full price. Yochanan opined that it is a visually striking movie. He thought it done very well & highly recommends it. see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankenstein_(2025_film) Rick reviewed Guy Fawkes day as 'Guy got burned'. He says it was a nice day on the beach & a fun time was had by all and Rick also reviewed 'Fantastic Four, First Steps' as the set design is retro-1960s and fun, although he is only 30 minutes into the movie thus far. Thus far he finds it very well done. Yochanan followed, saying that he saw it when it was in the theater and liked it a lot. see = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fantastic_Four:_First_Steps we adjourned at = 8:29pm Rumor of the Week: 'Next up - the Washington Monument will be covered in gold leaf' there were auctions -- ******************* She/whispered/'Oh/my/goodness/what/are/all/these/squirrels/doing/here?'
