Reviews
Yochanan
‘Hunting the Dashia‘ by Rebecca Inch-Partridge as an action-packed book with a very well-thought-out universe full of different kinds of sentient beings
The Nethercutt Museum in Silmar, a car museum that has guided tours for $20 & he found it worth full price. He highly recommends it.
The town of San Miguel, halfway from San Francisco to LA off the 101 freeway, and took a short tour there. He rates the visit as worth matinee. Rios Caldonea was built in 1846 & he visited the museum there
Ken
1932 film, ‘The Old Dark House‘ which is Boris Karloff’s first on-screen credit, a very short film & not well known. There are elements from this film that may have inspired some of ‘Rocky Horror’ & he found it interesting. He rates it as full prince (but the 1963 version is worth watching on cable).
‘Saturday Night Live UK‘, on Peacock & he considers that the show has been having fun this season. He mentions that this last week James Austin Johnson appeared in the cold open as President Donald Trump, with some rough language.
Rumor of the Week
The 49ers nearly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
