Interested in watching good and bad fantasy (and adjacent) movies for yor (well 70 & 80's mainly) and sharing your thoughts will the collective?

Happy Chinese New Year!
And for those born in 1966 or 2026:

This will be a monthly 'book club' of sorts for games and conversations about play, inspired by @molleindustria.org + others' LikeLike.

Help us spread the word!
