Ep.192 - Sacheen Littlefeather & "Critic-Influencers"

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Parts of the UK goes into a drought.
2. Writer Salman Rushdie is stabbed on stage in New York.
3. David Bowie tops a Sky Arts list of Britain's 50 most influential artists of the last 50 years.
4. The UK is the first country to approve a new COVID booster that targets both the original virus as well as the Omicron variants.
5. Liz Cheney gets clapped in her Republican Primary.

In Film/TV: (8:13) Nearly 50 years ago, activist Sacheen Littlefeather went to the Oscars on behalf of Marlon Brando and refused his Oscar win. It's only until now that AMPAS finally gave a formal apology.

In The Arts: (20:18) Critics are an essential cog to the watch of Art; but what happens when critics become influencers in the modern sense? Are they even critics at that point?

In the 1st of two Society segments: (33:35) It's time to talk billionaires again! This time, we talk private jets and how that's yet another reason for billionaires to cease (financial) existence.

Lastly, in the 2nd Society segment: (47:41) Depending on how travelled you are, you may have been to a place with different customs to you. One of those intersections is 'loose' and 'tight' countries.
