Ep.194 - Business In Art & A24

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Pakistan suffer flash floods, affecting millions.
2. Facebook settles on Cambridge Analytica lawsuit.
3. Moderna is suing rival company Pfizer and BioNTech for allegedly copying its technology behind the development of the first COVID-19 vaccines.
4. Notting Hill Carnival comes & goes.
5. The last leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev, dies aged 91.

In the 1st of two Film segments: (9:02) With the recent WB/Discovery money burning, it's left a bad taste for people in and around the Film Industry. But how about... Not letting executives shank art?

In the 2nd Film segment: (29:12) If you are even a hint of a Film person, you have heard of the independent production & distribution company A24. Every time they have a new drop, it brings in a fresh batch of cult followers, obsessed with the indie aura A24 creates.

In TV: (49:52) The late Michael K Williams will have a memoir dropping thessame day as this episode, and in this excerpt, he talks about life after his role in the now legendary TV show "The Wire".

Lastly, in Sports: (1:06:38) During the recent Usyk/Joshua fight last week, high ranking members of FIFA & Saudi Arabia were chilling together, proposing a potential Saudi bid for the World Cup; which could be considered as the final nail in the Sportswashing coffin.
