Ep.189 - Bill Russell & Nichelle Nichols
In a week where:
- Rebekah Vardy loses Libel case against Coleen Rooney.
- NBA legend Bill Russell dies aged 88.
- Iconic actress Nichelle Nichols dies aged 89.
- England win the Women's Euro 2022.
- Al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahri killed in US airstrike.
In Sports: (6:52) The great Bill Russell died aged 88. A pillar of basketball, Russell inspired many, including a player that is arguably on the same plateau as Russell, but would never dare say it himself: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
In the 1st of two Film/TV segments: (22:42) In a tragic double, actress Nichelle Nichols also passed in the weekend. Notably one of the first Black women featured in a major US television series.
In the 2nd Film/TV segment: (32:10) With the recent slate of Marvel shows & films being announced, people rightly turned to the VFX industry, wondering how the hell they're going to keep up.
Lastly, In Tech: (43:13) The people behind DALL-E are now allowing people to use DALL-E and sell whatever they get from the program. Which begs the questions: Will it always be like that and what precedent does this set for the future of art?
