Ep.134 - Cuba, Vince Staples & The Three Lions

In a week where:

  1. It didn't come home...
  2. "Black Widow" breaks pandemic era record with $80M at the box office on opening weekend.
  3. Richard Branson goes to "space".
  4. Northrop Grumman is going to build homes orbiting the moon. ($935 million NASA contract)
  5. The UK Government lock in the 0.2% cut in International Aid from 0.7% to 0.5%.

In Life: (6:49) It's kicking off in Cuba. Protests in the streets, multiple arrests and people going missing. So why is Cuba in this state?

In Music: (21:26) Vince Staples has recently dropped a new 'album', but as someone that's lukewarm to his music, I love when Vince talks in interviews, so let's see where his head is at.

In Film/TV: (38:15) Cinemas in the US have been back open for a while, the same with UK cinemas. But is it just me, or are people not really flocking back in the way we assumed?

Lastly, in Sports: (50:15) It didn't come home. But for me, there wasn't really a chance to reflect on a good Tournament gone by. Instead, racism came to predictably ruin everything.

Thank you for listening! If you want to contribute to the show, whether it be sending me questions or voicing your opinion in any way, peep the contact links below and I'll respond accordingly. Let me know "What's Good?"
