"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

On Ep.134 of WG: Cuba kicks off, Vince Staples drops gems, Cinema's might struggle and racism ruins football... Again.

Show Notes

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.

Welcome to "What's Good?", where I tackle a myriad of subjects: From Film/TV to Music, to Tech, Race & Society; Current Affairs and many more, through my eyes and the eyes of the writers I read.

So if you take an interest in anything I feel like talking about any given week, along with the occasional interview with Friends of 5E, then this is your podcast.
