Ep.248 - Short Films, Banksy & Gaza

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Rudolph Isley, founding member of the Isley Brothers, dies aged 84.
2. Microsoft completes Activision Blizzard acquisition for $68.7B.
3. Australia rejects proposal to recognise Aboriginal people in constitution.
4. New Zealand Labour lose general election to centre-right National party.
5. Joe Biden visits Israel.

In Film: (4:44) Short films are a very important part of any filmmaker's career. But the average film watcher rarely watches short films. Why is this?

In Media: (21:26) I've covered the Streaming Wars and Streaming in general for a while now. But with the many many issues that come with Streaming and its model, is it starting to eat itself?

In the 1st of two Life segments: (39:50) For YEARS I have pounded the drum that Banksy isn't just one person, but a network of people. But with a defamation suit on Banksy's head, we now know that I have been right all these years!

Lastly, in the 2nd Life segment: (49:15) The oppression of Palestine continues as the Israeli state indiscriminately bomb everything Palestinian. But one side of this that needs to be highlighted is the West's role and their strengthened support of the State of Israel.

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?"
