Ep.142 - Shang-Chi, 9/11 & Michael K. Williams

In a week where:

1. WhatsApp is fined $266 Million Over Data Transparency Breaches.
2. Hurricane Ida floods New York & New Jersey.
3. Texas effectively make abortion illegal with the green light from US Supreme Court. 
4. Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding dies aged 39 from breast cancer.
5. TikTok reportedly overtakes YouTube in US average watch time.

In the 1st of two Film/TV segments: (6:15) I'm going to the cinemas for the first time since Parasite, peeping that new "Shang-Chi". But I'm probably in the majority in knowing nothing about "Shang-Chi". So, let's learn about Shang-Chi".

In the 1st of two Life segments: (19:43) It's going to be 20 years of 9/11 this week. And one thing that fascinates me about the monumental event is what the world was like before it.

In the 2nd Life segment: (37:47) I have this screenplay, a post-apocalyptic type thing, set 10 years after a technological apocalypse. So it gasses me that it could actually happen via solar flares.

Lastly, in the 2nd Film/TV segment: (46:08) The death of Michael K. Williams is a brutal blow. An actor that stole every scene he was in, you can tell he put his all into every role. But a conversation about "giving your all" into something like acting gave me pause.
