Ep.255 - Farage, Palantir & The Marvels

"What's Good?" W/ Charlie Taylor

In a week where:

1. Israel & Hamas agree on a four-day ceasefire & hostage releases.
2. Dublin is set ablaze after three children & one woman are stabbed.
3. Oscar Pistorius is granted parole from January, nearly 11 years after murdering girlfriend.
4. Jean Knight, singer best known for the classic 1971 hit “Mr. Big Stuff,” dies aged 80.
5. Young Thug's RICO trial begins.

In Politics: (11:50) Farage has received £1.5m to appear on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity … Get Me Out of Here! with Ant and Dec. After everything he has done, he gets the opportunity to humanise himself.

In Health: (23:49) A big existential crisis the UK is having is the state of the NHS and with the recent £500M deal with former military/spyware company Palantir, I feel like the NHS as we know it is dead.

In Life: (34:28) Even though Suella Braverman is out as Home Secretary, I felt the need to find a piece that explains the spiral of being homeless. What better than a first-hand account.

Lastly, in Film: (48:50) The film nerds are back out of their holes to claim Marvel is dead after the poor showing of The Marvels. Whilst I don't care about the monetary wellbeing of a multi-million $ studio, I do care about filmmakers getting thrown under the bus. Burn the table.
