Ep.29 - Anthony Joshua, Chernobyl & RIP iTunes
Episode 29 of "What's Good?" is all about Anthony Joshua taking his first L, John Cleese being "peak white man", iTunes dying & wondering if "Chernobyl" is any good.
Happy Pride Month everyone!
In a week where:
- EE rolls out 5G Networks in the UK.
- Trump & the family visit the UK.
- Caster Semenya wins her Swiss Court appeal to temporarily suspend the new "Semenya Rule".
- A Stanford study shows that Islamaphobia has dropped 19% in Liverpool & 50% in anti-muslim tweets since Mo Salah joined.
- And a study shows that 25 cups of coffee a day is safe for heart health. (25 cups of anything surely isn't good for your health.)
We start with Sports (3:51) where Anthony Joshua took his first L in professional boxing, by a dude that eats steak and a BAR OF SNICKERS BEFORE HE FIGHTS. Jokes aside, big ups to Andy Ruiz Jr. I didn't watch the fight but I certainly caught the memes the next day and they were glorious. Consider my TV attendance to the next fight sorted, whether it's in Mexico, LA, NY or London.
In the Life segment (15:00) John Cleese has been on the wire, talking in "peak white man" fashion. He has talked about London not being "how it used to be" and has now doubled down on his thoughts, citing one Californian friend that asked him where are the English people?
We all know what this means and it's not just Cleese perpetuating this toxic language, our politicians have done it for decades.
For Film/TV (34:30) "Chernobyl" a limited series by HBO & Sky has recently ended holds the top spot in the IMDB audience ratings. I haven't seen it but it must be at least half decent if it managed to pip shows like Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones and everything David Attenborough touches right?
And for Music, (45:30) Apple has recently announced that they're killing iTunes and basically is replacing it with three specialist apps. This is symbolic in name only but is a bad omen for things to come as it pertains to artist income. Someday, Apple will stop doing digital downloads, which will be great for places like Bandcamp but terrible for the majority of artists that rely on digital downloads as a healthy part of their income.
