Ep.39 - Jay-Z, Jeffrey Epstien & Spider-Man
On Ep.39 of "What's Good?" - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar speaks on Tarantino's depiction of Bruce Lee, Jay-Z does a deal with the NFL, Spider-Man is no longer in the MCU & the Jeffrey Epstein saga stays sus.
In a week where:
- Boris Johnson & EU butt heads again.
- Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" No.1 streak is over.
- Home Secretary Priti Patel plans to end Freedom of Movement completely on Oct 31st.
- Keanu Reeves set to return for The Matrix 4.
- The Amazon Rainforest is *literally* on fire.
In the 1st of two Film/TV segments: (14:26) Spider-Man is out of the MCU after Marvel & Sony couldn't land a deal to have Spider-Man in Marvel/Disney films. This is terrible for Marvel as they clearly wanted their most ubiquitous character to be present in future projects, but it's quite possible that Marvel/Disney dropped this news to pressure Sony. Time will tell if they find a deal or Sony takes it all back and bottles it again.
In Life: (27:30) The US is still scratching their head over the death of Jeffrey Epstein, who was in jail & awaiting trial for sexual abuse and underage sex trafficking. The initial reports said suicide but conspiracy theories are all over the place. Everything is being questioned as it pertains to Jeffrey Epstein but in the middle of all of it are survivors that don't get to see the criminal go down.
In the 2nd Film/TV segment: (41:47) People have been talking about Quentin Tarantino's new film "Once Upon A Time In Hollywood". But it's not all been positive. One scene, in particular, has gotten people riled up. Specifically, a scene where Bruce Lee is depicted in a not-so-flattering light. His friend (& my GOAT) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar hops in and discusses the issue & context.
Lastly, in the Sports segment: (53:29) Jay-Z and RocNation have created a partnership with the NFL and it has cut people in half. This shouldn't be a Kaepernick vs Jay thing. It should be "Let's all wait to see if Jay can cash the check that his mouth has written" as it pertains to Social Justice in America and getting the NFL to fix up.
