Ep.112 - "Fuck BHM" & Tory Cronyism
On Ep.112 of WG: Awards SZN is back, a fascinating commentary on Black History Month, UK Film & TV funding has dropped significantly, and the Conservatives have used COVID to line their friend's pockets.
In a week where:
- Actor Christopher Plummer dies aged 91
- Former Heavyweight Champion Boxer Leon Spinks dies aged 67.
- Queen Elizabeth successfully lobbied the government to change a draft law in order to conceal her “embarrassing” private wealth from the public.
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat the Kansas City Chiefs in SB55.
- Mary Wilson, a founding member of The Supremes, dies aged 76.
In the first of two Film/TV segments: (7:05) Awards SZN is back and as a former rabid consumer of it all, I've grown tired of people moaning about snubs.
In the first of two Life segments: (25:59) It's Black History Month in the US and the usual stuff has gone on all February. But I have an interesting commentary on the whole thing that should definitely be debated.
In the 2nd Film/TV segment: (46:34) Some new figures have shown that money spent on UK Film & TV production has dropped by 21% in 2020. This year is critical in how the industry responds.
In the last & 2nd Life segment: (56:31) The Conservatives have participated in severe Cronyism all throughout the pandemic. And names need to be put in lights.
