Ep.142 - Shang-Chi, 9/11 & Michael K. Williams
On Ep.142 of WG: I'm going to the cinemas for the first time in over a year, 9/11 turns 20, one of my screenplays could become reality; and the death of Michael K. Williams.
In a week where:
- WhatsApp is fined $266 Million Over Data Transparency Breaches.
- Hurricane Ida floods New York & New Jersey.
- Texas effectively make abortion illegal with the green light from US Supreme Court.
- Girls Aloud singer Sarah Harding dies aged 39 from breast cancer.
- 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.
