Ep.151 - Robert Sarver, The Eternals & Google Maps

On Ep.151 of WG: Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver, one more thought on "The Harder They Fall", "The Eternals" and using real-life tragedy, and Google Maps is a low-key time machine.
In a week where:
  1. MP Owen Patterson resigns as Tories fling democracy under the bus.
  2. Eight people die at Travis Scott's Astro World concert. 
  3. The 'maxi trial' of the 'Ndrangheta in Italy continues as 70 mobsters are convicted.
  4. UB40 founding member Terrence "Astro" Wilson dies aged 64.
  5. Over 300 climate demonstrations go down across the world as COP26 continues.
In Sports: (8:59) A report on Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver has dropped and whilst there's no "smoking gun", boy is there a fuck-ton of smoke.

In the 1st of two Film/TV segments: (23:10) I watched "The Harder They Fall" once again, this time on Netflix. And whilst I can confidently say I love the film, I can't ever recommend the film without flagging up one major error in the casting department.

In the 2nd Film/TV segment: (39:19) I also saw "The Eternals" in the past week. Mixed reviews aside, it's worth having a conversation on films that use real-life tragedies as pathos.

Lastly, in Life: (52:31) If you haven't been on Google Maps recently, you may not be aware of a time machine feature they have which, depending on where you are, can really show the changes in life in the 21st Century.
