Ep.163 - Bel-Air, Free Speech & Music Tastes
On Ep.163 of WG: "Bel-Air", Free Speech, Decolonisation and what music tastes say about you.
In a week where:
- Dame Cressida Dick resigns as Metropolitan Police Commissioner.
- Russia & US evacuate diplomats from Ukraine.
- LA Rams win SuperBowl 56.
- Russian ice dancer Kamila Valieva is cleared to continue competing after failing a drug test.
- Andrew & Virginia Giuffre reach a settlement over sexual abuse claims.
In Film/TV: (8:38) "Bel-Air", the dramatic reboot of the comedy classic "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" has come through after originating as a viral short. Is "Bel-Air" the future of the TV reboot?
In Society: (21:26) The concept of free speech is still something that is hard to grasp at times, but like most things, you can learn from history. So let's take a trip to 17th Century Britain.
In Race & Society: (31:39) The term "decolonisation" is one of those buzzwords that people love blowing up about without actually looking into it. But was it ever part of the "culture war"?
Lastly, in Music: (49:56) We've heard it before, "you look like a person that listens to...". We always see our tastes in music as an extension of ourselves. But some say your music tastes actually say nothing about you.
