Ep.192 - Sacheen Littlefeather & "Critic-Influencers"
On Ep.192 of WG: Sacheen Littlefeather, Critic-Influencers, Billionaire Jets & Being Uptight.
In a week where:
- Parts of the UK goes into a drought.
- Writer Salman Rushdie is stabbed on stage in New York.
- David Bowie tops a Sky Arts list of Britain's 50 most influential artists of the last 50 years.
- The UK is the first country to approve a new COVID booster that targets both the original virus as well as the Omicron variants.
- Liz Cheney gets clapped in her Republican Primary.
In Film/TV: (8:13) Nearly 50 years ago, activist Sacheen Littlefeather went to the Oscars on behalf of Marlon Brando and refused his Oscar win. It's only until now that AMPAS finally gave a formal apology.
In The Arts: (20:18) Critics are an essential cog to the watch of Art; but what happens when critics become influencers in the modern sense? Are they even critics at that point?
In the 1st of two Society segments: (33:35) It's time to talk billionaires again! This time, we talk private jets and how that's yet another reason for billionaires to cease (financial) existence.
Lastly, in the 2nd Society segment: (47:41) Depending on how travelled you are, you may have been to a place with different customs to you. One of those intersections is 'loose' and 'tight' countries.
