159. Big Tech Trouble in China

(This is part 1 of a 2-part episode)

Monday's Supreme Court oral arguments for the affirmative action cases involving Harvard and UNC presented no surprises, almost ensuring a victory for the SFFA's Asian American plaintiffs. But the consequences of this victory go far beyond Asian students and college admissions: this could be a twin of the Dobbs case overturning Roe v. Wade and resetting the foundations of Constitutional interpretation. Eliza, Jess, and Teen try to dive into the deeper meaning behind this court case.

Ben Affleck's AIR (2023) chronicles the wheeling and dealing that led to Michael Jordan signing with Nike, and this unabashed celebration of the world's most famous shoe brand positions the Air Jordan as a victory for trickle-down economics. We discuss the movie that asks the question: "What if you made The Social Network about people who were frickin epic??"

#418 - Of Shoes and Men

Dimitri begins an x-ray examination of the first months of the Liberian Civil War, including: President Samuel Doe’s reaction to that Charles Taylor virus, the most fucked up episode of the West Wing ever starring the sus Kissingerians running George Bush’s NSC, Bob Gates telling Herman Cohen to stand down, Emmanuel Bowier’s shocking testimony, Larry Eagleburger’s sicko predictions, DAVID CHARLES MILLER and Ollie North’s shredder, US embassy political officer CHARLES GURNEY’S sinister b-plot, the surreal horror of The Checkpoint, and the mass weaponization of juju. Part one of two.

*UNLOCKED* [#139a] DEMON FORCES IV, Part One: Here Comes Dead Body Trouble (1989-90)

Quentin Tarantino's ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD (2019) hit the zeitgeist by consciously going against the 2019-era cultural grain. Tarantino looks back on the winds of change that greeted the movie business in the late 1960s and lands firmly - but not uncomplicatedly - on the side of the old guard. PLUS: Bluesky vs Twitter, wrapping up the Toronto mayoral election, and checking in on a man by the name of Lights Camera Jackson.
