Black History and the recent Gun Violence

We start with Black History month and the Black Panther movie. Then we speak to this week senseless shooting in a school and we get into the conversation again with Gun control and mental health.  And the dangers of arming teachers and other nonsense.   

  

State of the Union and Political Media outlets

The Team gets together to finish off our discussion about the democrats failure to bring a message to everyone about our country going forward.  We debate how we get our news and attempt to understand how we as a nation can get pass ignorance and stupidity.

 

The Post

For our round of Oscar nominated fits for this year.  We stop and go see The Post directed by Steven Spielberg.  You may or may not know but we know what to expect from a vanilla based, safe directing movie Spielberg always makes.  But based on the conditions of today we looked forward to seeing a nonfictional adaptation.

The Post is a thrilling drama about the unlikely partnership between The Washington Post's Katharine Graham (Streep), the first female publisher of a major American newspaper, and editor Ben Bradlee (Hanks), as they race to catch up with The New York Times to expose a massive cover-up of government secrets that spanned three decades and four U.S. Presidents. The two must overcome their differences as they risk their careers - and their very freedom - to help bring long-buried truths to light

Darkest Hour

This episode we sit down and watch the historic drama of Winston Churchill during miserly years as the Prime minister Of Great Britain.  So this is nothing that we didn't know about based on the many TV shows and the great movie Dunkirk by Christopher Nolan.  Here's our short review. 

 

During the early days of World War II, with the fall of France imminent, Britain faces its darkest hour as the threat of invasion looms. As the seemingly unstoppable Nazi forces advance, and with the Allied army cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk, the fate of Western Europe hangs on the leadership of the newly-appointed British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (Academy Award nominee Gary Oldman). While maneuvering his political rivals, he must confront the ultimate choice: negotiate with Hitler and save the British people at a terrible cost or rally the nation and fight on against incredible odds.

Immigration, Tax Bill, The memo and The Stock Market question

The team gets together and discuss the second potential government shut down, the immigration issue  that seems to not have an immediate compromise for.  We touch the options of moving out of the US and the consequences.  

 

 

Black Panther Movie (Marvel)

 Tonight Alicia and I go out on the premier night of the Black Panther Marvel Movie.  Sitting in the theater, it was a historic feeling and highly enjoyable experience.  Based on the reviews and the many trailers that showed half of the movie.  It was well worth it.

T'Challa, after the death of his father, the King of Wakanda, returns home to the isolated, technologically advanced African nation to succeed to the throne and take his rightful place as king. While maintaining the the title of The Black Panther.

The Government shutdown 2018 /Rethink the 2020 election

Tonight we really get into the most spineless unnecessary actions the democrats have done in quite some time.  Shutting down the government and opening it with nothing in hand to negotiate with. also the numerous political shenanigans in one freakin week. including the deputy FBI director stepping down and a reckless memo the congress voted to release.

Political predictions and the Politics of the Grammys

Here's our recap of the predictions and our input of the Grammys politics and is Hip Hop/Rap really getting shunned as being a competing genre in Music? Is China secretly trying to be the world power? Is prostitution  the viable choice for weird dudes being charged for sexual abuse.  And damn did you see look on Jay Z face at the grammys?
