Show Notes
Edgar B. Herwick III, Callie Crossley and James Bennett II co-host our arts and culture week in review.
First up, reconstructing the Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese feud timeline, focusing on how the media are fanning the flames and how outside commentary about race is making this an ugly rivalry.
From there it’s an analysis of another feud, Bruce Springsteen versus President Trump. Springsteen has been criticizing the Trump administration while on tour and the president is retaliating on social media.
Then we raise a glass to actor George Wendt who was best known for his portrayal of Norm Peterson, a regular at the bar Cheers and on the eponymous hit sit-com.
Finally, “Mission Impossible: A Final Reckoning” hits theaters. Are we ready to say goodbye to this blockbuster franchise?
