This week on The Knowledge Bar the guys focused on the impact of legacy. First, we dive into Former President Joe Biden’s legacy and discuss how the alleged cover up of his declining health impacts it. Then we’ll move on to Legacy in Hollywood. Are children of stars catching too much or not enough criticism for their status as “nepo-babies”? The conversation wraps with reactions to the Festival de Cannes and what movies have us excited. Listen in!
