'Strictly Business (Instrumental)' by EPMD - 2020

We are back from our film festival break, and we've taken a look at a heap of goofy and serious news, as we do! Things such as a dumb Brit caught smuggling drugs, Dick Wolf acting like a hemorrhoid, Australia dropping the ball hard with the 'NO' to the Voice referendum. Meta being blamed for young people's mental health, and Tinder saying dating is a "team sport"!!!

THEN, we catch-up with the remaining episodes of 'Still Up' on Apple TV, as well as taking a look at the first two episodes of their new series 'Lessons in Chemistry'!!!

This week:

- Don't sell drugs dummy, especially in foreign countries!!!

- Wolf wanted UPenn to cancel Palestinian literature festival

- Australia votes "No" for Indigenous rights

- Federal lawsuit filed against Meta around young people's mental health

- Is Tinder peddling old rope1?!
