Jason Nathanson on Squid game and the Hollywood strike

90-year-old William Shatner blasted into space this morning, reaching the "final frontier" aboard a ship built by Jeff Bezos’ Blue Origin company.  Shatner and three fellow passengers hurtled to an altitude of 66.5 miles (107 kilometers) over the West Texas desert in the fully automated capsule, then safely parachuted back to Earth in a flight that lasted just over 10 minutes.   The blastoff brought priceless star power to Bezos’ spaceship company, given its built-in appeal to baby boomers, celebrity watchers and space enthusiasts. Shatner starred in TV’s original “Star Trek” from 1966 to 1969, back when the U.S. was racing for the moon, and went on to appear in a string of “Star Trek” movies.  “I hope I never recover from this," an emotional Shatner told Bezos after they landed.
