EFTV - 167: We're Back!!! - a podcast by Kevin Scott

#EFTV is back for that weekly rotation (most likely), and craziness continues to inhabit the world. Which is good, cause what else would we talk about lol     A death on a set clearly shows something unfortunate happened. But instead of acknowledging it and saying things have been upped, Alec Baldwin is scrambling to try and show that everything on 'Rust' was absolutely fine.   People complaining about freedoms should take note, cause Indian people who congratulated or celebrated Pakistan's victory in the ICC T20 World Cup are getting thrown in jail and maybe tortured!   Terry Gilliam's was due to co-produce a new production of 'Into the Woods' for the Old Vic in 2022. But some weak arse staff were unhappy with Gilliam having his own opinion on certain topics, so complained and got the show cancelled!    Instead of using a portrait of   Thomas Picton as a way to look at history and changes of attitude, they lock it away and pretend things never happened!!!    After Norway's Handball team were fined by the International Handball Federation (IHF) for refusing to wear bikini bottoms, many demanded changes but the IHF refused. Now though, in the latest rules update, a change has been made with no fanfare or apology, cause the IHF are a bunch of cowardly fukwits, who need to issue Norway with a refund cheque!!!

PLUS, we head over to Netflix for what has turned into a smash hit, 'Squid Game' written & directed by Hwang Dong-Hyuk. 456 down-and-outs take a shady offer to compete for ₩45.6 billion, which would clear their debuts!

AND, our 'Audible' book of the week, is the classic interstellar, feudal adventure that redefined sci-fi and most likely literature, forever! That's right people, we got into Frank Herbert's 'Dune'!

This Week:

- Alec Baldwin is desperately trying to claim that the set of his film 'Rust' was completely safe!?!

- Indian fans who celebrated Pakistan's victory in the ICC T20 World Cup are being arrested!?!

- The Old Vic cancel Terry Gilliam's upcoming production of 'Into the Woods' because of staff unease

-  Cardiff museum kowtow to a few staff, and box up their picture of Thomas Picton due to slave owner past

- The International Handball Federation (IHF) changes rules on women's uniforms, in the most spineless ways!!!
