Heard Tell w/ Andrew Donaldson For 17NOV22

Being Thankful, Rom-Coms, Aussie Handball Scandal & Victoria Politics, w/ Luis Mendez & Mark Burgess

Your Heard Tell for Friday, November 18th, 2022, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by talking thankfulness as a mindset, not just a holiday, and as an important counterpoint to the caterwauling of headlines and narratives. Our guest and movie critic Luis Mendez of the Mendez Movie Report returns to Heard Tell to talk movies, what has happened to the romantic comedy as it’s more Hallmark Christmas and less big box office, Martin Scorcese at 80, reviewing “Bones and All”, and the business of making movies for theaters v streaming. Plus, guest Mark Burgess takes us down under to Australia to talk a netball scandal that crosses a bunch of political and cultural streams , talks the politics and forthcoming election in Victoria, Aussies after COVID-19 lockdowns, and asks host Andrew about the worlds perseption of Austrialia’s COVID response.

All that and more on this Friday edition of Heard Tell.
