J.G. and I discuss Judd Nelson's horror thriller series; Relentless. I think the first film might be his best work (I also think he's quite underrated in the made for television, "Billionaire Boys Club"). Following the show, we'll be going into the Champagne Room to check out the original "Relentless" from 1989!

In 1971, months out of high school, Witney Schneidman found himself at a secondary school in Mbarara, Uganda listening on the radio as Idi Amin announced his takeover the country. He soon understood that Africa was a continent of sweeping change-colonialism was ending, independence was on the march, and liberation movements were fighting tall odds to end white rule in Southern Africa- and he made the decision to dedicate his life to fostering strong ties between the United States and African nations.

In June 2024, protests erupted in Kenya that nearly toppled the government. At least, it surely felt like we might overthrow President William Ruto, who had long been a favorite partner of major Western powers and international investors on the African continent.
