Today we visit with Rob Reiner & Soledad O'Brein. Who Killed JFK? For 60 years, we are still asking that question. In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy's tragic assassination, legendary filmmaker Rob Reiner teams up with award-winning journalist Soledad O'Brien to tell the history of America's greatest murder mystery. They interview CIA officials, medical experts, Pulitzer-prize winning journalists, eyewitnesses and a former Secret Service agent who, in 2023, came forward with groundbreaking new evidence. They dig deep into the layers of the 60-year-old question 'Who Killed JFK?', how that question has shaped America, and why it matters that we're still asking it today. LISTEN NOW - Who Killed JFK

It seems that many of us are delaying our holiday shopping this year, in hopes of scoring better deals later on. A survey of 2,000 adults in the US found that almost everyone (97%) has plans to holiday shop, but nearly half (47%) haven’t started yet. And of those who haven’t finished their holiday shopping, 8 in 10 are waiting for better bargains. And what kind of bargains are people hoping for? In the OnePoll survey, 64% of respondents said interest-free promotions that allow them to pay over time with no late or hidden fees would be an ideal incentive. Discounts and sales (54%) and buy now, pay later (54%) were tied as the next most desired options. 75% of consumers indicated they plan to spend the same amount or more than they did last year.

Would
you deactivate your TikTok for a month if you were paid $59? What
about Instagram? Would $47 cut it? In a study, the National Bureau of
Economics Research found that social-media users would be willing to
break their scrolling habits on these platforms – for a fee. The
report says that users would “require (that) substantial
compensation to stop using social media when others in their network
keep using it.” Interestingly, the same study found that users
would be willing to PAY $28 and $10 to have their friends, and
themselves, all deactivate TikTok and Instagram, respectively. The
researchers say that’s a sign that social media could be a “product
market trap”.

Don’t expect to see Jack Nicholson pop up in a movie anytime soon. He’s enjoying retirement too much, says his longtime pal, Lou Adler. On the “WTF With Marc Maron” podcast, the music and film producer said that Nicholson, who is 86, recently turned down a role, because he’s simply “doing whatever he wants to do…He wants to be quiet, he wants to eat what he wants, he wants to live the life he wants.”
Gordon Ramsay has become a dad for the 6th time. The TV chef – who has been married to Tana Ramsay since 1996 and celebrated his 57th birthday last week, took to social media on Saturday to announce the birth of his new son – and, it would seem, his last child. He shared pics, and wrote on Instagram: “What an amazing birthday present please welcome Jesse James Ramsay, 7lbs 10oz whopper!! One more bundle of love to the Ramsay brigade!! 3 boys, 3 girls…. Done”. LINK: https://tinyurl.com/3ahmm253
“The Marvels” has set a new record for the worst opening weekend in the history of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, according to the latest projections. The sequel to 2019’s “Captain Marvel” posted an anemic $21.3 million Friday total, for an estimated $48 million domestic launch. For comparison, The Marvels has fallen below even the $55 million opening earned in the summer by DC’s “The Flash,” which went on to gross just $270 million, and is regarded as one of — if not THE biggest box office bomb of 2023.

Even though 2023 has been, for many, a tough year, “hope does remain.” That’s what Prince William said last week, as he announced the winners of the 2023 Earthshot Prize, a competition he launched to help find solutions to environmental problems. Five eco innovators were awarded 1 million pounds each to develop their ideas at a star-studded event in Singapore. Winners included a firm making batteries for electric vehicles using easier-to-recycle components, a community initiative protecting Andean forests, a scheme helping farmers to cut food waste, a non-profit with a plan to support the planet’s ocean conservation needs, and a team with a plan for removing emissions and boosting farmer profits and land restoration. Prince William called the recipients “architects of change towards a healthy and sustainable world.”
