Story 1 (00:00:54): In this video, we explore the latest news about Quentin Tarantino's final film, "The Movie Critic." Tarantino is reportedly set to direct the film this fall, with a female lead in a story set in late 1970s Los Angeles. We also discuss the possibility that the film will focus on Pauline Kael, a highly influential movie critic and consultant for Paramount in the late 1970s. Learn more about this exciting project and Tarantino's plans for his future creative endeavors.
Story 2 (00:12:19): Between 1950 and 2002, a study found that nearly 4,000 children were victims of sexual abuse by Catholic clergy, with over 1,000 abused in Pennsylvania alone. In this video, we explore the history of child sexual abuse by Roman Catholic priests and the scandal that rocked the US and the Catholic Church. Discover the shocking facts and figures, including financial settlements exceeding $3 billion and the bankruptcy of eight Catholic dioceses. Learn how church officials followed a "playbook for concealing the truth" and minimized the abuse by using words like "inappropriate contact" instead of "rape." Find out how the revelations led to a "zero tolerance" policy and the largest settlement by any US Catholic diocese in bankruptcy.
Story 3 (00:27:59): Elon Musk is making headlines again, this time for reportedly building a town in Texas for SpaceX and The Boring Company staff to work and live in. Dubbed "Snailbrook," the town is set to feature prefabricated homes, a pool, sports area, gym, and even a potential school. Musk has said he plans to offer the houses at cheaper prices to provide affordable housing for his employees. But as we look at the history of company towns, with the infamous example of Pullman, Illinois, we can't help but wonder: will Musk's vision for a Texas utopia face similar challenges?
