McGregor & Mayweather, Deathnote, & Game of Thrones Finale

We start this podcast with a quick report on the McGregor-Mayweather match which leads to a deep rant about combat sports and spectator sports in general. Vy and Ali tease Diz about his obsession. We turn to the release of Deathnote and why it was panned by most watchers, fans, and critics alike. We discuss the reasons why Hollywood feels the need to adapt foreign movies in the age of globalization. We push back on the traditional logic and explore the cultural implications of whitewashing. Finally we end the episode by checking our earlier predictions of Game of Thrones and review the season.
