LOL); Can you trust Trump's Space Force?; Westworld wraps up S2 and we have theories!;  thoughts about WH Press Secretary, Sarah Huckabee Sanders recent refusal of service at a Red Hen restaurant because of the owner's feelings about her boss and her complicity in promoting POTUS' political agenda;  Netflix recreated the famed "Great Day in Harlem gathering with Black actors versus the original Jazz artists in '58;  highlighting the Blackstar Warrior film short on Brown Sugar (the "Black Netflix") ; And lastly, just what was the deal with a Netflix' executive usage of the N-word (twice) and his eventual firing?  Call in LIVE at 646-915-9620.
