Nina Simone, James Baldwin and David Hockney were among his topics, as he continued to show off about being present at modern historical flashpoints.

SS's HoN
3 - The Price of Plenty
How Charlie Chaplin fell foul of the HUAC, how Ayn Rand became idiotically popular, and how Rachel Carson tried to warn everyone else.

Django & Django
Quentin Tarantino, mainly, helps discuss the films of Sergio Corbucci, whom he calls the 2nd greatest Italian spaghetti western director.
