    #24 - Why are Argentina’s universities boiling over?

    S1:E24

    President Javier Milei’s proposed austerity measures would sharply cut university budgets and impose tighter fiscal controls, prompting hundreds of thousands of students and faculty to protest nationwide.

Supporters argue the measures are needed to rein in public spending and reform an inefficient system. The protests reflect deep fears about budgetary squeeze, potential layoffs and the long‑term impact on educational quality and social mobility.

    #25 - Why are there no Netflix films at Cannes?

    S1:E25

    Cannes requires films in competition to have theatrical distribution in France, a condition tied to strict local rules on release windows that limit when films can appear on streaming platforms. Netflix typically prefers global or near‑simultaneous streaming releases, so it often declines Cannes’ theatrical-distribution requirement. The result: Netflix titles are usually absent from the festival’s main competition.
