The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon (1985) is out the cinemas for its 40th anniversary. As a martial arts blaxploitation film, complete with a hermit master, that celebrates Motown, it's got a lot going for it. It's the kind of work I'll be writing about in one part of my new book on wuxia storytelling.
