    S1E67: Batgirl cancelled, drama with The Flash aka Ezra Miller in DC's Extended Universe Aug 15, 2022
    Show notes

    Synopsis: Each month, The Straits Times examines the ins and outs of pop culture in the Asian entertainment and Hollywood scene.

    In this episode of #PopVultures, host Jan Lee looks at the shocking news coming out of Warner Bros. Discovery - that the close-to-completed films Batgirl starring Leslie Grace and the animated Scooby-Doo movie Scoob!: Holiday Haunt will be cancelled entirely and will not be released in theatres or via streaming.

    In the background of these cancellations is the disturbing news surrounding The Flash's actor Ezra Miller. While Batgirl may be cancelled, The Flash is still slated for a 2023 release despite its lead - Miller - having multiple legal problems. The 29-year-old has been arrested for disorderly conduct, harassment, burglary, assault and has even been accused of sexually grooming a teenager.

    Jan Lee talks about the behind-the-scenes shake-ups at Warner Bros. Discovery and what the news means for the extended cinematic universe of the DC Comics superheroes.

    Highlights (tap/click above):

    0:26 What is going on at Warner Bros. Discovery

    0:39 The cancellation of Batgirl and Scoob!: Holiday Haunt

    1:37 The quiet removal of select titles from Warner Bros. Discovery's streaming service HBO Max

    2:52 The possible rationale behind these decisions

    13:42 The troubling implication of films and television shows disappearing from streaming platforms

    19:40 The DC extended cinematic universe's new ten-year strategy and why it might not work as well

    23:40 All the Ezra Miller drama and how it makes Warner Bros. Discovery look hypocritical

    S1E18: Self-medicating for Covid-19 fueling over-the-counter medicine shortage Aug 15, 2022
    Show notes

    Synopsis: The Straits Times analyses Singapore's latest news and announcements in this weekly podcast.

    The Straits Times' Zakir Hussain, Singapore editor at The Straits Times, speaks with Money FM 89.3's Timothy Goh and Bharati Jagdish.

    Some over-the-counter medicine to treat fever, cough and cold are in short supply at pharmacies here, as more Covid-19 patients opt to self-medicate.

    Checks by The Straits Times found that several pharmacies, including Watsons and Guardian, are running low on Panadol Cough & Cold and Decolgen - which are used to relieve symptoms brought about by a cold or flu.

    In this week's episode, the team discusses the severity of this shortage and when we can expect supplies of common medications to recover and stabilise.

    S1E83: How to truly value nature Aug 14, 2022
    Show notes

    Synopsis: Every first and third Monday of the month, The Straits Times analyses the beat of the changing environment, from biodiversity conservation to climate change.

    If you look at a stretch of rainforest, how do you measure its true value? Is it for the timber in the trees, the medicines in the roots and bark, the water stored in its soils or for its ability to absorb carbon dioxide? A local villager might value it more for its cultural or spiritual worth or for the animals that provide food. A palm oil plantation developer might value the land the forest stands on.

    Scientists tell us that nature provides benefits to people worth trillions of dollars a year, from the air we breathe to the soils we grow our food in. But it really depends on your perspective. And that’s the challenge in trying to put a value on nature. The more humanity destroys nature, the greater the threat to our existence.

    Recently, the United Nations’ science advisory panel for biodiversity, known as IPBES, looked at this complex issue and found dozens of ways to measure the value of nature. The report came up with guidelines for policymakers. It found that putting a narrow economic value on nature is one of the key reasons behind the loss and damage to the world’s ecosystems.

    In this episode, The Straits Times’ environment correspondent Audrey Tan and climate change editor David Fogarty discuss nature valuation with Dr Michael Christie, Professor of Environmental and Ecological Economics at Aberystwyth University in Wales, who is one of the co-chairs of the report.

    Highlights (click/tap above):

    1:33 Examples of nature's value?

    4:46 Why is it important to consider different ways to value nature?

    7:20 Main recommendations of the IPBES report

    12:24 How to manage conflicts over developments such as building a wind farm that might harm local wildlife?

    15:13 Best ways for city-dwellers to connect with nature
