I want to say that toys advertising actual gold seems like something unique to our modern hellscape, but they've probably done it before, or equally ridiculous and borderline scammy promotions.

Patreon supporter Justin's last pick was Bottle Rocket from the 90's and this time we're going 3 decades back to 1963 with The Courtship of Eddie's Father. The Courtship of Eddie's Father, directed by Vincente Minnelli, was a noteworthy project within the family-comedy genre, combining elements of drama and humor to tell a heartfelt story. Based on the novel by Mark Toby, the film starred Glenn Ford as Tom Corbett, a widower struggling to raise his young son Eddie, played by Ronny Howard. The casting of Ronny Howard, already known for his role on "The Andy Griffith Show," brought a natural and endearing quality to the film. The chemistry between Ford and Howard was central to the film's success, as their believable father-son relationship drove the emotional core of the story. Filming took place in various locations around Los Angeles, which provided an authentic backdrop for the characters' lives. Minnelli's direction emphasized the subtleties of familial bonds and the complexities of single parenthood. The production also benefited from a strong supporting cast, including Shirley Jones and Stella Stevens, who played potential love interests for Ford's character. The film's balance of lighthearted moments with more serious themes of loss and moving on resonated with audiences, making it a box office success.

Drones, missiles, and gunfire from Houthi rebels are sending ships on costly and time consuming detours around Africa.

India has emerged as the hot, new growth opportunity for global investors. It's the world's most populous country, and largest democracy. It's home to a demographic swath of 600 million people younger than 30, and a booming economy growing by 7-8% a year. India's energy and opportunity have made it a magnet for foreign capital, leaving many convinced that the highest-quality growth is yet to come. But is India's growth story the real deal? Is it at a tipping point too promising to ignore? Or is it just a diversification play for investors seeking to hedge their stakes in China? Veteran emerging markets investor Mark Mobius, founder of Mobius Capital Partners, talks to Asia Centric's John Lee and Tom Corbett from Chennai, and he reveals why he's excited enough about India to make a big bet on its economic future.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

US-led sanctions on Chinese tech firms were meant to put a barrier between China and the cutting-edge of smartphone know-how. Little wonder, then, that Huawei drew a collective gasp when it revealed its new smartphone -- the Mate 60 Pro -- is powered by a homegrown, China-made processor. Almost overnight, the world woke up to the reality that China's tech savvy was more advanced than many believed, giving global tensions a new sense of urgency. Where does the U.S.-China relationship go from here? And how might it shape fortunes at Apple, which has an outsized investment stake in China?

India's homegrown tycoon, billionaire Gautam Adani, went from an Asian business success story to an embattled corporate titan almost overnight, shaken by a bombshell research report that thrust his sprawling conglomerate, Adani Group, into full damage-control mode.
