San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria chose to avoid much of what he called “happy talk” in his second State of the City address Wednesday night. Plus, with a new future in discussion for the Midway District, KPBS spoke with Voice of San Diego’s Scott Lewis about the thriving neighborhood that existed in the area in the 1940s. And KPBS’s Amita Sharma reports that Chula Vista is giving a private corporation wide control over data on people collected by police surveillance systems. Also, a county judge has dealt a legal setback to San Diego Unified School District’s effort to mandate vaccines for students 16 and up. Finally, with Joel Coen’s "The Tragedy of Macbeth'' set to stream on Apple TV+, KPBS film critic Beth Accomando spoke with two of the actors to gain insight into what kind of a director Coen is and how he brought the play to the screen.
In ‘The Tragedy of MacBeth,’ Coen is the farthest thing from an idiot, and while every shot is full of nightmarish sound and fury, every carefully-constructed image signifies something.
