Hello dear listeners, and happy (belated) new year! Very sorry once again for the unplanned hiatus, but here we are, back with an all new episode! This time, we're discussing the 2015 Simon Curtis film Woman In Gold, starring Ryan Reynolds, Helen Mirren, and Tatiana Maslany, in which the biopic trifecta of the Holocaust, the Supreme Court, and art/music history come together to create the ultimate biopic bingo winner! We hope you enjoy!

This episode, in honor of American Independence Day, we bring you a cross-over episode with the podcast What Were We Watching? about the 2000 Roland Emmerich film The Patriot, starring Mel Gibson.

Hello there, dear listeners! Your illustrious hosts have unfortunately had a bit of a busy January that led us to have some difficulty getting in the same room to record our latest episode on The Post, but fear not! In the mean time, we're re-releasing our episode on All The President's Men that originally aired August 6, 2017, as it is a great primer for a bunch of what we'll be talking about with The Post. And we'll be back in two weeks for an all new episode! See you then, and we hope you enjoy this classic episode!
---------
Join us as we discuss the 1976 Alan J. Pakula film All The President's Men, about intrepid journalists Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein and their quest to uncover the truth about the Watergate story that eventually took down President Richard Nixon, which definitely has NO relevancy to anything happening in the United States today... We also get into some hard-hitting present-day political commentary! We hope you enjoy!
