Hello again, dear listeners! Thanks to Michael for suggesting that we cover the 2004 Gavin O'Connor film Miracle, starring Kurt Russell and Patricia Clarkson, which we've done this episode! This was a fun one to cover, so we hope you enjoy it!

Hello again, dear listeners! 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. Spoiler alert: it's not very historically accurate - shocker! We hope you enjoy, and check out What Were We Watching? for more discussions of the nostalgic movies and TV shows from our childhood and adolescence (AKA the 90s and early 2000s)!

Hello again, dear listeners! We're very sorry for the long wait between our last episode and this one! Life got in the way pretty hard for us at the end of 2018, but you know what they say, "New Year, Renewed Commitment To Your Podcast," so here we are, ready to come at you with some new episodes! This episode, we're discussing the 2017 film The Zookeeper's Wife, starring Jessica Chastain and directed by Niki Caro. It's...not exactly a fun romp, but it is a good film that made for an interesting chat, so we hope you enjoy it! And thanks to our listener Ariel for suggesting it to us! If any of you have suggestions for films you think we should cover, please let us know at lieographypodcast@gmail.com!
