You know what they say. War is hell. But this podcast isn’t! Well, we don’t think so anyway. But if you’re a miserable little twat who spends his free time posting nonsensical reviews of movie podcasts on the Apple Podcasts app, you might think it’s hell. But even then…chill dawg, it’s not that serious. This is fun! We’re here to have a good time! Is this movie a good time, though? Should it be? Should it even exist? Should America exist? All valid questions, some of which will be answered in our review of Alex Garland’s new movie, “Civil War”. Get into it.

First of all, if you’re confused why we’re reviewing Schindler’s List, go back and listen to the last episode you jabroni. Okay, all caught up now? Travis won our Oscars wager, and as reward he got to choose a past Best Picture winner for us to watch and discuss. Travis being the happy go lucky guy he is, he went with the 1993 Steven (Stephen? No, I think it’s Steven. Don’t care enough to Google it, hopefully I’m right) Spielberg Holocaust drama. So, how does it hold up 30+ years later? Very lively discussion for this one, and be sure to stick around to get caught up on what else we’ve been watching since you last heard from us.
