Ever wondered about the politics present or perceived in your favorite movies? Well, this might just be the place for you. We talk about it all, what worked and what didn't and our own personal takes. Hosted by Mike and joined by a variety of friends and movie lovers, we try to work out what might've been intentional, what might not have been and occasionally our own silly readings that have nothing to do with anything. (SPOILERS AHEAD)
