We discuss Ken Loach's brilliant war epic The Wind That Shakes The Barley in an unintentionally relevant episode. Plus: Jackson takes a pop quiz.

Cody joins us again to talk Spaghetti Westerns and the ways they channel both Italian and US politics of the 1960s and 70s.

In part 1 of our miniseries on Westerns we discuss a trio of movies with varying degrees of Hollywood Blacklist connections with our friend and first guest, Cody Severtson.

We discuss Jay Roach's Trumbo (2015), a pretty ok biopic about blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. We also talk about a few much shittier movies about the blacklist, including The Front (1976), Guilty by Suspicion (1991), and Good Night and Good Luck (2005).

We talk Gerard Johnstone's delightful horror-comedy M3GAN as well as Ex Machina, Black Mirror, and Blade Runner in a jumbo-sized ep about how much AI sucks.
