In this episode, Hal and Craig discuss colonialism by way of Gillo Pontecorvo's 1966 THE BATTLE OF ALGIERS, an innovative film that delves into Algeria's National Liberation Front and their bloody battles against French colonizers in the 1950s. Discussions also include:

• New movie roundup: MAY DECEMBER, SATAN WANTS YOU, and EILEEN;

• How French Colonialization depicted in Battle of Algiers is an eerie parallel to America's colonial interests in Iraw and Afghanistan;

• Alabama’s exploitation of the labor of incarcerated people;

• Elon Musk's doomed efforts to stand down Swedish labor unions; and

• A really weird garage sale where Craig bought all of Gore Vidal's "Narratives of Empire" books.

In this episode, the first of a three-episode series examining the later career films of Clint Eastwood, Hal and Craig invite Thomas Greene to discuss Eastwood's 2014 jingoistic war film AMERICAN SNIPER. Discussions also include: Clint Eastwood's best performance ever: screaming at a chair at the 2012 RNC; Elon Musk going full mask-off; Craig conquers some personal demons regarding how he rates films on Letterboxd; Thomas gives us some necessary context around the Sunni and Shiite conflict in Iraq; and the return of our favorite game: Did Armond White Like This Movie?

In this episode, Hal and Craig decided to watch a conservative film! We watched RUN HIDE FIGHT, the first narrative feature film distributed by Ben Shapiro (Conservative "intellect", W.A.P. Truther, and All-Star Moron) and his propaganda outfit The Daily Wire. We also discuss the dubious production history of this stupid movie; how most of the Daily Wire's funding coms from fracking billionaires; our favorite "Die Hard on a ____________" films; we fantasy re-cast RUN HIDE FIGHT with Ben Shapiro, Candace Owens, Matt Walsh, and other Daily Wire nincompoops; and we read some truly despicable 2002 commentary from a teenage Ben Shapiro.
