  • Two Weeks Notice (2002)
    Jul 7 2026

    Something a little lighter this week for everyone. Evan, Ward and Bill discuss the 2002 rom-com "Two Weeks Notice." Starring Sandra Bullock at the height of her popularity alongside Hugh Grant, with appearances by Alicia Witt, Dana Ivey, Robert Klein and Heather Burns this is the tale of a "radical leftist" who joins a corporate real estate conglomerate and helps them destroy neighborhoods and ruin lives all because a bumbling oaf of a pretty boy charmed her into his limo. Seriously, at least one of the hosts may have some fondness for this film but it is the height of capitalist propaganda, whitewashing of the oligarchy and depictions of anyone with a moral backbone as a grandstanding performance artist more than willing to abandon all principles when offered a low fat muffin basket, a generous Christmas bonus, and a corner office.

    Also, Evan claims that the 1950s were the height of the romantic comedy as a genre.

  • {July 4th Special} The Patriot (2000)
    Jul 2 2026

    Buckle up folks as we delve into the three hour bedtime story for the US, 2000's "The Patriot." Starring Mel Gibson, Heath Ledger, Joely Richardson, Jason Isaacs, Chris Cooper, Tcheky Karyo, Rene Auberjonois and Tom Wilkinson alongside many more, this $110 million dollar "historical war film" tells a very special version of the Revolutionary war that makes the fever dreams of Ben Shapiro seem more realistic. One of the rare movies we implore listeners to not watch prior to listening, join us as we discuss the film's loose grasp on reality, the propaganda of films like this, the review scandal, and the hate gremlin that lives behind Mel Gibson's eyes.
