  • Summary

  • The boys are joined by writer Séamus Malekafzali, who's too young to remember 9/11 but old enough to stand face-to-face with director Peter Berg and challenge him to a blinking contest. Séamus, Evan and Jack take on Lone Survivor, Berg's 2013 sufferpalooza, which heavily fictionalizes a real-life and extremely unsuccessful Navy SEAL counterterrorism raid in Afghanistan in 2005. The boys examine Berg's Americana fetish, how the Friday Night Lights creator valorizes combat as a form of extreme sports, and the way Lone Survivor — like many a GWOT film — lies about what happened to create false stakes for its characters.
