THE PATRIOT
Episode 364
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Celebrate July 4th and America's 250th anniversary with one of the most jingoistic films depicting the American Revolutionary War, The Patriot! In this episode, we talk about putting the fiction in historical fiction, ponder whether Mel Gibson was right for the job, and feel perplexed about the racial discussion or lack thereof in the film. We're also drinking a patriotic Big Sipz, the 'Merican flavor, weighing in at 16%! Apologies if things get a bit messy.
