{July 4th Special} The Patriot (2000)

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.
