Want to watch the whole movie from beginning to end with your friends commenting and discussing, roasting it and maybe crying a little the whole time? Well you’re in luck! Recorded last year, we’re releasing this episode now for free for everyone, in the spirit of freedom this Independence Day. Hopefully the video version isn’t banned, but if it is, you should press play on your copy of “The Patriot” as soon as the intro song ends on this episode (15 seconds in) to sync them up. You should know we’re watching the Extended Cut of “The Patriot.”

• Jake breaks out some props (as in propaganda)
• Dustin breaks a promise
• We address the parts of the movie that are not historically accurate
• We discuss if that matters, and what parts ARE
• We catch Benjamin Martin sneaking a peek at some cleavage
• We try to figure out what Mel Gibson’s best movie is
• We reflect on the complicated founding of our nation
• There’s a lot of fatherhood talk, but we try to remember the sons’ perspectives as well
• We share unpartisan thoughts about the messy and broken current political system
• We discuss the two different young actors in this movie who died way too early in real life
• And more than anything we just want Americans to be united under a set of shared fundamental principles once again

Happy Independence Day, be safe and be free!
