this is such a long time coming. I think we've had this written down probably as a thing to watch

0:05.4

since Michael and us, season 1.5 maybe, probably since 2016 or 2017. Neither of us had ever seen

0:13.0

this film. I had seen the first movie Olympus has fallen. Yeah, and we almost pivoted to that

0:18.6

because, you know, I was worried, you know, we might not be up on the lore.

0:22.1

But I think I was mostly able to understand the nuances of this film.

0:26.5

This could have been part one.

0:27.8

Yeah, easily.

0:28.5

So, look, this is another right-wing action film episode.

0:32.8

But, you know, it's funny.

Will and I were, we recorded something earlier earlier today and then we were out getting lunch and we were kind of tossing ideas around about okay, what are we going to do next?

1:22.7

and deranged, that it kind of is able to break certain right-wing taboos and end up being, if not good,

1:31.0

because the Sound of Freedom and London has fallen are certainly not good movies,

1:35.2

certainly different than what you might expect from a Paint by the Numbers action film,

1:40.5

such as this, or a sort of, you know, mega-Christian movie like Sound of Freedom. I mean, with that film, that's a movie for, you know maga christian movie like sound of freedom i mean with that film
