The episode discusses the resignations of Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzalez in relation to themes from the film Apocalypse Now.

Acknowledged as one of cinema's greatest productions, Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now is filled with memorable dialogue, which helped the film earn its well-deserved reputation. This week's resignations of former congressmen Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzalez remind us of a specific passage in the movie, in which General Corman speaks about Colonel Kurtz.
