About this episode

The episode discusses the quality of Angel Studios' new film 'YOUNG WASHINGTON' in the context of right-of-centre cinema.

Like 'em or not, Angel Studios have emerged as the only explicitly right-of-centre movie company that knows what movies look like. But does their new historical drama YOUNG WASHINGTON (2026) meet that minimum standard of quality? We marked America's 250th birthday by heading to our local multiplex and hanging out with a Founding Father.
