About this episode

The episode discusses the films Uncle Sam, Bicentennial Man, and The Patriot in the context of American history and culture.

THIS WEEK: Uncle Sam (1996), Bicentennial Man (1999) and The Patriot (2000) We really should have posted this yesterday. Suddenly it feels downright disrespectful to discuss whatever the fuck Bicentennial Man is. Happy 250, America! Donate to Palestinian Medical Aid Support Optimism Vaccine on Patreon
