About this episode

The hosts discuss the political themes and cinematic elements of the 1969 film 'Z'.

This week, the boys have a blast getting political, discussing 1969’s “Z”. This French-language movie was filmed in Algeria about a true story in Greece, and it feels like it could be 2026. The themes of the film are deep, and the tension is high, but we drink whiskey and beer, so we had fun discussing!
