Hal & Craig watched John Sayles 1987 film Matewan. The film, starring Chris Cooper and James Earl Jones, tells the true story of the fight between West Virginia coal miners and union busters whose tactics grow increasingly more violent. Discussions also include:
- Aaron Bushnell and his remarkable protest against Palestinian genocide;
- Hal's new obsession THE FLOOR, the Rob Lowe hosted game show;
- Our recent watches: Fitzcarraldo, Nosferatu the Vampyre, Barry Lyndon, and The Lighthouse;
- Anti-union violence and America's history of union busting.
