THE PATRIOT

<p>Celebrate July 4th and America&#39;s 250th anniversary with one of the most jingoistic films depicting the American Revolutionary War, <em>The Patriot</em>! In this episode, we talk about putting the <em>fiction </em>in historical fiction, ponder whether Mel Gibson was right for the job, and feel perplexed about the racial discussion or lack thereof in the film. We&#39;re also drinking a patriotic Big Sipz, the &#39;Merican flavor, weighing in at 16%! Apologies if things get a bit messy.</p><p><strong>Approximate timeline</strong></p><p>0:00-13:00 Intro</p><p>13:00-20:00 Drink talk</p><p>20:00-end <em>The Patriot</em></p><p><br></p><p>Come back soon for even more podcast shenanigans.
