Show notes:

  • This film was written and directed by Robert M. Young
  • We discuss a certain unnamed presidential candidate at length, who has since gone on to become an unnamed presumptive nominee. I’m not going to do this candidate any favors by linking to them

  • Edward James Olmos has been in quite a few of Robert M. Young’s films
  • He was also awesome in the reboot of Battlestar Galactica
