Hello everyone! We are so glad to be back from our brief hiatus with a fantastic episode. In today's show, we will be discussing the new critically acclaimed Netflix film, The Trial of the Chicago Seven, discussing historical context and giving our thoughts along the way. (Yes, we do love Sacha Baron Cohen) This film kept us thinking long after it ended, and we hope you all enjoy listening to our thoughts about it and maybe check it out for yourself! 

A special thanks to our patrons Tommy B and Sheila Clarke! We are so grateful for your support. It means the world to us.
