This week, the fellas go to ground in the Belorussian Forest and watch 2008's Defiance! From the twisted mind of Edward Zwick, the film follows the exploits of the Bielski brothers as they try to protect their fellow Jews from the machinations of the invading Nazis. Not content to simply stay alive, they form a working commuinity deep in the woods and aid the Soviets in the fight against fascism and genocide.

This week, the boys ask a question that has lived on through the annals of time...

IS THIS MOVIE A WAR MOVIE... OR IS THIS MOVIE NOT A WAR MOVIE?

The topic? 2014's Edge of Tomorrow starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. This major question kick-starts one of the biggest debates in podcast history but the guys also discuss the movie itself, don't you worry. They talk about the movie acting as a real-life videogame, playing with audience expectations of Tom Cruise, the improvised kiss and much more.

Next week: Daniel Craig has a funny accent.

Sorry about the relevancy of this week's episode...

This week, the boys talk about the mockumentary-style film C.S.A: Confederate States of America, a film that presents a kind-of Ken Burns-esque program in a world where the south had indeed won the Civil War. Why are the seemingly racist fake ads a lot more believable now? What was Canada's role in this altered American Civil War? Do the film clips remind your hosts of real films they've already covered on the show? All this and more!

Next week: IS THIS MOVIE A WAR MOVIE OR IS THIS MOVIE NOT A WAR MOVIE? Space Edition.

The boys dig in once again in 1937's The Road Back, a sequel to 1930's All Quiet on the Western Front lost to the midsts of time (with ample reason). The war is over as Germany surrenders to the Allies but there is much uncertainty. As soldiers return home, the government is in chaos, unrest is in the streets and the only thing that helps is some out-of-place comedy. Good luck, listener.

Next week: What if the South won?
