0:00 - In the same weekend, Conner watched two films directed by Steven Spielberg about crimes against the Jewish people. Not intentional. But Conner saw “Munich” and “Schindler’s List” for the first time and had feelings about both as they relate to recent world events. 

8:00 - We stumble into a conversation about PureFlix, CleanFlix, VidAngel, all the “clean edited” film services.
