Will and Luke venture into Michael Moore's TV work and revisit the first season of The Awful Truth. Get ready to think about the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal again!

Michael Moore's period of relevance wheezes to a conclusion with 2009's CAPITALISM: A LOVE STORY, which examines the decline of the American empire one year after the financial collapse and two years before Occupy Wall Street. After struggling mightily to muster the energy to revisit this film, Will and Luke conclude that it is (for better and worse)a career-summing work.

Believe it or not, there was once a time when Michael Moore was a thing that people cared about very deeply. In 2004, just weeks before the re-election of George W. Bush, a Mormon college in Utah Valley was engulfed in outrage when it invited our friend from Flint to deliver a speech. This week, Will and Luke dig up THIS DIVIDED STATE, a documentary about the controversy, and consider what it says about the nature of political discourse. They also do a dramatic reading of one of Michael Moore's horrible 2016-era blog posts.

In the waning days of the Bush administration, AIRPLANE/NAKED GUN creator turned 9/11 Republican David Zucker took satiric aim at Michael Moore. But does AN AMERICAN CAROL (2008), starring Chris Farley's brother and a host of right-wing celebrities, bring the laffs? Will and Luke are on the case. (Spoiler: good lord, it's terrible)

After several weeks in the Republican wilderness, Will and Luke finally return to the oeuvre of Michael Moore. They watched his 2007 universal healthcare polemic SICKO, and in an astonishing turn of events, actually kinda liked it.

This week, our heroes watch another anti-Moore documentary, but this one was made by liberals! (Ostensibly). But despite appearances by Noam Chomsky, Christopher Hitchens, and Ralph Nader, MANUFACTURING DISSENT is the worst movie that Will and Luke have yet endured for this misbegotten podcast.

In this special bonus episode, Will and Luke are joined by returning guest Chris Berube to explore the most financially successful right-wing documentary of the post-Michael Moore age. It's the movie that, according to its maker, swayed 1 million votes to Mitt Romney* and landed its director in prison**. It's 2016: OBAMA'S AMERICA, by the one and only Dinesh D'Souza.

*Almost certainly untrue

**He was actually indicted for campaign finance law violations

Will and Luke continue their voyage through the anti-Michael Moore documentaries of the mid-2000s with MICHAEL MOORE HATES AMERICA, a Michael Moore-style documentary about Michael Moore himself. Filmmaker Michael Wilson travels the country in pursuit of an interview with Moore, but discovers America instead. Along the way, he haplessly tries to explain to Albert Maysles why the title "MICHAEL MOORE HATES AMERICA" is actually a satiric comment on 2004-era political discourse; ambushes Dinesh D'Souza; and listens raptly to our modern Cicero, Penn Jillette. Holy crap, this movie is terrible.

Luke and Will take a detour from the Michael Moore canon to begin a three-week exploration of the anti-Moore documentaries released in the immediate wake of FAHRENHEIT 9/11. First up: FAHRENHYPE 9/11, a straight-to-video rebuttal documentary starring a who's-who of 2004-era neoconservatism. Incredibly enough, it's not very good.

George W. Bush. Lila Lipscomb. James Bath. Britney Spears. Yes, friends - this week, Will and Luke are taking you back to the heady days of 2004, when America's fate hung in the balance and Michael Moore was one of the most talked-about men in the world. Yes, this is the episode you've been waiting for. It's time to let the eagle soar. It's time for FAHRENHEIT 9/11.
