When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for two newlyweds to buy National Treasure at Half Price Books and watch it after their honeymoon, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare their opinions of said film and the feelings which impel them to view it on or around the Fourth of July.

Remember when dumb conspiracy theories were fun and revolved around Masonic scavenger hunts instead of celebrities drinking blood? National Treasure  remembers.  

This 2004 action-adventure flick from director Jon Turteltaub stars Nicolas Cage, Harvey Keitel, Jon Voight, Diane Kruger, Sean Bean, Justin Bartha, and Christopher Plummer, and centers around a historical mystery.  Cage plays rogue historian Benjamin Franklin Gates, who must steal the Declaration of Independence in order to save it from a band of criminal treasure hunters. While on the run from the bad guys and the G-men, he must decipher the clues leading to a glorious treasure dating back to the days of the Founding Fathers.

 Listen to Áine and Kevin squabble like Continental Congress over school field trips, historical heists, the History Channel, Clive Cussler,  and lemons.

Sorry the audio features some odd abuses and usurpations, we didn't warm up the mixing machine enough after letting it sit idle for a while. Also, forgive the mistaken dates at the start of the episode. We submit ourselves to be tarred and feathered for the error.
