On today's episode, Rike (@rikeyboi) and Finch (@finchowar) join Josiah to discuss Manoel de Oliveira's No, or the Vain Glory of Command (1990), a film looking at various extravagant and pathetic episodes in Portuguese history through a discussion between conscripted soldiers during the war in Angola.
