    • 29: Movie Discussion, Planet of the Humans (2020)

      In April 2020, as oil prices went negative and the world sheltered in place, Michael Moore released “Planet of the Humans” for free on YouTube—a documentary challenging the mainstream environmental movement. Millions of people watched it. Weeks later, eight people gathered on Zoom to talk about what they’d seen.

      This episode of Bro Connections shares that conversation: Matt Harnack, John Mulrow, Lucas Morton, Phil Narodick, Steven Rogers, Jane Rogers, Rick Rogers, and host Will Rogers discuss trust, solutions, Gaia, Tesla Roofs, and some of the environmental movement’s strengths and weaknesses. It’s a time capsule from a strange moment—when the pandemic had forced a new way of living, and everyone was asking what comes next.
