In this week’s episode, Liz shares a bit of WWII history with Dakota, talking about the sinking of the USS Indianapolis - the ship responsible for carrying part of the bomb that was later dropped on Hiroshima, and the horror following her sinking.  Dakota pitches his ideas for more movie spin offs.
