After the events of 9/11, experts anticipated an epidemic of PTSD could soon sweep the United States. What actually happened was significantly more nuanced, in a way that helped shape the modern understanding of post-traumatic stress disorder. Health and science journalist Catherine Roberts joins TTR to explain.

TTR discusses "Spider-Man 2," one of the most successful and era-defining movies of the 2000s. Long regarded as a classic of its genre, it has also long had a reputation for carrying a message of post-9/11 American solidarity. But how does it all hold up, 22 years divorced from context and 7 or so Spider-Mans later?

Sorry for the Wednesday upload on this one :)

TTR discusses "War All The Time," the major label debut from New Jersey post-hardcore/emo band Thursday, which was released in September 2003 into a post-'90s, post-9/11 world that truly had begun to feel tainted by war, all of the time.

In the waning days of the decade 2000-2009, a computer worm that would come to be known as Stuxnet quietly emerged as the most complex and imposing piece of malware ever seen. Security technicians quickly determined that the worm displayed an alarming degree of sophistication, precision, and quality control in its design. What appeared at first to be a well-funded tool for espionage was slowly revealed to be a state-funded act of sabotage — a cyberweapon that had broken containment to wrap itself around the world.

TTR discusses "12 Strong: The Declassified True Story of the Horse Soldiers," starring Chris Hemsworth and directed by Nicolai Fuglsig. Is this film, which has perhaps the most scientifically average movie reviews in the history of the medium, actually a hidden gem? Is the story behind it, based on the book by Doug Stanton, worth telling? Who do you think wins, the centaurs or Al-Qaeda? All this and more will be answered with gusto in this sweaty summer sleepy-sode.
