This week, Em and Ned discuss the Acadamy Award-nominated film News of the World (2020), starring everyone's favorite man in Hollywood, Tom Hanks! Not only does this movie, which takes place post-civil war, make a strategic connection to the current political landscape, but I think it makes a pretty strong argument for replacing all news anchors with Tom Hanks. 

Since this is a pretty acclaimed film, we talk about the good performances, the yee-haw soundtrack, and our thoughts on Westerns as a genre. (The genre should include the 2003 movie Holes and Em must make the argument why every time "western" is mentioned. Sorry not sorry.)
