This week on the show:
Sarah and Kevin discuss Spider-Man 2 one of the most successful and era-defining movies of the 2000s. Long regarded as a classic of the genre, it has also long had a reputation for carrying a message of post-9/11 solidarity. But does that message hold up?

Collateral Damage

A firefighter suffers immense tragedy when terrorists strike on American soil. Collateral Damage, the 2002 action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, delayed and edited in response to the events of 9/11! They shoulda blown this movie up with a bomb.

The Pet Goat

On 9/11, terrorists struck, and President Bush just sat there, reading a children's story to a classroom in the nation's hour of need. Or did he? TTR digs into the truth about the oft-repeated meme, laying out the reality of a widely-misunderstood story.
