• The context of this film being made before World War II had even ended and discussing concepts like isolationism
• Liam schools Ian in some American History
• Ian shares a story that relates somewhat to "The Eyes of Tammy Faye
• We're joined by Reverend Bruce who shares his thoughts on the film and the movie industry at large
