On this week’s episode, Sonny Bunch (The Bulwark), Alyssa Rosenberg (The Washington Post), and Peter Suderman (Reason) discuss Francis Ford Coppola’s libel suit against Variety, as well as a whacky idea for the theatrical presentation of Megalopolis. Then they review Rebel Ridge, a movie with a message. Were Sonny and Peter suckered in by the film’s message? Make sure to swing by for our bonus episode on Friday about thrillers with a conscience.

Enjoyed listening to Award winning Alyssa giving you and Peter a hard for being pandered to by a film.
Seriously, no comment about Truffo's (sic)Fahrenheit 451, in which there is a scene in the movie where the fireman's wife interacts with a television program on a big screen in her home?
I second HEARTS OF DARKNESS, which I believe is a better film than APOCALYPSE NOW.
I agree with Alyssa that the bike is wrong. The frame, used, is still worth $2K? He's riding it in sneakers? He can ride on lousy gravel? It's a commonplace in such movies that the hero will be good at too many things.
EXCELLENT movie!! I'm not a person who normally watches a movie twice but I will watch this one a second time.
Thinking about Adam Driver pre-recording many answers. https://youtu.be/LWLmb4LXUb8?si=1KagZ81I13YtMTsw
