On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are resisting fascism wherever and whenever it pops up its evil head. We watched the 2020 film by Aneil Karia, The Long Goodbye.

Despite its impressive awards run, despite its star power, and even despite the fact that it’s a work of fiction filmmaking, it’s important to internalize the subtitle to this episode. What we see in this short film can absolutely happen wherever you are.

We’re starting this month of amazing short films with a heavy one, but it’s more important than ever these days. We encourage everyone to give this one a watch.
