On this bonus episode Joe and Nick take a deep dive into the insane world of Mel Gibson's The Patriot. A strange version of the American Revolution where the French hardly helped, the Red Coats were literally Nazis, and our freedom loving founding fathers never owned slaves.

2018-09-23 14:46:50 +0000 UTC View PostSince I feel like the majority of people have probably gotten around to listening to our bonus episode what did everyone think about it?
On our first bonus episode Joe is joined by Flynn Richardson. Flynn is a Staff Sergeant in the US Army and subject matter expert on the Second Wizarding War. Joe pisses Flynn off by constantly referring to the movies only and questioning Minerva McGonagall's Command abilities.

(Full disclosure the War of 1812 was only supposed to be 2 parts but I can't control myself)
