Hello and Welcome to another debate podcast - but this time with movies! First things out the way, yes we did leave you hanging for a minute. But really, how else were we going to get you to miss us?

For all the movies, actors and topics that were brought up in this episode (and there were a few, believe me), catch the links down bel...

Birth of a Nation tells the true story of Nat Turner, an enslaved Baptist Preacher in Southampton, Virginia in the 19th century, one of the southern states of Ameri...
