Episode description

Based on a book written in 1955 warning us about the dangers of American involvement in other country's affairs. Can you guess where the story is set? Vietnam... Michael Caine plays a British reporter living in Saigon alongside Brendan Fraser who plays an American with large ideas for Vietnam. Jeff and Stuart had a great time discussing all of the subtexts between Caine's neutral and impartial position and Fraser's American exceptionalism.
