Topic: Movie Clips

In a recurring segment, the hosts play a clip of "bad acting" featuring Keanu Reeves. John C. Dvorak correctly identifies the actor but initially guesses the wrong film before settling on "A Walk in the Clouds." The segment serves as a critique of insincere performances in both cinema and political rhetoric.

The hosts play a "Guess That Movie" segment featuring a clip from "Thor: The Dark World." The discussion briefly touches on the film's plot involving Stonehenge and the fabric of reality before mentioning that "Wag the Dog" is currently airing on HBO.

A clip from the movie "Casino" is played to illustrate a "scorched earth" policy where witnesses are eliminated to protect a criminal organization. The hosts use this as a metaphor for current government tactics in high-profile trials and investigations. The dialogue emphasizes the "why take a chance" mentality of those in power when dealing with potential leaks.

The hosts introduce a new segment, "Movie Clip of the Week," featuring a scene from the Sam Peckinpah classic Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. They briefly mention new legislation that makes streaming copyrighted content a felony, justifying their use of the clip as fair use for promotional purposes.
