Episode 641 - Meeting Gorbachev (2018) 11/14/2019 Hi everyone! Welcome back for another catchup review, from yet another favorite filmmaker of mine.

Episode 109 - Cartel Land (2015) 04/19/2018 Today’s movie is “Cartel Land” (2015), directed by Matthew Heinemen, a documentary about two vigilante groups ostensibly fighting back against the cartels.
