In this episode we discuss the 1999 film Wing Commander. You can watch it on YouTube, Apple TV, or Amazon Prime.
Content warnings for strong language, discussions of women killed to promote a man’s story, misogyny and “future” racism in the text, sex jokes, several minutes’ worth of trying to remember New Hampshire movie theatres from the 90s, bad French accents, and terrible Reformation jokes
