Episode 70: Guys, 9/11 JUST Happened

Tiger Cruise (2004)

Ahoy everyone! Join us up on the main deck as we discuss Tiger Cruise, a fun little movie about kids getting into trouble on board a Navy aircraft carrier. Doesn’t that sound like a fun little movie for us to cover on the Fourth of July? Well guess what, that movie doesn’t exist. Instead, this movie is really all about children confronting the September 11th Terrorist Attacks. The whole experience was a lot, but I think we were able to put together something for you all that isn’t a total bummer to listen in on.

Emma celebrates her president and is not immune to propaganda.

Lucas regrets his word choices and feels bad about what he’s done.
