The Bottlemen

Riley and Dan have once again looked into the long shadows cast over the latter half of the 20th century by fascism. This episode explores how the anticommunist groups and a succession of Conservative and Liberal governments made common cause in the erection of a stupid monument to nothing for idiots.

We made CJ (@TOS_violator) from Eat Chain (@eatchain) watch the 2006 film Bon Cop, Bad Cop - you remember that film, right? It was the film that, at the time, was supposed to compete with American movies on some kind of substantive level? We delve into the collective psychosis that settled over Canada to convince everyone this was a good movie.

In this episode, we ask the question: does Canada's, and now the world's, number one trendy media brand have a distinctive brand of politics? Why is there a rich vein of interventionism running through this magazine that had fashion do's and don'ts? Why is this hipster doofus in Liberia?

Chapo Trap House's Felix Biederman joins Dan and Riley to ask: What, if anything, does Vice actually believe in?
