7: Argo, Part 1

Joanna and Dave talk about Ben Affleck’s somewhat goofy take on a heavy and complicated political situation that led to almost 90 people being held hostage for over a year. They’ll talk about the heavy Canadian criticism of this movie, the weirdness of 1970s Hollywoodland, and hear from some of the six diplomats who were saved on what exactly they did for three months holed up in a mansion.
