We're headed into election series here in the US, and what better way to celebrate than with the 1999 film Election? How do we parse a film where we're supposed to recognize the people are flawed while still engaging with them? Why is Mr. M literally the worst teacher ever? We'll explore these things and more! Plus we discuss Hillary Clinton's descent into TERFdom.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
