This week, a love letter to Tony Scott’s patriotic, time-twisting thriller Déjà Vu. Denzel Washington stars as ATF agent Doug Carlin, who investigates a New Orleans ferry explosion—and stumbles into a government surveillance program that somehow also doubles as a time machine with excellent satellite coverage.
It’s part detective story, part love story, 100 percent Tony Scott energy: orange filters, low flying helicopters, Val Kilmer squinting, and an SUV that literally drives into the past.
Greg and Joe learn something about themselves along the way.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
