Summary

It's the 250th year anniversary of the United States of America and the 10th episode anniversary of Loose Canon, two equally important events. In a belated Fourth of July episode, Ella and Simon discuss a very broad category of films: American Epics. But what is an American Epic and is Born on the Fourth of July (Simon's pick) or Malcolm X (Ella's pick) a more fitting movie to take the mantle and represent the ethos of the United States in the Loose Canon?
