But before we leave we watch and discuss Adam McKay's Vice (2018). Vice is a somewhat satirical biopic on Dick Cheney and how he shaped the presidency and politics of his time, spanning 4 decades. We end the month where we began it with a discussion of historical accuracy and the ethics of historical fiction. Try as he might, Marco could not walk away from that conversation. So tune in as we wave goodbye to Top Dog month, and transition into next month. Next month being June, we did our lottery pick theme. This year's winner was Brian's pick of Cold Hard Cage, so we are finally doing a whole month of Nicholas Cage. First up is Mandy (2018) Tune in for the Cage madness. and email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com","meta_description":"Episode 138 - Pack your bags and get ready to leave our nation's capital because it is our last month of Top Dog month.
