Adam Curry reviews the Michael Bay-produced film "Songbird," which depicts a dystopian future under a "COVID-23" lockdown. He describes the movie as a "humongous piece of crap" with little social message, focusing instead on a romance between a courier and a quarantined woman.

The Michael Bay film "13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi" is discussed as a potential influence on public perception of Hillary Clinton's tenure as Secretary of State.

A critique of local news "packages" identifies them as likely video press releases designed to look like organic reporting.

The hosts critique the TNT television series "The Last Ship," which depicts a global viral pandemic that kills most of the world's population. They suggest the show's timing is suspicious given the real-world Ebola headlines and dismiss the program as low-quality entertainment.

A series of listener donations are read, including contributions from Raymond Williams and Michael Shoemaker.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff is criticized for his comments at the Aspen Institute regarding "homegrown" terrorists and the "aardvark effect."

The AMC show "Shootout" (formerly "Sunday Morning Shootout") is praised for its inside-baseball look at the movie industry. A segment featuring director Michael Bay reveals his distaste for filming in Canada, which he characterized as a "scam" despite the tax incentives.
