Lewis and Nick examine the podcast-to-fash pipeline by discussing the biopic "Geronimo: An American Legend" (1993), written by arch-fascist John Milius. While this Revisionist Western exults in the less savory aspects of the Spartan-Zen ethos, it also explores the truly horrendous actions of the U.S. government against Native Americans through a critical lens. This sentiment, Walter Hill's direction, along with a collection of stellar performances from the lead and background actors in some truly gorgeous shooting locations, make for a memorable, tragically true story.
