It’s been so long since we had a proper movie fight on this show, and this week’s movie finally fit the bill. David thinks this is actually a poignant allegory for the tragic events of 9/11 and trying to reckon with those emotions. Diana thinks it’s a pointless movie that deserves to be thrown in the garbage. We both agree, though, that the script could have made some choices to help with the awkwardness of it all. Get ready for an all-out patented Movie Fight(TM) as we discuss 2022’s 25th Hour this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
