  • Summary

  • Welcome to Part II! This week, Nick, Anthony, and Taylor recommend some American history-themed movies for Thanksgiving:


    We kick off the festivities with a trip to D.C. in Wag the Dog (1997). Robert De Niro plays a Washington spin doctor who enlists the help of an eccentric movie producer (Dustin Hoffman) to create a fictional war in order to distract Americans from a presidential scandal.

    Then in 1971 students at Stanford University are selected to participate in a psychology study that goes terribly wrong. This true story is told in the independent film The Stanford Prison Experiment (2015).

    Finally, The Reluctant Dragon (1941) is a truly odd curio found on Disney+. This scripted documentary provides viewers with a behind the scenes look at how Disney animation was created in the 1940s.
