I didn't see it and can't find it now. ~~Can you point me to it?~~

Edit: Found it. Small print at the bottom, time: 1:50.

That was unexpectedly pretty great.

Tap for spoilerI thought it was going to be a serious movie. Then the puppet appeared and I was like okay maybe they are having fun with it. Then the war scene got me.

Doesn't seem like this is going to be a real thing, but I want it to be.

Bit more info on the linked podcast episode (July 10 2025):

"In an era that can feel like a tinderbox, Jon is joined by Tony Gilroy, creator of "Andor" and Oscar nominee, and Mike Duncan, bestselling author and creator of the "History of Rome" and "Revolutions" podcasts. Together, they examine what draws ordinary people into extraordinary historical moments, explore the catalysts that spark revolutions, and consider how both fictional narratives and historical analysis illuminate our present. Plus, Jon reacts to the latest Epstein file news or lack thereof."

I listened to it and enjoyed the episode.

Edit: For relevance to this week, they talk about ICE oppression and an expected incident will lead to an attempt at marshal law.
