Happy Thanksgiving! We're taking today off for the holiday, so enjoy this episode from the archives! We'll have a new episode next week.

Original description: This week we review 2004 comedy Soul Plane with Kevin Hart, Method Man, Snoop Dogg, and Sofia Vergara. Crude racial stereotyping, Islamophobia, baffling misogyny, and plot holes you could fly a plane through... but did it help the cause though?
