Merry Christmas! We're currently watching Airplane vs Volcano, a terrible Dean Cain movie, and breaking it down for our Patrons in great detail. In the spirit of the season, we thought it should be shared with more of you, so here's the first part of our breakdown, just in case you're interested. It's part scholarly film theory analysis, part snarky nitpicking, part exasperated diatribe.

There's a LOT to hate about this film, so there'll be more on New Year's Day. We're sorry. 

In the one-hundred-and-eighty-seventh episode, we explore the Square One Fallacy, starting with RFK Jr demanding vaccines be tested before they are used, and Trump suggesting some kind of film and video game ratings system.

In Mark's British Politics Corner, we look at Kemi Badenoch lamenting (for all the wrong reasons) the rebooted version of research into puberty blockers, Nigel Farage demanding a whole new kind of Brexit guaranteed (this time) to give us sovereignty, and the push for another inquiry into grooming gangs.

In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out real world examples about gender affirming care, cannabis legalization, and tobacco regulation.

Jim and Mark go head to head in Fake News, the game in which Mark has to guess which one of three Trump quotes Jim made up.

Then Jim talks about his recent very deep dive into the world of media effects research with regard to violent video games.

And finally, we round up some of the other crazy Trump stories from the past week.

While Jim's away on holiday, in lieu of a regular episode, here is the audio of a talk Jim gave last Summer for the Skeptics in the Pub Online ( https://sitp.online/ ), who very kindly gave permission for us to share it with you here.

Long-time listeners will no doubt already be aware of Jim's obsession with debunking Dinesh D'Souza's film about election fraud, but this is the first time he talked about it after completing his book on the subject, (which, by the way, is available at http://zeromul.es/book )

We'll be back in August with episode 179.
