Summary of the podcast episode
Two people discuss the absurdity of the plot and characters in a movie called 'The Sound of Freedom', which claims to be about child sex trafficking rescue missions. They mock the unrealistic situations and dialogues portrayed in the film, such as the protagonist pretending to be a doctor and the seemingly easy rescue mission. They highlight the poor fight choreography and the far-fetched claims made by the real-life activist, Tim Ballard, who supposedly inspired the movie. The hosts also criticize the misleading message of the movie and its call to action to purchase more tickets. Overall, they find the movie to be poorly made and delusional in its portrayal of a serious issue. The hosts express their disbelief and amusement at the movie's ridiculousness throughout the episode.
This week, the gang gets together for an atheist review of Sound of Freedom live from Las Vegas. It's the story of a grown man telling other grown men a story with "pew pew" in it ... and them believing him.
