This week we discuss what, in retrospect, was the most controversial film of the year, even more than two serial killer films. No, the honor of Film That Made Everyone Angry was this week’s movie, predicated on flipping the script on the most infamous moment in American political history. And yet, for a movie tackling such a weighty subject, with a strong, self-assured filmmaker at the helm, this is an absolute stinker of a movie. it’s bad enough that the movie trades in some of the worst and most easily debunked conspiracy theories surrounding November 22, 1963; it’s also just so incredibly boring. Kevin Costner is reduced to expounding exposition while everyone else has to overact around him, all because Oliver Stone needed to shove his own dark beliefs into the public sphere. In doing so, he created a new level of doubt that has since transformed into some of the most dangerous conspiracy believers in society. All rise as we put JFK on trial this week on Macintosh & Maud Haven’t Seen What?!
