6.7 The Blind Side
As we continue our Football Season, forceful parent Lex Friedman embraces adopted son Dan Moren as they watch the 2009 film, The Blind Side.
Hot topics include the shift in culture, truth being stranger than fiction, and whose viewpoint we’re really seeing the story from.
Programming Note: In addition to this capsule episode, which contains our discussion before and after the film, members can watch along with Lex and Dan in a full-length commentary track, available in the members-only First Class feed.
