Tone from BME Pod joined me this week on the podcast and talked about his experience covering All-Star Weekend and an appreciation that he has for all the media availability that the players are obligated to fulfill.

Le Petit Soldat, Jean-Luc Godard (1963) A political and deeply introspective film set during the Algerian War. The focus of the story is moral conflict: the inability to clearly distinguish between political convictions, violence, and personal emotions.
