On the 25th anniversary of 9/11, Brian catches up with Adam Holz of Plugged In to discuss the best films for remembering that day and passing its history on to a generation too young to have lived it, recommending Flight 93, World Trade Center, and Zero Dark Thirty. They reflect on how differently the tragedy would unfold in today's smartphone and social-media-saturated world compared to 2001. Adam also shares that Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ is returning to theaters for a limited one-week release through Fathom Events ahead of its upcoming sequels, The Resurrection of the Christ, and he and Brian wrestle candidly with the film's unmatched spiritual power alongside its brutally graphic depiction of the crucifixion. They close with Brian's own belated review of The Odyssey, which he finally saw in theaters.
