On the podcast this week, Steven and Sean are biting our freshly washed nails in the monkey-biting Wolfgang Petersen film, Outbreak.

Is the world bursting into flames around us? Nah, not really, but it got pretty dang close in this film. Outbreak was released in 1995 and has proven to be pretty prescient for these current times. What is always timeless, though, are Steven\\u2019s puns. The show opens with several and they don\\u2019t let up. We\\u2019re, uh, we\\u2019re not sorry about them.

As Steven mentions, this movie is a good example of following protocol and also a fantastic example of people who really should listen to authority a whole lot more. As it can do, life imitates art.

Speaking of, we\\u2019re a little upset with the general lack of sense in our real-life world when it comes to washing your hands and not hoarding the supplies that we all need. Seriously people, be cool! There are people in the world that need the toilet paper and soap more than the awful hoarders do. Shame on them. Shame!

From its intense melodrama to the harrowing suspense of trying to save an entire city from a terrible end, Outbreak does a good job of drawing you in and keeping you on the edge of that seat you\\u2019re sitting on. It can be a tough film to watch when so much in the world seems uncertain, but if you\\u2019re up for it, you really can\\u2019t do any better. So fair warning about that and also about the significant Kevin Spacey presence in this one. We know\\u2026 We know.

Also, if Donald Sutherland suddenly shows up in your city wearing military fatigues, run. Run away as fast as you can. He\\u2019s going to try to blow up your city.
