This week, Francis speaks with Military dot com reporter Steve Beynon (@StevenBeynon) about the misery of National Guard deployments to the Texas/Mexico border, a push among Guard soldiers to unionize, and much more.

For this week's bonus, Francis made Shocks read a listicle of 'Top Boston Movies' and they discuss it. Some surprising entries on here and some Wahlberg-centric ones, too. Get it on Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/63837204
