Moynihan is bronchial. Welch is jovial. Foster is nowhere to be found. In another Patreon-only special dispatch, the attending Fifth Columnists discuss Mötley Crüe home videos; who was more “gender fluid,” grunge feminists or heavy metal sleazebags; the fantastically annoying Noam Chomsky and the impossibly heroic Vaclav Havel; the unmatched brilliance of Clive James; and the age-old mystery of why seemingly smart people believe very stupid things. Speaking of actually smart people...our listeners! Welch and Moynihan dig through the Patreon mail bag and try to answer a few questions...but end up blathering about the beautiful Pacific Northwest and the omnivorous mind of Christopher Hitchens.

Matt was MIA. Kmele arrived at the studio and promptly excused himself, supposedly to attend to an unnamed "emergency." So Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani, friend of the Fifth and lefty journo extraordinaire, was cruelly stuck arguing with Moynihan, her former colleague and fellow Vice News Tonight on HBO alum. It’s a wide-ranging discussion that touches on liberalism in Iran, how to be a socialist married to a libertarian, her infamous R. Kelly interview, the efficacy of #metoo and the idiocy of cancel culture. Why this episode never made it to air has been the subject of intense debate, though an internal investigation found that Kmele's Adderall withdrawal and resurgent ADHD was the most likely culprit.(Recorded August 8, 2019) Thank you for subscribing.

The director of classic documentaries "The Thin Blue Line," "Fog of War," and "Standard Operation Procedure," Errol Morris has long been the doyen of critics...until he made "American Dharma," a film exploring the worldview and influence of former Breitbart boss and Trump campaign chief executive Steve Bannon. Predictably, Morris was accused of "platforming" Bannon and, for the first time in his career, America's most famous documentarian couldn't find a distributor for his film. On the day "American Dharma" opened in New York, Morris sat down with Michael Moynihan to discuss the controversy, whether or not Bannon is a "fascist," and why he thinks his most controversial movie is also his best.

It's Sunday afternoon and Matt, Kmele, and Michael have assembled in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for another Patreon-only special dispatch, available to all of you amazing people plopping down $10 and above. Lubricated by a few glasses of wine and whiskey, the seditionists discuss Facebook Russians vs. Hollywood Reds, high drug prices, why New York is more expensive the L.A., and (in response to a listener query) offer recommendations on what to do in New York...if you've never been to New York.

Last month, Kmele Foster and Michael Moynihan decided to test out a new home studio—in Moynihan’s home—dedicated to producing exclusive, Patreon-only content for subscribers. So why not release that test to certain tier of Patreon subscribers? Well, there are plenty of reasons. But if you want to hear two Fifth Columnists yammering about how to interview people, Tupac and MLK, the infamous lost episode, and some reader email (recorded on October 14, 2019).
