Break Room Review

We talk Martin A. Lee's book Acid Dreams: The Complete Social History of LSD: The CIA, the Sixties, and Beyond. The 1960's history appears even more relevant in the current 2020 social and political climate. Mike here, the audio got a little rough and we had to cut the show short. I think the audio we have is fun. I hope you enjoy. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/breakroomreview/support

Why talk about an article discussing a 23 year old movie? It beats talk'n shop. Josh and Mike take off the safety vest, sit down in the break room and talk about David Roth's recent article in the New Yorker. The 1997 Paul Verhoeven's film "Starship Troopers" has never been more relevant as faceless bugs terrify humanity. Or is it humanity terrifying the bugs?
