Braveheart

Braveheart

Another of those rare instances where Jeff and JT agree with the Academy of Motion Pictures, we're on Braveheart this episode. Mel Gibson swings a sword, makes speeches, and somehow wears both a kilt and face paint, in defiance of all actual historical records. We talk its big Best Picture Oscar win, James Horner’s score that still gives us goosebumps, questionable history, and battle scenes that absolutely still slap. Was it as good as we remembered, or were we just teenagers hopped up on bagpipes and adrenaline?
