As promised during last week’s episode, Mitcz finally watched CitizenFour and took copious notes. In this episode, Mitcz discusses the few issues he had with the documentary itself, does some fact-checking, runs a ridiculous math explanation on the numbers Edward Snowden used during the doc, and expresses his feelings about Snowden. Alex disagrees with Mitcz’s contention of Snowden’s actions at first, but gets dangerously close to actually agreeing with him towards the end. This episode is 2 hours of basically just that discussion, so if you’re tired of hearing about the NSA, Snowden, the CitizenFour documentary, or internet security, then you’re gonna hate this. But, in all likelihood, there’s some new and interesting information and discussion here that you’ve probably not heard before.
