Seanax.comFebruary 12, 2016As Christopher Hitchens puts it, "There's nothing feigned about their mutual animosity. They really do despise each other."
Film ExperienceJanuary 20, 2016Simultaneously documenting the on-and-off air sparring matches for audiences too young to remember them, but also chart their place in the history of modern political discourse make this a nourishing and entertaining documentary.
