Are the Brits simply too evil in this movie? And should we expect anything else from a Roland Emmerich/Mel Gibson movie? We take a look at The Patriot (2000) in this episode, going through the history, discussing the accuracies, inaccuracies and this movie's astonishing portrayal of slavery in 18th Century America.

We take a look at the depiction of the British, particularly Jason Isacc's Tavington and the real life inspiration; Banastre Tarleton. And would Kevin Spacey have played the part better?

Plus: Mel's $25 million pay day, chronically bad child acting, super violent scripts and Steven Gerrard's favourite cheese.
