    I’m 53 and when I was a freshman in college and JFK came out, it was absolutely 1,000,000% understood as a conspiracy theory movie and Oliver stone 1,000,000% has that reputation.

    I was late to discover this podcast and am so glad I did. Perfect amount of information and levity. It also feels really good to discover truths about things I grew up thinking I understood. Some have been absolutely mind blowing.

Q: What is the Warren Commission and why was it formed?
