This week, we review the Nicolas Cage action/heist drama, "National Treasure."

 - Why did one co-host compare this movie to the TV show "Stargate: SG-1"?

 - Who loved this movie, who disliked this movie, and what did the remaining co-host think?

 - What weird way did Todd find for working in a J. Michael Straczynski reference?  And, could both the other co-hosts pronounce Straczynski?

 - During what tangent did one co-host completely space out?

 - How did one co-host compare this movie to "The Princess Bride," and which co-host seemed offended by that?

 - Which co-host(s) appreciated the American history, lore, and geography, that went into this movie?

 - Which co-host(s) appreciated the clues & codebreaking in the movie?

 - How well did this movie earn its kid-safe PG rating?

 - Which co-host described one aspect of this movie as majestic and the movie as a whole as making the watcher think?

 - Why was there not a third movie in this franchise?

 - Where were Dave, Todd, and Andruw, on vacation at the very start of the pandemic (as in the first weekend that cancellations started and grocery store shelves looked raided).

 - And, which co-host worked in a random reference to "The Death of 'Superman Lives': What Happened?" a documentary directed by the late John Schnepp about a failed movie written by Kevin Smith, to be directed by Tim Burton, and that was to star Nicolas Cage as a long-haired Superman.
