Captain Phillips - Free-market Film Analysis

We're the captains now, with our pal Jared Wall of Breaking Liberty.  This is a Valentine's Day episode for us, which we will elaborate on during the show.  Everything is going to be OK. In April 2009, the U.S. containership Maersk Alabama sails toward its destination on a day that seems like any other. Suddenly, Somali pirates race toward the vessel, climb aboard and take everyone hostage. The captain of the ship, Richard Phillips (Tom Hanks), looks to protect his crew from the hostile invaders, and their leader, Muse (Barkhad Abdi). The pirates are after millions of dollars, and Phillips must use his wits to make sure everyone survives and returns home safely. Join us next week on this same bat-channel, at this same bat-time as we bring back Shaheen to discuss Tim Burton's "Batman" from 1989 starring Michael Keaton and Jack Nicholson.
