Ep. 385: Olympus Has Fallen (2013)

On Episode 385 of the GenreCast, we're celebrating 8 years of this monstrosity. And, it's only fitting that we come full circle to another siege film as we take a look back at 2013's Olympus Has Fallen. We try our best not to call it White House Down, but mistakes do happen. The movie features a tarnished secret serviceman looking for redemption after the White House is overrun by terrorists. We're talking nationalism, ideology, geopolitics, the failures of the film, and much more as we bring Olympus Has Fallen to the analysis table.  Time Stamps 00:30 - Introductions and Synopsis 04:19 - Quick Olympus Has Fallen Reviews 21:42 - Expanding the Syllabus 40:37 - Analysis 58:50 - Shelf or Trash 1:00:18 - Wrap Up & Next Week's Movie
