S3E6 - Doctor Zhivago (1965)

Episode Notes

S3 E6: Doctor Zhivago


Anna attempts to remember a book she read last summer; Rachel
laments film adaptations again; Frank offers some ideas for
propaganda; we all agree that this 1965 anti-Soviet film is a
disappointment, but we still find things we can learn from it.
