Summary
<p>With Trump's indictment in the news, we thought it might be a good time to watch the movie that has been more influential on QAnon than any other: Ridley Scott's little-loved seafaring adventure WHITE SQUALL (1996).

"Where we go one, we go all!"</p><br /><p><em>Michael and Us</em> is a podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage.</p>
