This week marks our 100th Episode – quite an accomplishment for what started out as a fifteen-minute single man show. We celebrate by discussing a few subjects we usually refrain from touching: Michael Moore and Tom Cruise. Is Sicko as good as everyone thinks? What has Michael Moore stolen from Cinema Blend? And who wins when Cruise faces off against Germany. All that and more in our 100th Episode!

I generally agree about your minor nitpickings with "Sicko" - but less so about the Cuban firefighters thing as 'manipulative' - ASSUMING the firefighters were the ones who set up the meeting, its newsworthy and important to show regardless who thinks its emotional to a fault.
As a Canadian, I can say a lot of us are baffled at some of the anti-Castro sentiment spreading to being anti Cuban whatsoever. I think it was very important that if Moore had footage of Cubans who like Americans, to show it.
Has Tyler contacted Moore asking for clarification on the site? I wouldnt assume that just because somethings on his site that Moore directly chose it or put it up the way it was. Do everything you can to clarify and find out who did what.
I haven't listened to the podcast (I usually listen Monday mornings while I run), so I may be talking out of the wrong side of my mouth here, but saw your comment and wanted to answer it.
Yes, I have contacted Michael Moore's site. No I haven't gotten a response from them yet. However, last week was a holiday week and I'm sure they get a TON of email. So maybe next week I'll hear something.
