On this episodes, the guys discuss two films in Hart's filmography that are troubling to discuss, not only due to lack of film material availble on both titles, but also due to the subject matter. Those films being the controversial The Aryan, which surives retitled and potentially incomplete, as well as The Captive God, which is only commercially available as an abridged one-reeler under the title Rival Tribes, both films are from 1916.
