In the Fallacy in the Wild section, we check out examples from The Newsroom, Smallville, and Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Spin Doctoring - FT#190

As you know, we occasionally go back and take a second look at fallacies we've explored before, but we're never going to get to them all, and we keep seeing examples out there, so we thought we'd gather some together in some special episodes. Kind of like this one.

I watched the State of the Union so you don't have to (probably should have warned you in advance - sorry about that!), and I checked if anything Trump said was true.

Here's the result.

Sanctimony Fallacy - FT#189

Happy New Year! We're currently watching Airplane vs Volcano, a terrible Dean Cain movie, and breaking it down for our Patrons in great detail. In the spirit of the season, we thought it should be shared with more of you, so here's the second part of our breakdown, just in case you're interested. It's part scholarly film theory analysis, part snarky nitpicking, part exasperated diatribe.

There's a LOT to hate about this film, so there's plenty more on our Patreon at patreon.com/ftrump [http://patreon.com/ftrump] if you just can't get enough... We're sorry.

Airplane vs Volcano - part 2 (New Year Bonus)

Jim and Mark use the insane ramblings of a tiny-handed narcissist to explain
logical fallacies. Each episode we focus on a single logical fallacy and, using
examples from Trump, UK politics and pop culture, explore how and why it fools
people, how to avoid committing it yourself, and how to counter it in an
argument.
