The Last Faction Heroes Part 3: The Occasionalists vs The Misinformation Machine

We are back to complete The Last Faction Heroes trilogy for Factual February.
This time, we're doing battle with The Misinformation Machine.
We try to pinpoint who is responsible for the vast amount of misinformation readily available through all sorts of media outlets. We profile those most likely to share false info (spoiler alert: it's you!) and even give some examples of some egregiously bad information that gets digested by both mainstream and fringe audiences alike.
Is this the magic bullet for misinformation? Of course not, but it's a start. 

The Last Faction Heroes: Part 2

Part two of our action movie falsehoods is live!
We take aim at some classic action movie scenes (explosions, car chases, etc.) and break them down to determine where the truth was stretched for the sake of movie magic.
We also discuss the most egregiously inaccurate action movie of all time: Armageddon.

The Last Faction Heroes: Part 1

Factual February is here!
The Occasionalists take on and examine movie realism, specifically, how real are action movies?
Do certain movies suffer because of their lack of verisimilitude? Or is a must to suspend disbelief for all movies where a hero is an unstoppable human weapon?
We dig into all that and much more in the first part of The Last Faction Heroes!
