3 minTim has Dana pull up the actual Eye in the Sky movie trailer so they can react live to its drone-strike moral dilemma plot, mocking its overwrought hand-wringing over collateral damage.
- 49:28Tim wants to watch the Eye in the Sky trailer because it's funny in a dark way.
- 50:26The level of confirmation military officials supposedly need before striking is absurd—they'll blow things up on a whim.
- 50:53A general came to witness a capture, not a targeted assassination, but the military pushes to fire a Hellfire missile immediately.
- 51:12The conflict escalates: officials argue the mission is at risk because of one collateral damage concern.
- 52:17Tim jokes that the drone could just as easily be over a street in Detroit and the response would be the same—blow it up, blow it up.
