Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In the brand new movie "Pressure," General Dwight Eisenhower has to decide whether to launch the D-Day invasion in the face of an incoming storm that could make it impossible to convey Allied troops across the English Channel. And to make things more complicated, his meteorologists can't agree on a weather forecast. Jim and Gary admire Eisenhower's leadership skills and discuss whether it's important to get all the details right in a movie made about an historical event.
