Dead Poets Society (1989) dir. Peter Weir
Charlie called this paying homage to what we did last season, but on crack. This time around, I think the story’s just very different. Last year, that hallway fight, he was tired, already beaten, broken, hurt, but he comes through to save this child. Here, this is more - as the showrunners describe it - more of a descent into hell. He’s challenged by Frank Castle not to cross that line, but you feel like he might actually cross it as he’s moving down into hell. - Phil Silvera

The Jungle Book (1967)
On this day, 2 May 1967, a group of Black Panthers armed with rifles and shotguns marched into the California State Capitol protesting against a gun control bill which was targeting them. To fight police violence and harassment against African-Americans, the Panthers used radios to listen to police calls, then members would attend scenes of arrest with law books and openly carrying shotguns – which was legal – and advise arrestees of their constitutional rights. To stop this self defence against the police, authorities brought in the Mulford Bill – dubbed the “Panther Bill” by the media – to ban the open carrying of loaded firearms in public. The National Rifle Association supported Republican governor Ronald Reagan in signing the legislation.
