Truman and Landen wrap up the loose ends from War Horse (2011) — a movie where Spielberg unleashes maximum sincerity, maximum sunsets, and a horse so noble it could probably negotiate peace treaties. They revisit the film’s stray thoughts, historical oddities, and emotional haymakers… and as always, they play The Trailer Game, trying to guess what images the marketing team deemed “horse-forward” enough to sell the film before watching the trailer for the first time.

Next week, the Machine sends them to June 15, 2018 with the clue: "We don't stop playing because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing." Frankly, it sounds like the Machine has traded in mud-slicked trenches for something equally chaotic.
