In the second of a fresh batch of mind-bending Reel Politiks and first of a two-parter, the band celebrate the career of the Clash, as well as their piss-based threats against journalists. This episode focuses on the band's landmark triple-disc excursion into just about all the types of music from around the world that inspired them, with the next zoning in on Combat Rock and their breakup. The original RP trio talk the anti-imperialism of Washington Bullets, film director Alex Cox's attempt to save Nicaragua from the forces of reaction, and what an insufferable tosser James O'Brien is.
