Breaks are Important (A solo episode)

A special episode this week with just me, Patrick, the person who usually writes these descriptions in the third person.
I gave Gene the week off because he's a hard-working lad, and he deserves it. So please enjoy a solo episode about coming home from Afghanistan, and how that experience feels similar to today, as we see the end of the tunnel with Covid.
Not a terribly long episode, but I hope it'll hold you over till next week when we tackle our first actual war film.
It's gonna be a real goof.

Previous Episode

Kong, Skull Island

This week we put the superheroes aside and watched Kong Skull Island, a movie about the cast of marvel fighting King Kong. What does it have to say about war? Quite a lot, surprisingly.
But you'll have to wait for that, because Gene and Pat are off on several different tangents, and got banned from TikTok live for a whole day for having the, frankly, necessary conversation about whether King Kong would have a massive dong.
Come join us for a lot of goofs and gaffes, and then a serious conversation about Vietnam, coming home from war, violence, and trauma.

Next Episode

Saving Private Ryan (Our First 'War'movie)

It only took 28 episodes, but we finally decided to cover a war movie. Saving Private Ryan was trending over the weekend, so we thought we'd look back on this cinematic legacy.
Come join us for a discussion where Pat deflects with humor while Gene gets progressively sleepier! One of our most comedic episodes, because what better way to process all these war feelings than a juvenile fart joke.
At some point, we get into some great discussions about the matter at hand.
