    Ride With the Devil

    Who better to tell us about the civil war than the 90s, Ang Lee and the singer Jewel?! This week, the guys discuss Ride With the Devil, a film quintessentially 90s but all about the battle between the North and South! Does this movie have the most obvious 1990s casting of all-time and/or is it secretly brilliant to cast Tobey in the role of a literal outsider? The guys also discuss the notion of having an outsider perspective on this war, the revenge subplot that is promptly dropped, a wild Brooklyn Nine-Nine theory and much more. Next week: rank 'em!

    The Bridge

    Imagine - at the age of 15 or 16, you and your dumb friends were drafted into the army with one day of training. How would you handle that? It happened to boys all over Germany as the Allies advanced in 1945. Blinded by Nazi ideology and fueled by testosterone and machismo, a group of friends are ordered to defend an unimportant bridge as a favour to their beloved teacher. But when you go searching for a war... don't be surprised when you find one. This is DIE BRUCKE/THE BRIDGE. Next week: Civil War! 1999! Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

    Black Hawk Down

    What happens when you get Ridley Scott, the year 2001 and every single white male actor on the planet? Well, that's very specific so I guess you get Black Hawk Down. The guys discuss the confusion about all the similar faces and Ridley's noble attempt to make it easier for the viewers, they debate if there are any political opinions in the film and if they are drowned out by all the machismo and explosions, they discuss CGI usage in this movie versus now and much more. Next week: some German boys and a lot of sadness. Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

    Ice Cold in Alex

    A man's desire to quench his thirst is strong... strong enough to fend off bullets, Nazis and the desert itself. For some folks, a cold beer is a pleasure; for others, it is the only thing keeping them alive. What I'm saying is - please contact forscreenandcountry@gmail.com for instructions on how to send us free beer. We will give you a shout out (the universal currency of those with neither money nor shame). Also, this week we check out Ice Cold in Alex or whatever. Next week: A lot of white guy face-blindness!

    Restrepo

    Back to the list this week! This week, the fellas change gears and talk about a documentary on the Paste list - Restrepo. This is one intense close-quarters wartime coverage and the guys get into talking about the incredibly brave filmmakers, the lack of obvious narrative or bias, a very brutal on-screen emotional meltdown and much more.

    One Life

    What a doozy this week. We can't really be funny here. The story of Sir Nicholas Winton is simply a story that needs to be told. Hopefully this film and (in our own little way) our podcast covering it will bring more eyes to this part of history. Don't worry, we're as dumb as usual in the episode proper!

    Assassination

    This week, the boys once again return to one of the most evil Nazis this side of the Reichstag... that being Reinhard Heydrich and the stranglehold he maintained over Czechoslovakia. Thankfully, these films are about him being killed! And do we have a doozy for you this week - 1965's Assassination, an honest-to-God Czech film about the whole operation which also comes with a bonus of some Czech actors playing Brits with hilarious accents! The guys talk about the most accurate representation of Heydrich's demise, the interesting use of upbeat, jaunty music, the harrowing and violent final sequence and much more. Next week: going to the movies with Mr. Hopkins! Questions? Comments? Suggestions?
