They Were Expendable

For Screen and Country Podcast

The Duke is back and this time, he's very patriotic! Wait... what do you mean "this time?" Uhh... anyway, this week the guys discussed the John Ford WWII film They Were Expendable centering on some PT boats following the attack on Pearl Harbor. The guys discuss if this John Wayne performance is worth anything, the character "Dad" who seemingly wandered in from another movie, the delightful Donna Reed and much more. Plus: a LOT of bad John Wayne impressions.

Next week: two ways you can run!
