    The Cruel Sea (1953)

    The Cruel Sea (1953)

    As a tribute to Robbie's late father, this week the boys look back at his favourite film - the 1953 Ealing Studios masterpiece 'The Cruel Sea'. Often cited as one the the best war movies from that golden age of 1950s British cinema. Directed by Charles Frend, based on Nicholas Monsarrat's book and starring Jack Hawkins, Donald Sinden, and Denholm Elliot, the film documents the wartime service of a Royal Navy corvette and her crew during the battle of the Atlantic. Brutal, hard-hitting, and timeless, join us to find out why we love this film so much.

    Civil War (2024)

    Civil War (2024)

    We are back from our short break as we bring you our thoughts on Alex Garland’s 'Civil War', which sees a group of photojournalists attempting a road trip to DC amidst an ongoing American civil war. The film throws the audience in at the deep end but it becomes clear that the war has broken out between a corrupt president and breakaway states.
    Join us as we delve into the movie's themes and how it tackles a civil war in modern America.

Great pod!

Love to hear other tales on my favorite war films and to learn about quite a few that are new to me.

Great podcast

Recently discovered the podcast, I’m a classic movie junkie and love old war movies and westerns. Very entertaining and great range of films covered so far. Actually have put me on to some I have not seen before, this podcast may be bad for the wallet as I’ve already ordered 3 dvds as a result 😁

Gets Into Niche Details Without Glamorizing War

War movies are an interesting genre and few subjects bring about as many emotions from veterans and civilians alike. This podcast covers some classics and some forgotten films, and examine not just the movies as a whole but with an expert’s eye towards the equipment and tactics. Some of the most enjoyable movies are the least technically correct (although Red Notice shows this is not a rule) and some of the behind the scenes stuff is super interesting. A variety of guests keep the conversation going. Looking forward to future episodes and hope some of my own personal favs get the FoF treatment.
