Kelly's Heroes: Investigating the Secret Formula Behind a Timeless Classic

The NoName StoryTeller Podcast

In this experimental episode of The NoNaMe Storyteller Podcast, the gang takes on the role of storytelling detectives, breaking down the 1970 classic Kelly's Heroes to uncover the structure that makes it a successful, memorable movie that still holds up nearly 55 years later.

Joined by special guest co-hosts Mark Smylie and Patrick Banayo, they analyze the film's genre-bending brilliance, sharp social commentary, and unforgettable characterizations. Together, they investigate the story structure and thematic elements that continue to resonate with audiences across decades.

If this new format strikes gold, the team will return with another episode exploring a lesser-known gem—because every great movie has a story to tell.
