Friendly Fire

War movies: one of the core genres of the cinema. From the earliest days of the form, filmmakers have been trying to capture and comment on war. Do these films accurately represent the battles depict? And are they more useful as depictions of history, or as artifacts from the eras in which they were made? Do enough of them have Brian Dennehy? Join Adam Pranica, Benjamin Harrison, and John Roderick for Friendly Fire the war movie podcast that answers all these questions and more. In this special preview episode, they review their own podcast in anticipation of its release!

Love and miss the podcast. The two younger dudes can definitely get cringy with the uwu woke stuff but over all really funny and entertaining. Definitely does feel like a conversation amongst friends.

I saw a lot of great films I never would have without this podcast, so for that I’m thankful. It’s a shame they cancelled themselves due to silly stuff on Twitter. My guys ranked: Adam (the Everyman) John (the Historian) Ben (the Pedant)
