Tobruk Double Feature!!

Trobruk
A very snotty Dan and Simon are off to North Africa and this very good 2008 Czechoslovakian film directed by Václav Marhoul of the brilliant 'The painted Bird" fame. And a chance to win your very own copy of Commando comic book!!!
Customer Reviews
Can’t Believe More People Don’t Follow
These guys are terrific and I can’t believe they don’t have more listeners. You may remember Dan Stewart as Rafe in Blunt Talk. He and Simon take on iconic WWII films from the build up forward with a British point of view. Their banter is hilarious while they highlight the best and worst of this war’s movies. From this pod, I’ve been able to find great films. Subscribe and enjoy!
