It's time to discuss Red Cliff, the movie so big that it takes two episodes to talk about... even though this is a shorter episode. ..
Look... the movie is 5 hours, okay? We're only HUMAN!
Next week: the rest of the movie.

Two men. One island. Stranded and their countries at war, they have a choice: continue fighting that war here in the middle of nowhere or set aside their differences to survive. Hell, the movie has Toshiro Mifune and Lee Marvin. That's reason enough to watch it!
Next week: WOO!

Is it his masterpiece? Maybe! Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is next on the docket. Does the movie take place in QT's alternate history multiverse? Is this the best career-launching performance in film history (Christoph Waltz)? Does the Mike Myers cameo work? How about that delightfully self-indulgent final line? All this and more!
Next week: no man is an island.

The boys are back in town! This week, the fellas revisit the Afghanistan crew from Restrepo with the documentary "sequel" Korengal. The guys question if a sequel can just be a selection of deleted scenes from the original film and then discuss masculinity and homoeroticism in the military along with a slew of other topics!
Next week: alternate history!
