Paths of Glory

For Screen and Country ·

2024/05/13

This week, the fellas return to the muddy pit of 1917 in Stanely Kubrick's Paths of Glory, and boy howdy do they ever get a twofer! It's a war movie upfront and a courtroom drama in the caboose! When you talk about value, Stan gives it to you in a neat 90-or-so-minute package. That's why they always called him Value Kubrick! (Ed. note: they did not. No one ever did.)

Stalag 17

For Screen and Country ·

2024/04/29

When Jason reached out and asked me, retired and also dead crooner, Dean Martin, to say a few words about Stalag 17, I was confused, as I had nothin' to do with the picture, jack. I wasn't even in the service for very long, myself. Hernia, they told me. It was at that point that he got real hot and some words flew around and we settled things with a bottle of the good stuff. Eventually, I was able to sneak out after agreeing to write this. I'm nothing if not a man of my word. So, buddy-o, lemme set

Days of Glory

For Screen and Country ·

2024/04/22

Back to the list this week as the Two Dudes with Attitudes talk all about Days of Glory, a film that exposes the racism of the French troops as they treated their colonial soldiers like garbage during WWII.

Hitler's Madman

For Screen and Country ·

2024/04/15

Reinhard Heydrich sucks. Like real bad. Like he's in blue ribbon contention at the Nazi 4H show. You know... where kids raise Nazis themselves and show them off at the Exhibition before sending them off to slaughter as a character-building exercise? We're getting off track here. Big picture: He sucked so bad that people killed him. He needed killin', sure, but it also cost the world the village of Lidice. Is this the ultimate portrayal of this man's fall? Or little more than a well-intentioned

Heartbreak Ridge

For Screen and Country ·

2024/04/08

This week, the fellas take in another Clint Eastwood joint but this one likely forgotten in the annals of time - Heartbreak Ridge.

Gettysburg

For Screen and Country ·

2024/04/01

Brendan's mentor and dear personal friend Ronny Maxwell makes a big blue-gray splash in 1993's Gettysburg: the story of the pivotal American Civil War battle and the various monologues and wistful bittersweet remembrances that changed a nation. Ronny gives the war a grandeur steeped in myth and Lost Cause attitudes (though nowhere near its embarrassing sequel Gods and Generals) and some of the most careless beard-work in recent memory. Jason monologues, Brendan listens and in the end, they both die

The Zone of Interest

For Screen and Country ·

2024/03/18

Jonathan Glazer returns to the fold on this week's special presentation! Not content with the worlds of sexy criminal maniacs and sexy alien maniacs, the venerable director turns his sights on those decidedly unsexy, genocidal maniacs - The Nazis with 2023's The Zone of Interest! The banality of evil - a murder machine run by boring people in a boring society shutting out the horrors around them either by learned ignorance or sheer force of will. Nazis suck.Next week: Thomas Mapother Cruise makes

Plus: a debate about the "murky" look of the film.Next week: A new movie! Oscar-nominated! Questions? Comments? Suggestions? You can always shoot us an e-mail at forscreenandcountry@gmail.com Full

Men in War

For Screen and Country ·

2024/02/26

This week, the fellas head to 1950s Korea with the Anthony Mann film Men in War! They debate if the movie takes Benson or Montana's point of view in terms of battle conduct and then discuss other topics like the career of James Edwards and the unfortunate "legacy" of Stepin Fetchit, the movie infuriating the Pentagon, the use (and absence) of music and much more.Next week: It's gonna get good, bad and...

Rescue Dawn

For Screen and Country ·

2024/01/29

Continuing right along, the guys discuss the pre-Vietnam War film set in Laos... Rescue Dawn. Is this Werner Herzog's most straight-forward conventional film? What connection did he find between himself and the man being portrayed by Christian Bale in Dieter Dengler? Is the portrayal of Gene DeBruin really, really awful? What sort of rigorous torture did the cast put themselves through? All this and more this week on the show, show, here we go! Next week: John Wayne's debut on the pod. Questions

Napoleon (2023)

For Screen and Country ·

2024/01/15

After wrapping up our first 20 films on the list last week, we thought it would be a good idea to do something different: take a trip to the CINEMAAAAA! This week, the guys took in the new Ridley Scott epic - Napoleon. Does Jason have a spicy hot take on one of the main performances in this film? Was the movie trying to cover too much of Napoleon's life? Why does Ridley Scott love the colour blue so much? Napoleon seems to be really into dead people? Hmm? Plus: some movie trailer talk.
