Hi this is Steve. With the release of Christopher Nolan's film Dunkirk last week

there has been a lot of talk about World War II films and John and I thought it would be a

great idea to explore one on the cinephiles. The problem is, which one? After all, there have probably been

more movies made about World War II than any war in history. Should we try something heavy

like saving Private Ryan or the Thin Red Line?

A great character study like Patton or a comedy like Stolic 17.

There was also films about civilians caught up in the war like Casablanca.

Oh, and then there's the amazing bridge on the River Quai.

Or we could dig into Holocaust films like Schindler's List, The Piano, and life is beautiful.

Truth is just saying the names of great movies like this gets me excited for future episodes.

But this week, John and I wanted to dig into something fun.

And since this year is the 50th anniversary we decided to do one of the

classic testosterone-filled ensemble films of the 60s. The Dirty

Dozens starring Lee Marvin, Charles Bronson, John Cassavetes, Ernest Borg 9, George

Kennedy, Telly Savales, and both Jim Brown and Donald Sutherland in the roles that

made them stars is rebellious, violent challenging and a whole lot of fun.

So that's the dirty dozen this Friday on the cinnophiles.

You have all volunteered for a mission which gives you just three ways to go.

Either you can file up in training and be shipped back here for immediate execution of sentence,

or you can file up in combat, in which case I will personally blow your brains out or you can do as you're told in which case you might just get by

You must not attempt to escape there will be excuses, there will be no appeal. Any breach of

either of these conditions by any one of you means that you will all be shipped right
