Summary
Cathy and Todd discuss A Few Good Men, a courtroom drama set inside the military justice system about power, loyalty, and what happens when following orders starts to feel wrong. They go through their usual categories, talk about why the movie still works all these years later, and give props to Jo Galloway who was dismissed for being “too much,” yet was right all along. The share why this film hit so hard for people who grew up learning the rules and then had to decide when to question them. PLUS they spend the first 10 minutes discussing the Chicago Bears – Bear Down!

I know, so I got a feeling there's four left. We might. Well, we, I know that next is the sure thing. I thought we're going to end with the sure thing. No. Okay, sure things next. And then the other two I have are misery and Princess Bride. Oh, I didn't know we were doing Princess Bride. Well, I couldn't think of any, because there's obviously really good Rob Reiner films, but we've done when Harry Met Sally, we've done the American President, we've done stand by me, we haven't done The Shining. I don't forget it. That's not Robin. Yeah. Messing up. And that's, that's, I'm forgetting, Stephen King. Yeah. |
