Summary

War movies: one of the core genres of the cinema. From the earliest days of the form, filmmakers have been trying to capture and comment on war.

Join Adam Pranica, Benjamin Harrison, and John Roderick for Friendly Fire the war movie podcast that answers all these questions and more. In this special preview episode, they review their own podcast in anticipation of its release!
