    The film is awesome and so is the review, Ruben is hilarious. Also the Japanese actor didn’t spend any time with Jack O’Connell who played Zamperini because he wanted to able to really act hateful without knowing him because that would cloud his mind during his performance.

    I think having guests come hang out and speak a little is a great idea. I like you three *in a platonic way* but I think differing guests will make each episode vibe differently and I think it would keep things fresh and it might attract more viewers too. I always joke about my “production value” in a sarcastic way but you guys have a really good thing going here. Hope it continues & grows

    Good review guys. Don’t know if you’ve seen it, but there’s an old movie with Gregory Peck called Twelve O’clock High that, I believe, is still shown to cadets at the Air Force Academy to this day for leadership instruction. It’s about the WW2 Army Air Corps side of things. These guys had it bad, worse than I would’ve thought. These guys were assigned a fixed number of missions they had to complete before being eligible to return home. The chance of surviving all of them was slim. Check it out when you get a chance..great movie.

    • @schiz0phren1c
      @schiz0phren1c Před rokem

      @Johnny Boy That's a great Movie!,
      Catch 22(Book and Film) make a heavy mention of the Missions "flown and needed to be flown" aspect of Piloting being gnarly as hell and rough on people too.
      There is a strange perception that Air Force people had it easy in comparison.
      All areas of War have their own unique and common difficulties!.

  • @ConservativeTeacherReacts

    When do we continue the Band of Brothers series? In the Unbroken book, the sharks were a huge part of the story. He was constantly fending off Oceanic Whitetips with his paddle, and at one point a massive great white shark came to investigate his raft! The book is so much better than the movie...

  • @michaelmcclung407
    @michaelmcclung407 Před rokem +1

    WWII Bomber crews actually did have exit strategies- "bail out procedures" and WERE issued parachutes, the problem is that parachutes are bulky to wear, and it wasn't practical to wear in the tight small spaces. Imagine trying to wear your rucksack inside a tank. So many kept them under their seats and prayed they'd be able to still be alive and put it on and follow the bail-out-procedures.

    I read about a group of german soldiers who were made prisioners when Stalingrad front surrended and they were separeted in 10 men groups. Each group got a cabbage to eat every day, so, if a man died in the group they got less cabbage. So a german doctor came up with the idea of making the dead stand in formation every day to be counted as living so they could still get a whole cabbage per group. It was freezing cold in siberia so they kept the bodies in pretty good shape and they hold them during formatios. Russians werent very thorough counting, they just wanted to get in to their own cabbins and go to drink vodka. Greetings from Argentina.

    There is definitely a difference in landing style when your flying on a plane that’s flown by naval aviators as opposed to air force pilots. Air Force definitely seems to float the plane down where as naval aviators put the plane down on the ground hard and fast and keep it down. Difference between runway training and carrier training for sure

    Love all the additional stories, and love the idea of guests on the show. The single criticism I have is the cost of tier 3. I’d love to support you folks, but 25 bucks to hear the uncensored versions is just too much a month. Regardless, you guys are awesome.
