A PODCAST OF BLOOD, GUTS AND TEARS THAT WILL LEAVE AN INDELIBLE MARK ON YOUR SOUL! This week, Conrad and Shwin tackle the grisly 2022 German-language Netflix film, ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT, adapted by Edward Berger from the 1928 novel by Erich Maria Remarque, Im Westen nichts Neues. Topics include: 1) The messages of this film and how it differs from the novel; 2) Our favorite war movies including Steven Spielberg's SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, Jean Renoir's THE GRAND ILLUSION, Michael Cimino's DEER HUNTER, and whether or not Quentin Tarantino's INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS should be considered a "war movie"; 3) How the technological developments in how wars are fought influence the films that are made about war. If you want to call us with your takes, cases or just with general feedback, leave us a message at (818) 538-4966. We want to hear from you!
