Episode 35
We close out our “Walking the Fine Line” theme with 1982’s First Blood, the first film to feature John Rambo, as portrayed by Sylvester Stallone. Karl’s shakeup this week was that his film must feature a major social commentary, and this one certainly fits the bill. The film tells the story of Rambo, who is trying to return to a normal life after returning from Vietnam, only to run afoul of local sheriff (played by Brian Dennehy) who wants him out of town.
In this episode we discuss the treatment of Vietnam vets after returning home, as well as how we would fare if we had to survive in the woods for an extended period of time.
