February 15, 2021 First Blood (1982)
This week A Cosmic Void podcasts on one of the most influential action movies ever made: First Blood. If you haven't seen it, it's not what you think. Rambo mostly keeps his shirt on, he doesn't kill anyone, and he's fighting a Sheriff in Washington state. This movie looks at how police departments and militaries abuse their power over people. We also explore the dark side of the film's legacy as lone wolf types have flocked to it. And that's barely getting into the conversation Jeremiah Perez and Alex Biggs Small have around the film.
