Bonus episode! On this Veteran's Day (or Remembrance Day, if you're a fellow Canadian), Ryan offers up another unexpected vocal essay, this time about a marine who's killed during a hazing that goes terribly wrong. Everybody in Rob Reiner's cast---led by an enthusiastic and charismatic Tom Cruise---is good or at least solid in this film, but A Few Good Men belongs to Jack Nicholson. His uber-famous "you can't handle the truth" monologue has a lot more going for it than just being a classic movie rant. The point of this episode is to dig deeper into that speech and to look past his reputation as a great villain to see the shades of grey in not only him, but in the two young men he ordered to "train" a substandard marine. So don't let a jarhead give you a Code Red. Just be crystal clear about my orders and download this one-man show about A Few Good Men.
Oh, and to share your thoughts about this or any other podcast we've ever done, tweet me or Bev while that's still an option (@moviefiend51 and @bevellisellis) or email us ([email protected]).
