Chris Paul and Burning Bright break down the 2025 film Warfare, a brutally realistic portrayal of modern combat reconstructed from the memories of the soldiers who lived it. Rather than glorifying battle, the film strips away the mythology of heroism and focuses on the chaos, confusion, and irreversible consequences of war on the men caught inside it.

The conversation explores the film’s unique production style, the psychological toll of combat, and the uncomfortable moral questions that emerge when war is viewed from multiple perspectives. Along the way, Chris and Burning Bright connect the story to larger themes about narrative control, propaganda, and the information war shaping public perception of global conflicts. From the Iraq War to modern geopolitical tensions, the episode asks whether the stories societies tell about war reveal truth or simply reinforce the narratives people want to believe.
