World War Brew

Episode 12 -- '71


Listen Later

Just in time for St. Patrick's Day, the World War Brew boys review the movie "'71" (now streaming for free on Hulu and Amazon Prime). This movie/film follows the exploits of British Army Private Gary Hook (played by Jack O'Connell) as he tries to survive a single day in war torn Belfast in 1971.  Topics covered include the Northern Irish Conflict ("The Troubles"), the HBO series "Euphoria" (for some reason), John Lennon song lyrics, and which of the WWB hosts would survive the longest in Belfast. This episode's drink is Guinness (because...of course). Happy St. Patrick's Day to all of our listeners!
