It's another comedy this week as Michael and Frank talk about the Academy Award nominated film and AFI's 69th best movie of all time, Tootsie.

This week we continue with our look at the Sylvester Stallone "Rambo" action series with "Rambo: First Blood Part II".

The 1985 sequel in a way redefined the character of John Rambo, the troubled Vietnam vet, who this time goes back into the jungle to find and rescue several POW. The movie was heavily political, and turned Rambo into the quintessential 1980s action hero and symbolic figure of American patriotism.
