This week Charles and Aaron record their final episode of Season One, looking back at the batch on Normandy. We discuss a "classic epic", a "thoughtful critique", and a "roller coaster ride with zombies." The book would be "Grover Gets Killed at The End of This Book," he would get into a Higgins boat, and then we turn the page. Thanks for listening to Season One of Reel War!

This week on Reel War Project Charlie and Aaron continue Batch 11 on Normandy with 1975's Overlord. We talk about "The Falling Soldier" photo, using war footage with horror tropes to resist war, moving bodies (until there is nothing left at all), and how we don't know where we are going until we are there. If you want a moving and critical war film you have to check this one out. Watch the movie FIRST, then tune in!
