May 16, 2022 B7E4 The Spectacle of Slaughter
This week on Reel War Project Charles, Aaron Eli discuss Batch 7: The Spectacle of Slaughter. Does adding blood make a war movie more critical? Is having a cis-het-white-settler-soldier-hero enough to make an anti-war movie a kind of apologetic? What is the deal with bullets plinking into trays?

May 09, 2022 B7E3 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
This week on Reel War Project Charles, Aaron Eli discuss Michael Bay’s 13 Hours: The Secret Soldier of Benghazi.
