This week The Reel Take goes to War! But because we are delicate souls we have elected to encase ourselves in several inches of armored plating and cocoon in a massive mobile killing machine designed only for destruction.

On the suggestion of a loyal listener, this episode we will be discussing the 1998 film The Beast (also known as The Beast of War), the story of the crew of a Soviet tank who take a wrong turn at Albuquerque during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and find themselves surrounded by hostiles, both without and within.

But not satisfied with just one film, we also discuss the very best cinema has to offer when it comes to tanks. Surprisingly, there's not too many, but we manage to unearth a few doozies.
