THE DEER HUNTER

Michael, Nick and Steven are lifelong friends who work in the mill, hang out at the local bar, and bond on regular deer hunts in the mountains. Before they ship out to Vietnam, they celebrate Steven’s wedding and take one last trip together, completely unaware of how the war will destroy their innocence. In Vietnam, they are thrown into brutal combat and captivity that leaves them physically and emotionally scarred, and for the survivors, it becomes almost impossible to ever truly find their way back home.

Craig, Elisabeth and guest Blake Casselman talk about post-Vietnam attitudes, trauma bonding, the streaming premiere of “Limbo” and the movie “The Deer hunter” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
