    GODSPEED, SPIDER-MAN!

  • Platoon

    We're back with a new season! This time we're competing in the Tour De Dafoe -  a dive into the prolific career of one Mr. Willem Dafoe. First up, it's 1986's Platoon and all the complicated feelings that a war movie can drum up.

    Is this a movie worth making? 
    How should we grapple with our past crimes? 
    Perhaps most importantly: would you smoke from the barrel of Willem Dafoe's weed gun?
