Veterans Day Special: A Thin Red Line & All Quiet on the Western Front

Honoring Veterans Day, Chris and Jerome dedicate this episode to discussing two renowned war films - 'All Quiet on the Western Front' (2022) and 'The Thin Red Line' (1998). They offer an in-depth study of the plotlines, character arcs, and cinematography, highlighting each movie's symbolic messages about the horrors and futility of war. 

Notable topics discuss include the impact of 'Thin Red Line' on Jim Caviezel's career, Scorsese's appreciation for the film, Felix Kammerer's outstanding debut in 'All Quiet on the Western Front', and the profound visual effects of the films. Drawing comparisons with other noteworthy war movies, like Saving Private Ryan, they also discuss the emotional performances in both films. 

Toward the end, around the 1:13:00 mark, they go off the rails and talk about Tropic Thunder and the edited video short of when the Avengers started doing background checks. You can watch that video here: https://youtube.com/shorts/mc7KddvGef8?si=skQ5SmsT9Qs--VF3

They finish with a friendly “Six Degrees” actor-linking game. Add a dash of banter, with a side discussion on different drinks, and you've got a unique blend of film analysis, war history, and casual conversation. So, grab a drink and dive into the world of war cinema!
