A24's Warfare: Brutal & Honest (episode 98)

In this episode, we review A24’s Warfare (2025) from Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza: a brutally grounded and emotionally honest war film that refuses to glorify combat. We talk about the movie’s raw realism, its courage in showing soldiers as real people rather than indestructible heroes, and how its chaotic, unromantic vision of modern warfare makes it one of the most memorable films of the year. At the end of the day, Warfare is a portrait of war as a total mess, a place where everyone just wants to make it home alive.
