Episode 170: Red Dawn

from Exploding Helicopter Hosted by Exploding Helicopter

“And grab some toilet paper – I ain’t gonna use no leaves” On this episode of Exploding Vertical Take Off and Landing Aircraft we look at a film heralded as one of the most right-wing movies ever made, RED DAWN (1984). After the Soviet Union and their allies invade the good ol’ USA, it is up to a ragtag collection of teenagers to kick some Commie arse. We marvel at Lea Thompson’s guerrilla chic, Harry Dean Stanton’s guide to good parenting, and – of course – the exploding vertical take-off and landing aircraft action. Joining me behind enemy lines on this show is the DTV Connoisseur himself, Matt Poirier. Episode 170.
