Flashback Double Feature: Saving Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line

We're back! This week we are talking about the two big WWII movies from 1998, The Thin Red Line and Saving Private Ryan. It's a good talk that gives each film their own space, while also finding plenty of room to compare and contrast the two. Bottom line, they are both beautifully crafted and take a look at the horrors of war from different angles; the cerebral and the physical tolls. Download. Listen.
