S6E6 - #95: Full Metal Jacket (1987)

Episode Notes This week some trigger warnings to start: racial slurs, violence, abusive behavior – it’s a return to Kubrick this week as we discuss #95 on AFI’s thrills list – Full Metal Jacket. The Vietnam critique is one of the rougher watches, especially in light of current world events, but the filmmaking stands out, as do a couple of iconic performances. We discuss the placement on the list and the jarring format of the film overall.     Recommendations: The Adam Project (Netflix)   Next up: The China Syndrome (1979)   Email us at [email protected] Twitter: @latecomerspod Find Amity @ www.amityarmstrong.com and @AmityArmstrong on Twitter Our Facebook group is here for those who consent: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1754020081574479/ This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
