Ryan and Nathan are at odds on this one. Is it a delightful rage fantasy against the Reagan administration and their scapegoating of Oliver North, or is it a Thin Blue Line-championing, tone deaf celebration of hypocrites who are far too willing to turn their weapons on their fellow officers? The Last of the Finest is the name and it features Brian Dennehy, Joe Pantoliano, Jeff Fahey and Bill Paxton as an elite unit of skull busters who find themselves alone in their crusade against a corrupt government official who is trading guns for drugs and warping the LAPD in the process.If you'd like to send us questions for future shows or advocate for a Director in our new Showdown segment, email [email protected] or [email protected] We are also on Hive and Instagram, okvideopodcast, and BlueSky, OKVideo.
