“Very good, in-depth look at war movies. Much more than a scene by scene breakdown of a film, but an objective discussion about the film, the production, the themes and objectives of each film relative to the subject matter and the environment they were made in, and made to represent.

I love the dynamic backgrounds from the hosts that all come to the films from a different perspective, but they are all related to the material discussed: a film critic, a military veteran, and a theater actor and director. So, you...”Read full review »

“But close, hosts are just ok.Count on them not liking much. The woman is especially out of place.But let’s face it there isn’t much available in this genre.
Worth listening to for free definitely not going to pay for premium. Call it 2 1/2 stars”

“These guys had me hooked once I listened to the first episode. They don’t just examine the film as a film but present the history displayed in the film and explain what accuracies and inaccuracies exist. Definitely worth a listen.”

War films being such an important and thought provoking part of our history makes for a great foundation to select films that will take anyone on a trip out of their living room and into another world....”Read full review »

“Great idea, needs some minor polish......
Using the word “like” every second word is really distracting and somewhat grating to listen to. As is pronouncing “didn’t” as “ditn”. But with a few little tweaks here and there, which will likely happen organically over time, you may just have a viable...”Read full review »

“Danger Close is a worthy and entertaining successor to Friendly Fire. The varied perspectives of the hosts are entertaining in the show is both informational and fun. The episodes are dauntingly long, which is the only real knock, but they do fill that runtime with great content!”
