Good, Common Sense Critique
Robbie and Matthew are two historical firearms experts as well as avid film enthusiasts. They have an expansive view on that much-abused subgenera: the war movie. Many cultural studies on war films discuss the whys and wherefores of fictionalizing or popularizing war in TV and film, but they never discuss the actual accoutrement - ‘the kit’ as the two savvy British critics put it - of war-making. This is often overlooked. Not that they’re lost in minutiae, no, they thoroughly research - offering listeners the genesises of screenplays, when produced, by whom, and to what immediate purpose. Knowledgeable and fun, their laid-back conversation, a type of cool bonhomie, makes for good commonsense critiques of both obscure and mainstream war films.
