And now it's time for something completely similar, folks. AKA we did another Ang Lee movie that one time. Anyhoo, this week the fellers discuss Ang Lee's wartime satire (?) Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. Is this a case of a source material's tone being lost in the adaptation? Why is Steve Martin in this movie? How does Vin Diesel go up against expectations and give the best performance in this movie (not a knock, it's a good one)?! Filming at 120 frames per second - why?

The boys dig in once again in 1937's The Road Back, a sequel to 1930's All Quiet on the Western Front lost to the midsts of time (with ample reason).

As soldiers return home, the government is in chaos, unrest is in the streets and the only thing that helps is some out-of-place comedy. Good luck, listener. Next week: What if the South won?

This week, the guys discuss Ride With the Devil, a film quintessentially 90s but all about the battle between the North and South!

This week on Dogs of War: the kitchen is heating up as Jason and Brendan go to pawn their DVD player for a copy of 2012's Iron Sky on DVD. The problem becomes obvious when they get home and Brendan's VHS player won't accept the disc; this means war. Jason has dug a trench and erected many machine guns around Brendan's home as Brendan prepares to send his tiny doggy, Max, to the moon in a homemade rocket to establish a beachhead for his family's new life.

Somewhere, his beloved wife Michiko is waiting, the one desperate hope left as Kaji plows south.

Through conversations with memory experts and wartime comrades, rendered in a distinct animated style, Ari begins to reveal a bigger picture of what he experienced in those years.
