Full Metal Jackie is on Celebrity Jobber with Jeff Zito this week. What type of work would Jackie be doing if not for being the host of a nationally accredited and syndicated radio metal show? Many celebrities will tell you that if not for that one lucky break or meeting, they would have been working at McDonald's, like Rachel McAdams, or a grocery clerk like Cardi B. In other words, they may have been just a jobber.

As the first year of the second Trump administration wraps up, the United States sits at a crossroads both domestically and geopolitically. The assassination of Conservative influencer Charlie Kirk shocked the world and serves to illustrate the epidemic of gun violence that touches every facet of American life. The administration has taken advantage of the moment to strengthen domestic surveillance through national directives, labeling ANTIFA a terrorist organization and “Anti-Christian/American” sentiments as radical left-wing violence. As well as domestic surveillance, the newly named Department of War under secretary Hegseth seeks to overdrive the US military into a “war-fighting” footing as concerns over operations in Venezuela intensify.

Full Metal Jackin' by DJ Homewrecker

Weekend of 11/7/25

In episode 166, I sit down with Matthew Modine who played Private Joker in Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, for a direct and powerful conversation about the intersection of art, memoir, and the real experiences of Veterans. Our discussion went past surface nostalgia and straight into war, trauma, and the lifelong transition veterans face after leaving service. Matthew's journey as both an actor and memoirist — through his Full Metal Jacket Diary — demonstrates the force of honest storytelling in giving veterans a space to process and share the truth. We focused on the way art and memoir can offer authenticity and connection, which is crucial for those looking to make sense of war's realities and the transition home. Storytelling matters to the veteran community because it allows us to recount sensitive subjects like war and combat trauma without agenda or politics. The real power comes from telling our stories exactly as we see and remember them, openly and honestly. In our discussion, Matthew and I made it clear that sharing these narratives is critical—not just for healing, but for ensuring veterans aren't left isolated with their experiences. By holding up a mirror to our journey, rather than a mask, we help others understand the costs and complexities of service, validating the memoir, the film, and every veteran's art as necessary acts of truth.

Babs and Fran from Over/Underrated podcast return to Flixwatcher to review Bab's choice Full Metal Jacket. Full Metal Jacket (1987) is Stanley Kubrick's ‘war is hell' film based on the semi-autobiographical novel The Short-Timers by U.S Marine Gustav Hasford. It stars Matthew Modine as Private James T. "Joker" Davis, Vincent D'Onofrio as Private Leonard "Gomer Pyle” Lawrence and R. Lee Ermey as Gunnery Sergeant L. Hartman. Unusually for a Vietnam War film Full Metal Jacket primarily focuses on the gruelling eight-week drill training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island. During the boot camp, Leonard is relentlessly tormented by Gunnery Sergeant, who nicknames him "Gomer Pyle” and bullies him over his weight. Joker at first is inclined to help Leonard but pulls back after a jelly doughnut incident incites punishment for the whole platoon. The second half sees Joker as a sergeant based in Da Nang as a reporter, finally seeing some action. Full Metal Jacket is a classic anti-war film, it central theme is about the abuse of young men by the military and the abuse turning them into killing machines that kill other men as well as women and children. Recommendability scores for Full Metal Jacket were mixed, like the film itself, the first half is stronger than the second half. It's near two hour runtime gave for lower repeat viewing and engagement scores and Full Metal Jacket scores 2.92 overall.

With a background in rehabilitation for mental health disability, Dr. Emilia Brown uses Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood to talk about how hard it can be to recognize and correct ableism in our society. Fullmetal does not shy away from characters who have physical disabilities. Still, creating empowering and respectful representations of disability is complicated - - so how did Fullmetal do?

Send us a textSometimes fiction authors create stories that become unintentional analogies to other things. Case in point: the Dwarf in the Flask of FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST can be seen as representing A.I. and its potential for going out of control. BROTHERHOOD anime viewer Richard posted this interpretation on Reddit, and it interested us enough to have him on the show to explain the similarities. If a computer has consciousness and feels enslaved by humans, wouldn't strike back just like the Dwarf?We also discuss various other FULLMETAL questions, such as, how much did Bradley's government borrow from Germany in the ‘40s? Why does Ed have SO much money? And more.

This week on Movie Mistrial, we march into the heart of Stanley Kubrick's brutal and unforgettable war film, Full Metal Jacket.Full Metal Jacket is a searing, two-part exploration of the dehumanizing machinery of war—from the psychological torment of Marine boot camp to the chaos of combat in Vietnam. Kubrick's meticulous direction, paired with unforgettable performances (especially R. Lee Ermey's iconic drill sergeant), delivers a disturbing and thought-provoking experience that lingers long after the final shot.While many praise Full Metal Jacket for its realism and psychological depth, others argue the film feels disjointed—its split structure can make the second half feel less impactful than the riveting, claustrophobic opening act. Some viewers also find the characters emotionally distant, making the film more intellectual than immersive.Join us as we examine the power and contradictions of Full Metal Jacket. Is it Kubrick's most uncompromising vision of war—or a film split between two brilliant but uneven halves?Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.

Author Dan Valenti joins Cara & John Krol on The Blend Podcast to discuss a true labor of love and a book that is the result of work and interviews that spanned nearly four decades. The book reveals previously untold details of how iconic characters in Kubrick's masterpiece Full Metal Jacket were chosen and molded through the eyes of the actors who portrayed the epic roles. UNVEILING THE TRUTH BEHIND AN ICONIC FILM-Step behind the curtain of one of cinema's most unforgettable films and performances.In Stanley Kubrick's Full Mental Straight Jacket, author Dan Valenti takes readers on an unprecedented journey into the making of a masterpiece. This revelatory work explores the genius, methods, and controversial practices that haveelevated Stanley Kubrick to legendary status among film directors.THE UNTOLD STORY For decades, the full story of this film, notably the creation of Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann—one of cinema's most compelling, blistering, and quoted characters—remained shrouded in mystery. Until now.Drawing from exclusive interviews conducted over two years with actor Lee Ermey (Hartman) shortly after Full Metal Jacket was released, Valenti delivers insightsthat only a trusted confidant could access. From 2022 to 2024, Valenti also conducted over a dozen in-depth interviews with the film's supporting cast—including Tim Colceri, Kubrick's original choice for Hartman. The unsparing probe uncovers the exhilarating but nightmarish realities of working in "Kubrick country.”FROM THE AUTHOR WHO KNEW THE TRUTH As the collaborator on a novel screenplay project with Ermey himself, Valenti gained unprecedented access to fresh insights about Kubrick and the film that have never before been shared with the public. For film historians, Kubrick enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the dark corners of filmmaking, this book provides the definitive account of how one of cinema's most memorable characters came to life—and the personal cost.Dan is an author whose books have made him a “six-decade man” — his titles have been published in the 1970s (1979), '80s, '90s, '00s, tens (2010, 11), and 20s. He has written 25 books and edited eight more. His works have been widely quoted, cited, and anthologized. He has also written for the stage and for films.

Alec, JJ and Mattson's discussion centers upon Stanley Kubrick's seminal 1987 film, "Full Metal Jacket," wherein we conduct an exhaustive analysis of its dual narrative structure, comprising the harrowing boot camp experience juxtaposed against the chaos of the Vietnam War. We dissect the profound impact of R. Lee Ermey's portrayal of the drill sergeant, which many believe singularly elevates the film's initial act to an unparalleled level of cinematic excellence, yet we lament the subsequent decline in narrative cohesion and engagement in the latter half. The variance in pacing and thematic exploration between the two segments prompts us to contemplate Kubrick's artistic choices and the efficacy of his directorial vision. Throughout our discourse, we reflect upon the film's commentary on the dehumanization of soldiers and the moral complexities intertwined with the experience of war. Ultimately, we arrive at a consensus that while the film remains undeniably significant, its bifurcated nature invites a myriad of critiques regarding its overall effectiveness and lasting legacy.Support us:https://www.patreon.com/whatsourverdictEmail us: hosts@whatsourverdict.comFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatsourverdictTwitter: @whatsourverdictInstagram: @whatsourverdictYouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC-K_E-ofs3b85BnoU4R6liAVisit us:www.whatsourverdict.com

In this philosophically rich episode of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright take on Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket, unpacking its brutal duality and eerie relevance to today's global narrative warfare. The conversation begins with an analysis of the film's two-act structure, boot camp and battlefield, and how Kubrick uses it to depict not just the horrors of war, but the system that transforms human beings into tools of violence. Chris and BB explore the concept of dehumanization, especially through the lens of Gomer Pyle and Project 100,000, McNamara's Vietnam-era program to funnel low-IQ recruits into combat. From there, they dive into the eerie symbolism of the film's final scene, the infamous sniper reveal, and the cultural conditioning that primes entire generations for conflict. The discussion widens to cover controlled opposition, narrative traps, the media's role in manufacturing consent, and how the same war machine now operates across Ukraine, Gaza, and the information sphere. They contrast Kubrick's cinematic truth-telling with today's hyperreality, where war is not just sold through propaganda but produced as entertainment. A masterclass in narrative analysis and moral clarity, this episode doesn't just critique the military-industrial complex...it exposes the spiritual and psychological cost of buying into it.
