In the NFL Week 5 edition of ‘Higher Register' Rich and the guys offer up their solid-but-not-all-that-convincing endorsement of the Denver Broncos, Seattle Seahawks, and Baltimore Ravens backup QB Cooper Rush.

Send us a textMatt Okuhara joined the Territorial Army at 18. After just a few weeks of training he was called up for service in Iraq.Details of Matt's book, Basra and Back: "Basra and Back follows Salamanca Company, a unit of British infantry deployed to Iraq as part of the peacekeeping effort after the 2003 invasion, known as Operation TELIC. Drawn from units in southwest England, Salamanca Company wasted no time in assuming its duties, providing security to the coalition's provisional government and navigating the tense, dusty streets of Basra City. Insurgents had infiltrated the city, sowing discord among the population already grappling with shortages of essential resources like food, water, fuel, and electricity. The soldiers understood the gravity of the situation and braced themselves for civil unrest and worse, knowing their deployment would lead them into even more dangerous territory. For six months in 2004, the officers and men of The Rifle Volunteers found themselves as reservists on the frontline. Now that the war had been won, it was time to win the peace. Told through the eyes of Matthew Okuhara, a young soldier called into regular service, Basra and Back gives a true and overlooked account of the UK's military reserve at war. Narrated with an abstract sense of humour, Matthew is initially out of place but eventually discovers his role as the unit medic within ‘3 Platoon'. The book also covers the military history of reserve soldiers during the War on Terror, with the deployment of so many volunteers marking a historic moment for the British Army, as was the first time in nearly half a century that a formed unit of reservists is deployed in a ground holding role since the Suez Crisis: an experiment that created a strategy that continued in military deployments for years to come."You can order it here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Basra-Back-Memoir-Unlikely-Infantryman/dp/1036129659If you're interested in being a guest on the podcast, please contact us on:instagram: @veteranstateofmind email: info@vsompodcast.comGeraint's books are available at: www.geraintjonesmedia.com and https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Geraint-Jones/author/B06XTKLWBMSupport the show

Welcome back to The Latest Filmmakers Podcast, the show that takes you behind the scenes of the most anticipated films with the creative minds who make them. This week, we're honored to have a pair of brilliant artists to discuss their new psychological thriller, a film that explores the chilling depths of history, identity, and the burden of legacy. It's a short one but a good one as Dom Lenoir hosts. First, we have an actor whose illustrious career spans decades and genres, from his iconic portrayal of the Green Goblin in Spider-Man to his voice work as Gill in Finding Nemo and his Oscar-nominated roles as Sgt. Elias in Platoon, Max Schreck in Shadow of the Vampire, and Vincent van Gogh in At Eternity's Gate. He is, of course, the legendary Willem Dafoe. Joining him is a phenomenal talent making her feature film directorial debut. Known for her impactful work in theater and powerful short films like White Girl, she also co-wrote the screenplay for their new movie. Please give a warm welcome to director and writer Nadia Latif. They are here to discuss their new film, The Man in My Basement, an unnerving adaptation of the acclaimed novel by Walter Mosley. The film, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival, tells the story of a down-on-his-luck man in Sag Harbor who finds his life and his family's hidden history turned upside down by a mysterious tenant.

Andy and Jeff share their takeaways from their conversation with Anthony Castrovince and discuss what they expect from the Guardians through the rest of the regular season and possibly into the post season.

(00:00-14:58) NFL Notes at Noon (14:58-22:49) Nick Castellanos had a positive look on the outfield platoon. (22:49-32:02) When is it time to get bothered by the potential discipline problem the Eagles have? (32:02-39:16) Ray expresses his annoyance for NFL Redzone.

Good stories don't magically appear on the page. Someone grinds them out. In this encore edition of Doing What Works I tell you how I wrote my second book, why I didn't want to, and why I'm glad I did. Here are your show notes… Left for Dead: A Second Life after Vietnam is the memoir of Jon Hovde. Staying the Course: A Runner's Toughest Race is the memoir of Dick Beardsley. Platoon helped me get in the mood to write Left for Dead. There's a difference between a story and a sequence of events; the writers of South Park know! There's no such thing as writer's block. The Summer of Ordinary Ways “wrings intensity,” as one person put it, “from the seemingly mundane.”

Please Note: Owing to a major accident that closed down Highway 60—a central route I take in commuting to WMNF each Wednesday—I was unable to make it to the radio station to broadcast ‘Talking Animals,” having to deliver an improvised version of this show from my car, with enormous (& much-appreciated!) production assistance from Jessica […] The post Patrick Hardy, founder of Bee Platoon first appeared on Talking Animals.

Welcome to a new sub-series of the podcast devoted to screenplays for movies that never got made. There are tons of famous screenplays from Oliver Stone's first draft of Conan to Del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness. For each episode in this series, we will read and review a script that never got made.In this episode, I am joined by author Anthony Trevino and Musician/Filmmaker Issa Diao to discuss The Unproduced Shadow Company by Shane Black and Fred Dekker which was supposed to be John Carpenter's follow-up to They Live in 1988. This cult classic script that was cross between Platoon and Night of the Living Dead is something of a legend. We break it down.

During the 2024-25 season, Alisa Weilerstein premiered three new cello concertos – Richard Blackford's The Recovery of Paradise (which she has recorded for Pentatone with the Czech Philharmonic conducted by Tomáš Netopil), Gabriela Ortiz's Dzonot (recorded for Platoon with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Gustavo Dudamel) and Thomas Larcher's Returning into Darkness (premiered with the New York Philharmonic). James Jolly caught up with Alisa to talk about the two new recordings and also hear about her Fragments project that she's bringing to London as part of a South Bank Centre residency later this year. The Gramophone Podcast will now be included in The British Library Sound Archive, catalogued and preserved for future generations as part of the nation's audio and cultural heritage.

While the Phillies have been surging a lot of it has been with star right fielder Nick Castellanos having to take on a roll as a platoon player rather than an everyday starter. There seems to be a passive aggressive cloud around the situation as Castellanos can't be happy by this development. How do you feel about Nick Castellanos' current situation?

By the 132nd episode of Fear and Loathing in Cinema, one begins to wonder if Bryan, Dan, Chelsea, and their revolving door of guests aren't actually podcasters at all, but cultural archaeologists, digging through the cinematic rubble of the '90s with the patience of Indiana Jones and the appetite of Mystery Science Theater 3000. This week, their excavation tool of choice is Operation Dumbo Drop, Disney's 1995 attempt to stage a Vietnam War film with all the gravitas of Platoon, if Platoon had a wisecracking elephant in the starring role. The post Episode #132 – Operation Dumbo Drop (1995) first appeared on Boomstick Comics.

Lock, load, and prepare for a ballistic ride. This week, the Born to Watch crew take on the movie that brought Keanu Reeves roaring back into the action spotlight and set a new standard for gun-fu carnage with their John Wick (2014) Review.Whitey, G Man, Damo, and returning guest Bones gather in the "Red Circle Russian Baths" to break down this lean, mean revenge machine. The premise is simple: they killed his puppy, they stole his car, and now John Wick is going to kill absolutely everyone. What follows is 101 minutes of exquisitely choreographed violence, ruthless headshots, and underworld world-building that's as fascinating as it is stylish.The boys kick things off with an "overs and unders" rewatch count, Bones leading the charge with a double-digit tally, Damo admitting he was late to the Wick party, and G Man revealing this was only his second full viewing. Whitey takes us back to his last days running a video shop in 2014, when he first discovered the movie on DVD and immediately knew it was something special.From there, it's a high-calibre conversation covering the sequels (John Wick 2 gets big love, John Wick 3 cops a length warning, and John Wick 4 is called out for testing bladders at nearly three hours). They crunch the numbers on the original film's body count, 84 kills for Wick alone, and swap favourite takedowns, from the Red Circle massacre to the infamous knife-to-the-chest finisher.But John Wick isn't just about spraying bullets. The team dive into what makes it different: the cool, calculated underworld mythology of The Continental, the gold coin economy, and the assassin's code that adds sophistication to the chaos. They agree that the "no business on Continental grounds" rule is a masterstroke, and that Ian McShane's Winston brings the perfect mix of charm and menace.Keanu Reeves' career gets its own spotlight, with nods to Point Break, Speed, The Matrix, and even the roles he almost played (Platoon, Starship Troopers). Supporting cast members also get their flowers: Michael Nyqvist's quietly menacing Viggo, Alfie Allen's punchable rich-kid villainy, Willem Dafoe's sniper guardian angel, and a surprise cameo from wrestling giant Kevin Nash.In true Born to Watch fashion, the chat spirals into side quests: hot takes on Taken's influence on modern revenge films, debates over whether Russians are cinema's ultimate gangsters, and an oddly passionate discussion on Japanese onsens and Russian bathhouses (including the etiquette of washing before soaking with strangers).They also unpack critical reception, David Stratton's dismissive "all gun battles" take versus The New York Times' praise for its style, wit, and box office performance, noting how word of mouth turned a modest $86 million return into the launchpad for a billion-dollar franchise.Signature segments return in force:Hit, Sleeper, Dud, Swinger – with Interstellar and Edge of Tomorrow as hits, Frank as the sleeper, Dumb and Dumber To as the dud, and Pompeii roasted as a "swinger" that belongs in cinematic ash.Snobs Report Special – veering gloriously off-topic to Alexandra Daddario's career-making scene in True Detective.Question Time – covering everything from the realism of Wick's "magic pills" to whether Iosef's death was anticlimactic, and what exactly makes a headshot so satisfying.Through it all, the crew's affection for John Wick is undeniable. They celebrate its stripped-back storytelling, grounded stunt work, and unrelenting pace, while acknowledging its few stumbles. It's the perfect mix of 80s-style simplicity and modern fight choreography, proof that a revenge story, told well, never goes out of style.If you're a fan of tight, furious action films with a killer lead, a colourful rogues' gallery, and a fictional criminal underworld you want to explore (but not live in), this is the Born to Watch episode for you.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs John Wick the best modern action franchise or just a stylish headshot marathon?Which kill in the Red Circle nightclub is your all-time favourite?Is killing the puppy the single most effective way to make an audience cheer for revenge?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and be part of the show!Listen to the full episode now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.#JohnWick #KeanuReeves #MoviePodcast #ActionMovies #BornToWatch #GunFu #RevengeMovies #CultAction #FilmReview #PopCulture #borntowatchpodcast

This week on Born to Watch, the boys dive sunglasses-first into their Cobra (1986) Review, Sylvester Stallone's 80s fever dream of fascist fashion, cult chaos, and cheeseball one-liners. In a time when Sly was king of the box office, rocking Rambo and Rocky, he went rogue and gave us… Marion Cobretti. Part cop, part Terminator, all denim.Whitey, G-Man, and Morgz try to unpack this absurd Dirty Harry knockoff that's equal parts vanity project and testosterone overdose. From the opening monologue's completely made-up crime stats to the gratuitous axe-wielding cult, nothing about Cobra makes sense, and that's half the fun.But it's not all bullets and bravado. The team takes a hard look at Stallone's creative control (spoiler: he shouldn't have had any), the film's bizarre product placement (Pepsi, anyone?), and a montage that includes Brigitte Nielsen posing with robots to a Robert Tepper deep cut. Seriously.Gow marvels at the buckle boots and slasher absurdities, Dan questions why Cobra opens a warm beer just to throw it, and Whitey can't believe this was supposed to be the start of a franchise. There's praise for the poster, grief for the editing, and unfiltered confusion about the serial killer cult that clinks axes in an abandoned pool.Also in this episode:An explosive “Good, Bad, and Ugly” segment where “ugly” takes on new meaningA wild tangent into Canadian trailer parks and Gow's legendary exploits as the “Ten Slayer”A bonus voicemail from our mate XR8 Chupperz, who wants answers about Canadian bar fights and Gow's taste in trailer park womenAs the crew reflects on Cobra's place in 1986 cinema, surrounded by giants like Top Gun, Aliens, and Platoon, they ask the big questions: Could this have been good with a different cut? Did anyone actually direct this thing? And is “You're a disease, and I'm the cure” the greatest dumb action line ever written?Spoiler alert: Cobra ends with 41 confirmed kills. Stallone doesn't just clean up crime; he clears the census.So if you love muscle-bound madness, slashers in stocking masks, or just want to laugh at a movie that takes itself way too seriously, this episode is for you.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs Cobra a misunderstood action gem or just a flaming dumpster fire of denim and ego?Would you ride shotgun with Cobretti or run from his gun with the custom Cobra logo? Who's scarier—the Night Slasher or that robot photo shoot montage?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and be part of the show!Listen to the full episode now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.#Cobra #SylvesterStallone #BornToWatch #MoviePodcast #80sAction #CultClassic #BadMoviesWeLove #BrigitteNielsen #PepsiPlacement #GunWithALogo

We've reached the month of August, so that means a new series from us that we are calling This Means War where we will be covering 5 movies that are at least adjacent to war. First up is Oliver Stone's Oscar-winning depiction of the Vietnam War as seen through his eyes: Platoon.Our Links: https://lnk.bio/neverseenitMovie Info: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091763/

Continuing our Oliver Stone series, we turn to Platoon (1986), the film that established Stone as a superstar director and inaugurated the most celebrated phase of his career, revolving around the ghosts of the 1960s. Brett discusses the reception of Platoon in terms of the cultural politics of New Hollywood and of the Reagan era, and he considers the real reasons for the emergence of the Vietnam film at this time. He also takes a closer look at Hemdale, the sus production company behind this and Stone's previous effort, and he offers some personal reflections on the film's legacy. Thomas discusses the neo-shamanic, countercultural spirituality invested in the Willem Dafoe character and offers an analysis of the “two fathers” theme that would come to define Stone's work. If you enjoy Psyop Cinema, check out the Decoding Culture Foundation and Cultural Engineering Studies magazine - https://decoding-culture.com/magazine-home/https://twitter.com/CinemaPsyophttps://www.patreon.com/PsyopCinemahttp://psyop-cinema.com/https://linktr.ee/psyopcinemathomas-psyopcinema@protonmail.combrett-psyopcinema@protonmail.com   

In this gripping episode of The Tracklist, hosts Daron Jenkins (@thedaronjenkins) and Chris Saunders (@chrissaunders_music) dive deep into Platoon (1986)—Oliver Stone's Oscar-winning war epic that redefined Vietnam cinema. We break down the hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, anchored by Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings, and how it shaped the emotional tone of the film. From The Doors to Motown classics, we explore how Platoon's music elevated its brutal realism and gave voice to the soldiers' inner turmoil.We also spotlight the all-star cast—Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Tom Berenger, Forest Whitaker—and Keith David who just received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!Like and subscribe to our podcast wherever you listen/watch!Please...support the podcast by purchasing a hoodie or t-shirt!

Platoon! Did you know this was an NES game? Have you seen Platoon? While watching it did you think it was just the PERFECT movie to base an NES game on? No? Neither did we. But we watched/re-watched Platoon and did a deep dive into this game. Of course, we brought on our foremost gunologist … Continue reading → The post Ep. 823 –Platoon (NES) appeared first on TADPOG: Tyler and Dave Play Old Games.

In the 1980's seeing the Orion Pictures logo before a movie meant you were about to watch a quality film. Oscar winners like "Amadeus" and "Platoon" were joined by genre defining movies like "Robocop" and "Terminator" in the Orion Pictures family. The problem was that many of these movies were not making any money, and very soon Orion Pictures was doomed to bankruptcy.Join Ty and RD as they look back and discuss the past, and new future, for Orion Pictures.Download the podcast for free.

Doug Bahrns knew he wanted to be a U.S. Marine Corps officer when he finished high school a couple of years before 9/11. He graduated from the Virginia Military Institute and was commissioned as a Marine Corps officer. After going to officer's training at Quantico, Bahrns was assigned command of 3rd Platoon, Alpha Company, 1st Battalion, 8th Marines in 2003. By 2004 they were in Iraq, and a few months later they would be involved in some of the fiercest fighting of the war - the Second Battle of Fallujah.In this edition of Veterans Chronicles, Bahrns discusses the ramping up to the battle, how he got orders to get his men ready for the fight in the middle of the night, and what he went over in his mind just before the battle began.Bahrns describes the successful push to the mayor's complex, the vicious fighting to move out from there, and the brutal house-to-house fighting that followed. He explains the very effective method of clearing houses, how those gains stayed secured, and how his Marines escaped from a very precarious situation at a place they called "The Alamo."Finally, Bahrns details the devastating loss of Cpl. Bradley Faircloth in late November 2004 and how Faircloth's death still weighs on him today.

Watching Oliver Stone's "Platoon" in 2025, next to Alex Garland's "Warfare" is a hell of an exercise. Watching Woody Allen's "Hannah and Her Sisters" in 2025, seeing his current wife as a child actor in the movie, is a depressing image. We dig into that, plus the incredible performances from Michael Caine, Charlie Sheen, Willem Dafoe, Barbara Hershey, Diane Wiest, and Johnny Depp. Connect with us:Never Did It on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/bradgaroon/list/never-did-it-podcast/Brad on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/bradgaroon/Jake on Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/jake_ziegler/Never Did It on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neverdiditpodcast Hosted by Brad Garoon & Jake Ziegler

Watch this interview here https://youtu.be/CfZAHMQFdnc   Brought to you by the Gettysburg Museum of History Foundation, we happily present to you an episode from a series of shows that we usually keep for our Patreon subscribers only. It's called "COMBAT STORIES". Typically, I interview someone affiliated with the show (Eric "The Producer" or Colby Sumner) or a listener who has experienced combat and leave those episodes on Patreon. I do this because I want to de-romanticize war, as I think too many of us fall prey to the "hurrah-ness" of war movies. That is, we DID, up until Saving Private Ryan came out. Due to the good-nature of Gettysburg Museum of History owner Erik Dorr, I was able to sit down and interview a man who not only experienced combat, but a man who has made sure that film audiences experience it too. He is Captain Dale Dye, Vietnam Vet, founder of Warriors Inc, writer, filmmaker, actor and all-around great guy to talk to. This interview has information that he rarely speaks about in the myriad interviews available online and, for that, I am grateful, and I hope you are too. So sit back and have a chat with the legendary Captain Dale Dye. Support the Gettysburg Museum of History Foundation- www.gettysburgmuseumofhistory.com Help Addressing Gettysburg grow- www.patreon.com/addressinggettysburg for our premium content and more or www.dhpioneers.com to help us fund our videos projects.   **This episode begins with our discussions off-mic. The interview itself morphed from our traditional warm-up banter into the interview itself once I realized that our conversation flowed so effortlessly that to stop it in order to officialy begin the show would have killed the momentum. Once I realized we were in it, you will hear my voice come in clearly. - Matt
