Patrol Torpedo (PT) Boats, while not as famous as battleships, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and other large ships, nevertheless played a crucial role in the Pacific War. In 1942, author W. L. White wrote They Were Expendable, a book that tells the story of the work of PT boats in the American defense of the Philippines in 1941 and 1942. Three years later, MGM released the movie version directed by the legendary director John Ford. In this episode, James and Sean discuss this classic John Wayne film.

It's too hot to be happy. That's all there is to it. Yet, Larry makes mirth with tales of some of the hottest and coldest days of his life. In honor of the scorching sun, Larry recites "Summer Sun" by Robert Louis Stevenson. And he talks about the great World War II movie "They Were Expendable." https://LarryMillerShow.com Quote of the week: "It's a-hot out there."

Let's just spoil this up front. Mike did not get his wish of John Ford not talking about poor people. We start with HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY, aka the movie that cost CITIZEN KANE the Oscar. That aside, we talk about what works and what doesn't in this one, and we basically disagree on everything. The long and the short of it is that Mike isn't into the love story, but you have to listen to find out why.We then move on to one of Ford's war propaganda films, THEY WERE EXPENDABLE. We talk about how much Mike loves John Wayne's failure face and Dave defends Donna Reed (probably too much).Are either of these Ford's masterpiece?

This week on XENA: WARRIOR PODCAST, war is hell! Vera, Katie, and Livy go once more into the breach with 6x15 “To Helicon and Back,” the show’s biggest battle epic, and the grim conclusion to the Amazons’ storyline. We discuss the many references to WWII films including Saving Private Ryan, They Were Expendable, The Longest Day, Patton, and… Jaws? Plus: Michael Hurst’s decision to shift the tone from the triumph and bombast of Liz Friedman & Vanessa Place’s original draft, the references to earlier Xena eps including “The Price” and “A Good Day,” and the many hard decisions Xena has to let Gabrielle make as she takes this huge step in her journey as a warrior. To a strong Amazon Nation! The power, the passion, the podcast!

In this episode, the Director's Club delves into the Green Valleys, Stagecoaches, and Long Voyages shown in the works of the legendary director John Ford.  With the help of fellow Chicago Film Discussion Group member Peter Richards (who guested on our Terence Malick episode), in Part I of our series we not only look into his classic early films, but lesser-known yet no less fascinating efforts which include silent epics, minimalist treks through the desert, dark foggy nights of the Irish soul, and even comedies starring Will Rogers, and how Ford's genius with a film image and concerns of family, history, and myth flow through them. 16:56  "The Iron Horse"  ("Mystery Train", Elvis Presley) 28:22  "Pilgrimage"  ("Pilgramage", R.E.M.) 38:39  "The Lost Patrol"  ("Desert Blues", The Allman Brothers Band) 52:35  "Judge Priest"  ("Funky Judge", The J.

Hear a hilarious tale of how Larry and Jerry Seinfeld once unwittingly terrified a young Yakov Smirnoff. That leads to a re-telling of Larry's hilarious "one no good, five OK" story, where Larry, Jerry and Yakov go to Tijuana to buy fireworks. We do "They Were Expendable" on the Magic Movie Moment, in honor of Veterans Day and "Death Be Not Proud," by John Donne on The Poetry Corner. Quote Of The Week: "He was now the head and face of Jerry Seinfeld." Producer: Colonel Jeff Fox Audio Engineer: Dr. Chris Laxamana
