131 - Saving Private Ryan (1998)

Shaving Ryan's Privates!
Join the Dead Beat Film Society as we discuss the troops, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg (agaaaaiiinnn), FUBAR, the 45 minute Omaha beach Normandy invasion scene, the pass gore gets in war movies, a WWII movie not about nazis, casual banter and dark jokes in the military, inaccurate shirt sleeve lengths and other military nitpicks, the ethics of the plot, Matt Damon, setting a new precedent for war films with bleached out color palette, shaky cam, gritty realism of the battlefields, unexpected Meg Ryan slander, our Vietnam reboot idea, a belated Veteran's Day salutean, and dragging a typewriter through a warzone with an in depth Saving Private Ryan film analysis!
