Late Fees: Episode 28 ("Brave Mujahideen Fighters")

September 20, 2019 16:00 - 1 hour - 165 MB

We open the video store to discuss the FIRST BLOOD/RAMBO franchise in what may end up being our most comically political episode yet. Stallone is a way better performer and creator than a lot of people give him credit for. And even if the series has insane-o politics, it's also a well-made and at time heartfelt franchise. Where else will you hear FIRST BLOOD referred to as mumblecore??
