Tonight is a listener request from Matt in Florida. In 1965's "King Rat," the POWs of a Changi prison camp live under their own hierarchy separate from class or military rank. Brash American Corporal King holds outsized sway in the camp, while two Brits - Marlowe and Grey - take different approches to him. Could anything happen to change the pecking order?... Asides include "The Sopranos," and "The Hot Zone."
