Topic: Full Metal Jacket
Hey guys, Teague here.
Full Metal Jacket is a film that used to inspire two very intense reactions in me – confusion and agitation. Knowing nothing of the armed services, and far less about how anyone could stand to watch this god damned film, the act of me first sitting down and experiencing it was interrupted halfway through by an all-encompassing need to do anything else.
Over the course of this episode, my opinion goes from one of loathing to one of acceptance. Who to thank but our special guest this week, jack-of-oh-so-many-trades Eddie Doty. Trey and Brian are also on deck to weigh in as we examine our first Kubrick film of the show.
I have a tendency to fix your typos.
