About this episode
With the release of Episode 24, BPC celebrates it’s one year Anniversary! A full calendar year after dropping our very first episode, we reflect on our first year as a podcast all while tackling our first war movie, Platoon. Cohosts from our debut episodes, Artie B and Joey R, return as we discuss Oliver Stone’s grizzly Vietnam film. We take a deep dive into this authentic, and sometimes hard to watch, look at the war in Vietnam and discuss where the movie fits into the grand scheme of things and whether this is the most realistic war movie ever made.
