About this episode
In this episode, Sean and James discuss the oldest film they have reviewed to date. Wings (1927) is a silent epic that follows two young American men from a small town who become fighter pilots in the First World War, tracing their rivalry, friendship, and romantic entanglements as they are transformed by combat. Renowned for its groundbreaking aerial photography and large-scale battle sequences, the film presents air warfare with unprecedented realism. Beneath the spectacle, Wings underscores the personal sacrifice and emotional devastation wrought by modern war.
