Captain a ship and fire at your own men! It's time to sail on the cruel sea! Brendan and Jason talk all about the 1950s Jack Hawkins war film with regards to Stanley Baker's memorable brief performance, the fact that this may be a stealth anti-war film, the use of stock footage, manly men crying, thinly-written but multiple female characters in a war film, early on-screen portrayals of PTSD and much more!

 

The guys also draw next week's movie out of a hat! What will it be? Join us, won't you?
