Everyone loves to watch movies from all genres. Veterans and service members have a unique connection to military films for various reasons other than great characters and storylines. In this episode, we talk on a wide-range of topics including:
  • [0:55] Mitch humorously plugs Monster energy drink for sponsorship and advises how to avoid drinking sip cans on accident.
  • [4:10] Who was more badass? Maverick or Iceman from "Top Gun."
  • [4:37] What scene in "Top Gun" made Mitch go straight to Mach-3 and our favorite Navy movies.
  • [6:30] Our take on the only thing the film "Hurt Locker" got right.
  • [11:30] Whic Army movies are considered our all-time favs. But not Army movies in Vietnam like Blake tried to get us to talk about.
  • [15:11] We create the perfect list of Marine Corps movies that are freaking epic.
  • [21:00] How awesome "Generation Kill" is and if you haven't watched it you're wrong.
  • [23:24] How difficult it was to watch and finish "Jarhead 2." Long story short, it was tough.
  • [25:15] What we loved the most from "Heartbreak Ridge."
  • [28:00] The best Air Force movies ever made.
  • [30:30] Then lastly, we funnel in our short list of favorite Coast Guard films.
