It’s another week of The Plotaholics Podcast, and today, Shane and Bryan explore Stanley Kubrick’s 1987 military dark comedy, Full Metal Jacket.

In this week's episode, we discuss what feels like two separate films edited together to make a two-hour film classic starring Matthew “Just as good as McConaughey and Broderick” Modine, Vincent “Kingpin” D’Onofrio, Adam “Not related to Alec” Baldwin, and the late, great R. Lee Ermey.

Discussion of this film definitely means a trigger warning is in effect as the film features casual and active racism as well as intense depictions of violence. That said, the film is an amazing piece of filmmaking.

There are also (apparently) tons of parallels to Community, The Office, and Family Guy.  At least, Shane and Bryan keep bringing those shows up in their discussion.

So, sit back, relax, leave a review, and enjoy The Plotaholics’ take on Full Metal Jacket. And be sure to like, share, and leave a review!
