Ever been so hangry that you destroy an entire town? If so, you might relate to Rambo, the protagonist of the film: First Blood. The movie follows the story of Vietnam veteran John Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) who is harassed and profiled by the sheriff of a small town in Washington state. But Rambo, the ACAB hero you didn't know you needed, fights back. Sylvester Stallone stars in the film and launched one of the 1980s most iconic movie characters
Steven believes that Sylvester Stallone should've won an Oscar for his performance as John Rambo. Brandi disagrees.
Joining the pod to decide who is right is digital media whiz/artist/and low-key influencer: Turner Willman. Turner is the Social Media Manager at 18MillionRising.org, a national organization mobilizing the digital power of Asian Americans.
This episode discusses Hollywood's representation of war, racism in the Northwest, and the long history of violence perpetrated against Asian Americans in the United States.
