For Duty and For Country

In this week's episode of the Layered Butter Podcast; Rod, Raf and Jordan are joined by Matthew Moss and Robbie McGuire of the FightingonFilm Podcast to explore the titular "war" film. War cinema has certainly evolved from its early histories of propaganda film and newsreels; it has navigated through melodrama, action, adventure, lighthearted comedies to dark, brooding, visceral experiences. The war film touches upon the tangible relationship between culture, country and history and the ways it has changed the way generations experience, feel and relive a tragic piece of the world. From Hogan's Heroes to M.A.S.H to Saving Private Ryan and the newly released All Quiet on The Western Front, Matthew and Robbie help the Pod unravel the deep histories of the war and the silver screen. Also, we chat about the troubling nature of social media amidst Heartstopper and how the Rock has changed the hierarchy of power in the DC universe (in a pretentious way???). All this and more in this week's Layered Butter Podcast.
