This week, the boys take a walk in the sun with… well… A Walk in the Sun! They discuss the film using an old-timey musical narrator at various points throughout, the Battle of Tibet references throughout, the evolution of director Lewis Milestone between this film and All Quiet on the Western Front, Samuel Fuller’s negative reaction to the film, the ending that echoes anti-war sentiment in its own subtle way and much more!
Next week: we take to the skies!
