Episode description
This episode we feel the need… the need for a broad reassessment of cinema’s portrayal of the military industrial complex. Top Gun: Maverick sees Tom Cruise return to flight school after 36 years, but can it fly higher and faster than John Ford’s 1945 John Wayne picture They Were Expendable? And has the way cinema views militarism changed since World War 2?
