Full Metal Jacket with Jon Gabrus
Alright, maggots, listen up! We\u2019ve got the Action Boy himself - Jon Gabrus - back on the podcast to talk about Kubrick\u2019s bifurcated Vietnam War classic FULL METAL JACKET. We\u2019re retiring the \u201cretired bit\u201d in order to talk about Matthew Modine as Private Joker. We\u2019re getting into the etymology of \u201cpoontang.\u201d We\u2019re attempting to articulate what makes a movie feel like an \u201c80s movie\u201d and why this film absolutely doesn\u2019t.\xa0 And - we\u2019re gonna end up on a very long tangent about the talking head comedy shows of the mid-aughts.
