Published: July 2, 2018, midnight

Excited to celebrate the USA's 242nd birthday? We've got the jingoistic, patriotic movie pairing for you -- and you don't even have to dig in to Michael Bay's oeuvre to do so. That's right, the Forgotten FIlm Pod boys and their guests, Nathan and Amelia Headden, are all set to discuss John Milius' classic RED DAWN and Peter Berg's not-as-absurd-as-it-really-probably-should-be adaptation of the board game BATTLESHIP. Starring Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Jennifer Grey, Lea Thompson, Brooklyn Decker, Rhianna, Taylor Kitsch, Jesse Plemons, Liam Neeson, and one of the Skarsgards, what better way is there to honor 'merica than this? None! So listen, and come back in two weeks for our next intro episode! You can also find the Forgotten Film Pod on iTunes, Stitcher and most pod-catchers near you.
