Ep 014 // Full Metal Jacket

Published: Feb. 1, 2021, 1 p.m.

In this episode, we dive headfirst into 1987's Full Metal Jacket. We talk about the dichotomy between the humorous and serious moments throughout the movie and why this decision was made. Not only is the movie a mix of these two but so is our commentary. Fair warning, we do put in a clip from the movie of R. Lee Ermey's character using incendiary language and racial slurs. This movie nor episode is for child's ears, so, earmuffs!

This movie was directed by Stanley Kubrick.
