b"This week, Matt and Steve travel to the jungles of Vietnam for the intense and personal experience that is Oliver Stone's Platoon, the 1986 Best Picture Winner. A sobering look at the lives of infantrymen during that conflict, the film pulls no punches and has as much to say now as it did then. We talk the frenetic feel to the violence and how you never feel safe out there in the jungles of Nam. And ask, is that Barber piece used just a bit too much?
