1941 (w/Nathan Spavold)

For Screen and Country

As the boys venture off the list, we present to you a new sub-series: THE DOGS OF WAR... for... you know... bad war movies.

This week, we start off with Steven Spielberg's big-budget critical disaster 1941 starring everyone on the planet. Joining them is bad movie connoisseur Nathan Spavold from the What Were They Thinking? podcast. They discuss everything including the long scenes of destruction without a lot of laughs, the way in which the film wastes a scene with Slim Pickens, Christopher Lee and Toshiro Mifune all at once (!), the endless Jitterbug dance sequence, Treat Williams playing an absolutely terrifying villain for a comedy and much, MUCH more.

Next week: another dog!
