About this episode

The episode features a discussion on military movies between two veterans, highlighting their personal experiences and movie preferences.

Welcome to the place where we get to let our geek flags fly and talk about all things geek. Basically a fuzzy guide to life, the universe, and everything but mostly geek stuff. This level of the podcast is a window into The Marshall and me as veterans of the US Armed Forces through a fun conversation about military movies. Not really biographies of us but there’s some glimpses and a chat about 33 military movies from 1970-2024. Crazy that our lists only had 6 crossovers. That said, you know this is a meaty geek chat.
