About this episode

The hosts discuss the film 'The Best Years of Our Lives' and provide a mini-review of 'Backrooms'.

This week, the boys grab some beers and head to post-WWII America to watch nobody give AF about our war heroes in William Wyler’s “The Best Years of Our Lives”. The highest-grossing movie since “Gone With The Wind”, this moving account follows several soldiers re-acclimating to civilian life in a world that has moved on without them. Thankless bastards. This movie rules. It’s long, but it’s awesome. John also talks about “Backrooms”. Grab a beer and join us! linktr.ee/theloveofcinema - Check out our YouTube page! Our phone number is 646-484-9298.
