A Few Good Men Holds Up Great (Ep 101)

About this episode

The hosts discuss the enduring appeal and strengths of the film A Few Good Men despite its legal inaccuracies.

This week we rewatched A Few Good Men and dove into why, despite its questionable legal accuracy, it remains one of our all-time favorite films. We break down Aaron Sorkin’s razor-sharp dialogue, the incredible courtroom tension, and the powerhouse performances that make this movie endlessly rewatchable. It may not be a perfect depiction of military law, but it is one of the best-written and most entertaining dramas ever put on screen, and we loved talking through why it still holds up today.
