About this episode
The episode explores the 1988 cult classic film 'The Beast' and its themes of war and revenge.
“I NEED A WOMAN!” As Vintage Cinema Rewind leaves Oscar season in the dust, they set their sights on sandier shores. That’s right, they’re back with the oft-overlooked 1988 cult classic: The Beast! Michael is part of a Russian tank unit with too much blood on his hands. But when he and his men storm an innocent village and leave nothing but ruin in their wake, Blake—the local Khan—swears revenge. What follows is a nail-biting cat-and-mouse game throughout the wastes of Afghanistan. Can Michael and his comrades escape the canyon unscathed? Or will David finally slay Goliath? (This episode is dedicated to our friend Nick—our one and only listener!)
