PLATOON LEADER (w/ Frank and Geoff)

"YEAH! IT'S GOOD!" Things get uncharacteristically serious for the Cannon Bros (Frank & Geoff) because we're covering 1988's Platoon Leader! The Vietnam action drama directed by Molasses 2x4's bother, Aaron Norris and starring Cannon darling Michael Dudikoff. A movie we could only watch for free with ads or on YouTube via some account titled War TV. And according to the YouTube comments, this one is a mixed bag of accuracies and Hollywood BS! It's a movie less with a plot and more of a vignette of scenes that presents like that play from Rushmore. It's a smattering of word salad quotes, rushed character arcs and Duduikoff does some heavy lifting with his acting. We talk about Hollywood’s boner with Vietnam, the logistics of war injuries and the movie's biggest star turn...the snake! You'll wonder, "what was Greaser’s deal again?" And Eugene Levy shows up during our Woodstock '94 talk?! One thing's for sure...we should've never been there.
