Hinge Problems

Defend Mother Russia as we review the 1938 propaganda Soviet film Alexander Nevsky.  Alexander is a (not) saint who repels the devilish Catholic Germans in the eve of the Nazi Germans invading Russia in World War 2. The Next Film is The Battle of Algiers (1966)

We try not to sit on in any dogs as Tigress tries to not hurt anyone's feelings as we review the barely-Top Gun based comedy film, Hot Shots! The Next Film is Alexander Nevsky (1938).

Can a man escape a lifetime of aimless war-fighting? Can pleated slacks look better? Punctuality is important as we review The Dogs of War (1980). The Next Film is Hot Shots (1991)  

A back to the basics video games Hinge Problems in which we review the packaging for Paprium and how Balan Wonderworld changed us forever.

You can come home from war, but can you ever come back? Hinge Problems discusses the story of a Penguin with PTSD.   The Next Film is Dogs of War (1980) available on HBOMax

On the eve of the Battle of Incheon, America and South Korea sent 700 student soldiers to Jangsari beach as cannon fodder. They survived. The next film is Penguin's Memory (1985).  Available on Youtube

Terrence Malick's epic war film. Oh look the light through trees, waving fields of grass, where was evil born? Is that the podcast Hinge Problems where they review warmovis?
