#70 –Full Metal Jacket (1987) [R]

Content Warning: Racism, Sexism, Suicide

Full Metal Jacket takes a long, hard, unflinching look at the Vietnam War from the perspective of the U.S. Marine Corps. It covers many difficult topics and as such, this is a difficult podcast episode. If exploring these topics would be too taxing for you, we ask that you please skip this episode and join us again next week. Stay safe, y'all.

Editor's note: The Drill Sergeant isn't really an actor! We found out after recording that the Drill Sergeant is played by an actual an actual trainer from the U.S. Military. Food for thought!
