This week on episode #155 of The Harsh Language Podcast, we discuss First Blood, a film that has been completely misunderstood thanks to the version the franchise turned it into. This week we made Marvin watch First Blood for the first time, and we dig into how its real story reveals a darker truth about a veteran abandoned by the very system that created him.

We also cover the latest in film and TV news: the lingering debate around Frankenstein adaptations, confusion over who the new Tron movie is even for, the strange direction of Spider-Man in the MCU, the increasingly chaotic future of WB Discovery, and fresh chatter about Stallone reflecting on his career.
