Welcome to the jungle and welcome to the ‘70’s. This week on HOAP we’re going best picture hunting with the 1978 classic The Deer Hunter. Andrew opens the show talking about Michael Cimino, the film’s director, and his dubious war record, while Dave tells us about the difficulties of filming during a military coup. The guys debate the need for historical accuracy on screen, the central metaphor of Russian roulette in the film, and the significance of the ending.
