Rob and Duncan have done their job for Uncle Sam. Now they're podcasting for themselves. This week we're watching the 1990 movie Memphis Belle and the 1944 documentary that inspired it: The Memphis Belle: A Story of a Flying Fortress. Is the crew going to finish its 25th mission? Which of them will go on to save Frodo? And would Eric Stoltz have had a better career if he'd realised Back To The Future was a comedy?
You can watch the 1944 documentary here: https://youtu.be/DW4F_ZMrS3A?si=g7HPQtEnXfQkdMxz
Next week, we're watching Aliens.
