A very interesting and informative podcast from two likeable hosts. Honest reviews of current and less well known war movies. The guys are very knowledgeable about weapons and “kit “. Very enjoyable listen. 👍👍👍
the guys’s are nice enough but ramble on too much and continually stray off topic.
i haven’t had the patience to listen to a full episode.
My 4000 $ oasis in the Pods.
I love this show, and it’s my essential listen to and from, my drive to work. The only thing that lets it down is the needless and ridiculous swearing by Robbie, spoils a normally interesting and enjoyable podcast.
If you like war films then this is the pod for you.
Matt and Robbie are excellent hosts who not only know their stuff but are also funny and informative.
Often they have guests on who are always interesting and provide another fresh perspective.
Highly recommended.
