I agree with most of your comments about ‘Flags’ but I’m surprised you specifically praised the cross cutting. For me the switching between the battle scenes and the PR tour made the film feel a little disjointed at times and didn’t allow me to engage with the characters of the three ‘heroes’ as deeply as I might. It was a good film though and I’m looking forward to seeing ‘Letters from Iwo Jima’ – Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the comment Tim – for me the cross-cutting really worked – surprisingly so – the film really impressed across the board with the exception of the cliched scene mentioned in the podcast.

Hi Guys,
When do you expect your next podcast to be up?
Cheers

Hi Steve – hopefully in few days – completely my fault for not getting it done. The Dr. and I recorded a review of Rocky Balboa and Prairie Home Companion AGES ago and I’ve yet to upload it for a variety of reasons – it may become a ‘lost’ episode!
But on the positive side I’m off tonight to ‘Letters From Io Jima’ so I can see Higgins and I reviewing that this weekend and then going back to a regular weekly schedule.
