In the wake of the 95th Oscars (recorded before they happened), Dan and Keith take on two takes of a classic war story from opposite ends of film history with All Quiet on the Western Front, and how it's evolved from the dawn of the sound era to the age of the Netflix Exclusive. First, a look the 1930 OG, the third film ever to win Best Picture, less of a story than a sketch the-absolute-opposite-of-comedy about war trauma, then jump to just recently with the 2022 version, where Keith and Dan have some disagreements over how well it translated. It's horrifyingly riveting action, differing thesis statements about the Great War, and Dan's most hated character in vintage cinema, so strap in and join us for the journey.
