Matinee Heroes

Matinee Heroes is a podcast dedicated to exploring hero cinema - from adventurers, heroes, and superheroes; from Jedi to buddy cops; from the Wild West, to the distant past, to futures both hopeful and dystopian, from ancient lands to the deepest reaches of outer space. In a time when we need heroes more than ever, Alan and Craig will try to understand just what makes our cinematic heroes tick, and how we can use that heroism in our everyday life.

FIRST BLOOD

Vietnam veteran and drifter John J. Rambo wanders into a small Washington town in search of an old friend but is met with intolerance and brutality by the local sheriff. When the sheriff’s deputies rough up Rambo, he flashes back to his time as a prisoner of war and unleashes his fury on the officers. He narrowly escapes the manhunt, but it will take Rambo’s former commander to save the hunters from the hunted.

Craig and guest cohost Brendan Agnew (@BLCAgnew on Twitter) talk about the way soldiers are viewed now vs the 70s, Miyazaki retrospective at Cinapse, over confident locals and the movie First Blood on this week’s Matinee Heroes.
