Listen "Rambo"
Episode Synopsis
This week we review the 1982 American action film Rambo directed by Ted Kotcheff and co-written by and starring Sylvester Stallone as Vietnam War veteran John Rambo.
It co-stars Richard Crenna as Rambo's mentor Sam Trautman and Brian Dennehy as Sheriff Will Teasle.
Rambo is a troubled and misunderstood Vietnam veteran who must rely on his combat and survival skills when a series of brutal events results in him having to survive a massive manhunt by police and government troops near the small town of Hope, Washington.
It is the first installment in the Rambo franchise and the excitement this week is palpable.
You either love it or hate it and we both love it. The Scotsman starts to delve too deep into the nuances of the story before the Aussie reminds him "it's just Rambo mate - don't do that".
And he is quite right.
Enjoy this movie for what it is.
The Aussie was playing the Rambo music score on the way to the studio and he is ramped up, pumped up and ready to "kick arse". He runs this show like clockwork delving into the minutia.
He is so excited, see if you can count how many times he says Rocky instead of Rambo. Although In fairness Sly has made this week very difficult for podcasters......Rocky, Rambo, Rob and Rohan....the big 4!
