Episode Synopsis
Episode 14: "Commando, Involved Again" Dissecting 1985's "Commando" as a primary source My friend, Professor Dan Hipp, is an accomplished cognitive psychologist and neuroscientist. So when I asked him to be a guest commentator on my podcast we, naturally, decided to discuss the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie, Commando. Treating this violent, catch phrase-laden shoot-'em-up as a primary source of the mid 1980s produces some exceptional conversation about the era from which it came. Remember when I told you I'd save this podcast for last? I lied.
