Reading Time: < 1 minute

Wednesday is here. Which means another episode of The Canon: An Essential Movies Watchlist is here. This week’s episode is all about First Blood. Another great episode for your listening pleasure. Hope you enjoy, screenagers!


Episode 80: First Blood (1982)

This episode is a killing machine! A couple of ScreenAge Wasteland OG’s swing by to talk about this Sly Stallone classic. Kane and Dhal (aka the Texas twosome) join Raf to chat all things First Blood. Including, whether or not this movie works with anyone other than Stallone and how it serves as a bridge between the cinema of the 70’s and the action blockbusters that defined the 80’s.
