Episode 6: First Blood (1982)

Sailor and Kane bring on a special guest, William Dhalgren, to discuss the 1982 action classic, First Blood, the movie that spawned the action icon Rambo and gave Sylvester Stallone another franchise to make money hand over fist.

We discuss the book the movie is based on, Sly’s career, and the movie’s impact on the action genre, among other things. Listen as we make our picks for an updated remake and give our take on the First Blood we want to be made. Let us know who you would recast!
