WARFARE Movie Review: Visceral Masterpiece or Warmongering Trash?

WARFARE is a gripping, minimalist war film that delivers tension and panic with brutal efficiency — and we both loved it.

But as much as we admire the film itself, the conversation around it has become louder than the movie. A lot of people seem more interested in writing it off as "American propaganda" than actually engaging with what it's doing.

In this episode, we break down why WARFARE works so well as a piece of filmmaking — and why so much of the backlash feels reactionary, surface-level, and frankly, lazy.

We’re not condoning war, and we’re certainly not glorifying it. But we also don’t think you can have a real conversation about cinema — or soldiers — if you come in already assuming the worst.

If you're interested in war films, complex discussions, and a breakdown that isn’t afraid to push back on simplistic takes, this is the episode for you.
