Summary

Hell or High Water (2016) v 1917 (2019) It’s battle! And the category is ‘On A Mission”. We start with “Hell or High Water” a Neo-Western with a mumbly Jeff Bridges that proved to be a bit too much Taylor Sheridan for the both of us. Then we discuss the war epic “1917”. Sam Mendes’ one shot wonder is third of his films we have covered on the show and perhaps it is one of his best. Will either film be awarded 8 or more stars and be added to the Greatest Films of The 21st Century List? Tune in and be sure to bring your own snacks all we have is T-bone steak and baked potato.
