## Resource

On this week’s episode of Unclear and Present Danger, Jamelle and John marked the unfortunate death of Rob Reiner by watching his 1992 military legal thriller A Few Good Men. In their conversation, they discuss Reiner’s career, the underlying liberalism of a film like A Few Good Men , and the continued relevance of Jack Nicholson’s performance as Colonel Nathan Jessup. After this, we’ll be off for a few weeks, but then we’ll see you again in the new year with an episode on Murder at 1600 . We’ll then finish out 1997 with an episode on G.I. Jane . It’s been a busy and chaotic 2025 for both Jamelle and John, but they both hope the schedule will return to some regularity for 2026. And do not forget the Patreon, where in addition to a twice-monthly show on the political and military thrillers of the Cold War, we do a weekly politics show. Our next Patreon movie episode will be on the 1984 adaptation of John Le Carre’s The Little Drummer Girl , starring the late, great Diane Keaton.
