This week we’re looking at big angry houses with guns. We start with the star-studded World War II caper Kelly’s Heroes (1970), behind enemy lines, chasing $16m in gold. Next up is a stranded Russian T-55 crew isolated on the hostile terrain of Afghanistan and learning about the Pashtunwali honor code in The Beast (1988). We finish with a day in the life of Percy Jackson as he joins the grizzled veterans of Brad Pitt’s Sherman crew in Fury (2014), killing Tigers and SS troopers. 

Also: White Tiger (2012). Come and See (1985) and The Painted Bird (2019). Where Eagles Dare (1968). Joe does Lalo Schifrin. The Italian Job (1969) and Edge of Darkness (1985). Waterworld (1995). Charlie Wilson’s War (2007). Erick Avari. The Best Baldwin. Dale Dye. What shot JFK? End of Watch (2012). Jon Bernthal - intense sadboy. La cimetière américain de Colleville-sur-Mer. Greyhound (2020). 86ed. We play a game of “For You Tommy, Ze Var is Over”
