#637: Top 5 Movie Military Leaders / War Machine

Inspired by Gen. Stanley McChrystal's dramatic fall from grace in 2010 following a Rolling Stone profile, the new WAR MACHINE from Netflix puts a scowling Brad Pitt in McChrystal's boots for its Afghanistan-set satire. Despite an impressive ensemble cast, Adam and Josh agree that the film has a challenging time finding the right tone. But they also agree that a trio of actors best known for iconic work in the 80s make the most of their screen time. That review, plus the Top 5 Movie Military Leaders.

This episode of Filmspotting is presented by go90 and Showtime's "I'm Dying up Here."
