The brothers embark on a discussion centered around the 1989 Bruce Willis film: "In Country." Transporting us to a distinct era, that brief period between the late 80s and early 90s, the movie presents a snapshot of a post-Vietnam America. Against the backdrop of a senseless and devastating war, ordinary individuals grapple with its aftermath. Surprisingly understated and with seemingly low stakes, the film showcases remarkable performances that leave a lasting impact.

Yet what sets "In Country" apart is its extraordinary nuance, defying easy categorization as a patriotic work. Despite this, it paradoxically emerges as intensely patriotic precisely because it possesses the audacity to confront the truth. It fearlessly explores America's soul-searching journey after perpetrating imperialist atrocities abroad.

This intricate portrayal is far too nuanced to fit into a simplistic patriotic narrative, yet its very essence embodies a fervent patriotism rooted in the courage to embrace uncomfortable truths.Within the episode, the brothers fearlessly dissect the myriad layers of "In Country," unearthing its profound commentary. By delving into the macro issues at hand, such as race relations in America, they provide fresh perspectives that breathe new life into this perennially discussed classic. Join them as they navigate the depths of this thought-provoking film, illuminating how it manages to simultaneously challenge and reaffirm the nation's collective spirit.
