Episode Details

Pete and Hannah’s Watchlist returns with the latest episode in their AFI Redux series, taking on Patton. This iconic war film has long been celebrated for its bold performances and stirring speeches—but does it actually glorify war? Pete and Hannah revisit the film’s legacy, unpack its historical context, and debate whether its larger-than-life portrait of General George S. Patton is a critique of militarism or an endorsement of it. Join them for a thoughtful, lively discussion that examines how classic cinema shapes our understanding of war, heroism, and power.
