Episode 131: The Final Countdown

Exploding Helicopter

”Somebody - for some reason - wants us to believe that we’re back in 1941.”
On this show we spiral backwards through the time tunnel to review THE FINAL COUNTDOWN (1980).
We discuss time paradoxes, marvel at the art of background acting, and admire the film’s military hardware. Oh, and we of course discuss an exploding helicopter which may secure the outcome of WWII.
