“Whatever happens, we’ll always remember our silver wedding anniversary.” On this show Will takes Dara hostage in order to review the 1980s action classic The Delta Force (1986). Among the topics of discussions: the film’s surprisingly accurate dramatisation of a real-life airplane hijacking, how on earth the cast stars four Oscar winners, and the weird incompetence of America's 'elite' special forces. They also examine the film’s stunning exploding helicopter and what may well be the greatest opening scene in cinematic history. Episode 50.
