Buckle up for an intense ride of Ed Zwick films,  as we dive into Courage Under Fire (1996), a powerful Gulf War drama directed by Edward Zwick. Joined by Jared from Hyperspace: Podcasting in the 25th Century, we unpack this thought-provoking mystery starring Denzel Washington and Meg Ryan. From epic war scenes to emotional reckonings, this episode is a must! \n\nIn this episode, we explore Courage Under Fire, where Denzel Washington plays Lt. Col. Nat Serling, a Gulf War tank commander investigating a posthumous Medal of Honor for chopper pilot Capt. Karen Walden (Meg Ryan). Through conflicting accounts from her crew—played by Matt Damon, Lou Diamond Phillips, and others—Serling uncovers a web of truth, lies, and friendly fire. We dive into Zwick’s knack for war scenes, the film’s Rashomon-style storytelling, and behind-the-scenes stories from Zwick’s audiobook. Plus, we discuss the film’s highs (Denzel’s brilliance) and lows (Meg’s miscasting).","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/LBAEYblG9PZVYwjdm61Rf1UWRUyUQfQtnArxhuaMpYw/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS81MmRi/NTM1ZThmYjRiZDZj/ODBkMDc3Y2ZhNmEx/NmU0Mi5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
