Join The Mate Night Podcast on their journey to rank every film ever made. This week, episode 5, explores Stanley Kubrick's Full Metal Jacket (1987) considered one of the holy trinity of Vietnam War movie classics. As usual, it is their job to rate this film in 9 different categories:

How much Fred enjoyed itHow much Jambo enjoyed itPlotCharacterDialoguePerformanceVisualsSound, andGenre realisation. They will take the average across the 9 areas to finish with a perfectly accurate score representing how enjoyable, and how good, Full Metal Jacket really is. This score is held up against the other classics already in the cinefiles, including the Godfather, Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Apocalypse Now amongst many others. Aside from the rankings of this film, the question which guides this whole segment is: Full Metal Jacket, should you watch it?

In addition to this, 4 special segments have been included in this episode, titled:

Neither of the hosts have any idea what they are talking about and so if you are a beginner, an everyman, someone who doesn't know films, then this will be digestible for you. If you are a film expert, this may be a bit more like watching your 8 year old kid playing football: great to watch but you could absolutely mince them on the field.
