The Wild Geese - with Tim Shipman

Pop down to Africa, would you, and pull off a quick coup? This week, Rob and Duncan are joined by Tim Shipman to watch the most 1978 film ever released. Richard Burton! Richard Harris! Roger Moore! It's The Wild Geese!

Problematic moments, war crimes, it's got them all - or has it? Marvel as Duncan explains that the Geneva Convention might not apply. Thrill as Tim describes how, in a way, the film is sort of a documentary. Inspired by one group of mercenaries, it ended up inspiring another group of mercenaries, who themselves inspired a third group of mercenaries.

Next week, we're watching Ronald Reagan - yes, that Ronald Reagan - in "Prisoner of War". Find it here: https://youtu.be/uUhJVRCMN6U?si=XHxsSNf2cNjH0fCB or here: https://archive.org/details/prisoner-of-war
