103. "To End All Wars" (2001)
Tonight we look at a movie very concerned with real-life events and real-life people from the War. The makers of 2001's "To End All Wars" probably thought it would be a big movie/Oscars contender. But... something happened on the way to cinematic glory. We'll examine what that was, and whether TEAW is still salvageable... Asides include Kiefer Sutherland movies, "Bridge on the River Kwai," and September 2001. Drop us a line at worldwartwomovienight@gmail.com Check out our X at http://twitter.com/WWIIMovieNight

102. "Phoenix" (2014)
Tonight's selection is 2014's "Phoenix," a German vehicle highly thought-of in some circles. Upon the war's end, camp-survivor Nelly returns to a Berlin very different from the one she left. Everyone has something to hide, and questions are not welcome. But when Nelly starts to see certain faces she questions what happened to her friends and, most of all, her husband. See if WWIIMN thinks as highly of this European drama as others do... asides include Men's Health magazine and its take on World War II movies, and the sad basement-apartment I had in college.

101. "Mister Roberts" (1955)
World War II Movie Night returns with a classic, 1955's "Mister Roberts." Follow Henry Fonda (the titular character) as he juggles the dysfunction of his ship, from the dire morale to a vindictive captain (Jack Cagney) to the unruly Ensign Pulver (Jack Lemmon, who won an Oscar for the role). Palm trees, nurses and a goat keep things humming... asides include the legendary John Ford (and how he treated his actors), Betsy Palmer's unlikely late-career boon, and my thoughts on a certain dynamic of the the man-woman thing.

World War II Movie Night comes back from the dead for a bonus episode! We break with normal format for a... clipshow! Yes, we count down the top 10 scenes ever played on the podcast, plus two for educational purposes. Who will make the cut? And how much will you disagree? LOL.

100. "Dunkirk" (2017)
This is it! World War II Movie Night's 100th episode! Some celbratory plaudits are followed by a big announcement. As for the movie, it's one that was planned for the 100th episide before even the first one was recorded, 2017's "Dunkirk." Christopher Nolan parlayed the cash and clout from his Batman trilogy to bring his passion project into existence: a multi-layered take on one of the lesser-known stories from the war: the then-Allies being pushed to the sea in the Battle of France, and the frantic attempts to evacuate them. So sit back and enjoy the biggest milestone a podcast can have!... asides include many thoughts on having a podcast, and the importance of not mixing up Tom Hardy and Tom Brady.
