For today's episode, Stephan leads the group in discussing the genre-defining war epic that is Saving Private Ryan. We'll be talking a lot about the massive scale of the production (especially the opening scene), Spielberg's improvisational directing style, the cinematography, and whether this film is anti-war or not.
