I keep in touch with my friend Dave Kinnaman over Zoom. We talk carpentry, history, and literature. Things got pretty wild when I dove in deep discussing two famous documentaries: Ken Burns’ Vietnam and The Last Days of Vietnam on PBS. Both of these documentaries were outstanding efforts to understand and convey the toxic American experience in Asia. Unfortunately, most of this conversation was lost which we recognize now days as a part of the Zoom experience. Also unfortunately, Dave and I digressed greatly in the making of this episode and our conversation we covered so many topics that were, well, off topic that I had to cut them out. In this episode we discuss the glory of HBOMax, Peter Jackson and how literature finds itself on film. Thanks for listening to the Super 70 Podcast.
