"You're gonna need a good supply of body bags" for this playback review of the 1982 action classic First Blood. On the pod, we discuss the ten years this film spent in Development Hell, why Sylvester Stallone was against releasing it, casting alternatives including Steve McQueen as Rambo and Kirk Douglas as Trautman, and where does First Blood fall among other Vietnam vet movies like The Deer Hunter and Born on the 4th of July.
