Episode 7 streamed last night. It comes on Sunday’s.

And this whole season we thought it was Mondays at 8

Can you or anyone give me the red light/green light on Iron Eagle? Gosset’s got me

Definitely the first one though I haven't seen it in more than three decades so not sure how it holds up. Cannot confirm whether the three(?) sequels are any good. (I probably saw Iron Eagle 2 but it apparently didn't leave a lasting impression.)

Three action-war movies of that era:

"Uncommon Valor" with Gene Hackman: Rescuing POWs from Vietnam before Rambo made it fashionable.

"Force 10 from Navaronne" with Harrison Ford, Carl Weathers, Robert Shaw: This was on replay all the time on HBO when I was a kid. It's your typical behind enemy lines WW2 popcorn flick.

"Red Dawn" the most Cold War turned Hot War flick you will ever see this side of "The Day After." It actually scared the crap of me when I was a kid. Russians invade the U.S. and a rag tag group of teens kill a bunch of them.

Another Gene Hackman Vietnam Movie Bat21. The book was absolutely riveting

Last night finally caught up to Conclave. Tucci and Fienes were great.

Movie, pretty well done IMO, but the last 5 minutes sucked. A great 1:55 movie.

BTW, the new Pope's mom and dad graduated from DePaul and he lives right outside Chicago, but goes to Villanova, DePaul gets out-recruited every step of the way.
