Friendly Fire

Welcome to Friendly Fire, the war movie podcast that - if it accomplished nothing else - made you watch Come and See. I’m show producer Rob Schulte…here to announce that this is the end of the line for Friendly Fire. We’ve seen a lot of great movies together, and we’ve also seen USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage. But no matter what war movie we talked about, all of us who work on the show are going to miss these conversations, and we’d like to take this moment to express our gratitude to everyone who listened, supported the show, bought merchandise, and came to see the show live. If you’re a MaxFun member who supports the show, you can update your membership at maximumfun.org/manage Thanks for a few great years of podcasting. This is Friendly Fire signing off. Expend all remaining ordinance inside our perimeter.
