BONUS: Enemy at the Gates

So a weird thing about this movie is that all the main characters, except Konig, are real people named in memoirs and historical accounts. Tanya, Danilov, Sasha, even Ron Pearlman's character, but almost everything about them was fictionalized. The real Tanya was wounded by a mine when another member of her female sniper team triggered one, and just to bring down the mood, the real Sasha was shot by a German firing squad in front of his mother.

Worst sex scene ever??!! I disagree strongly! Her eyes are incredible...that's what I remember

Gee, your media literacy wasn't the best in 2020, was it? Sacha was never pro-German. He was always giving him false informations though he blundered sometimes (because he's a kid without proper spy formation duh!) Even the nazi sniper came to understand it, that's why he said that it made it easier for him to do "what I'm about to do" (murder Sacha and use his corpse as bait).

Movie suggestion: If you haven’t watched “Alexander,” please do. It may be one of the worst and most hilarious films in human history.

The only thing that is surprising is that you're the first person who noticed this. lol

...Mikhail... Khrushchev. Do y'all mean Nikita?

Evan Weiss

Great episode guys, I just got put on furlough and I really needed a laugh..

Daniele Belussi

Great episode, guys. I saw this when I was 13 and the only two things I remember are the sex scene and Joseph Fiennes' stupid communism speech. Check out Battle of Sevastopol. It's an OK movie about Lyudmila Pavlichenko, the sniper who had 309 confirmed kills and then toured the US with Eleanor Roosevelt. Woody Guthrie's in it, and there's a love triangle too. With Lyudmila and two other guys, not Woody and Eleanor.
