We're back with another episode of FYC and this week we're taking up arms against Oliver Stone's semi-autobiographical 1986 war film, Platoon. Does the story of two embattled sargeants and the men who serve under them trying to survive their Vietnam experience deserve to stand with the greatest films of all-time? Go in country with Dustin and Mike as they explore the film and determine if Platoon is a masterpiece or a museum piece.
