Join me, Maggie Mae Fish (she/her) as I explore the themes of the first Rambo movie (First Blood) and David Lynch's quietly beautiful film, The Straight Story. I'm joined by my friend, and veteran, Cristian Ramirez (he/him) who gives us some insights into his experiences in the Army, and with the VA.
