BREAKING PODCAST NEWS – Twenty-eight years ago, the bar for World War II movies was raised considerably with the release of Steven Spielberg’s unforgettable “Saving Private Ryan,” a film that has become a personal favorite over the years.

This week on Saturday Night at the Movies, film historian and filmmaker Steve Mitchell and military technical advisor for film and television Rory Aylward and I celebrate this film classic, that cast, those scenes and the impact the film made.
