Episode 278: Born on the Fourth of July

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Oliver Stone’s powerful 1989 biographical drama Born on the Fourth of July, starring Tom Cruise in a career-defining role as Vietnam veteran Ron Kovic. We explore how the film portrays Kovic’s journey from idealistic youth and proud Marine to paralyzed anti-war activist, examining its raw depiction of trauma, disillusionment, and the cost of blind patriotism.
