  Year One 2009

  ★★★★★ Watched 25 Dec 2023

  Nostalgia for "I just like guns and freedom" conspiratorial conservatism a la Dale Gribble plays out in fantastic fashion with Reba and Michael Gross (still starring in the sequels) and remains a must see scene of destructive mayhem that has been burned into my mind from youth - this movie still holds up.

  I'm curious if the sequels do, "Assblasters? In the Arctic?"
