Summary: 167 - We are back with the latest episode in our 'Lat Pack: Past & Present' mini-series, and boy this is the big one. The prototype. The blueprint. It's RAMBO.

Did this define a genre all its own? Or do we need to look at other 1985 heavy hitters, Commando and Rocky IV? Tune in and find out.
