Episode 285 - Ballad of the Little Soldier (1984) 10/12/2018 Hi everyone! Welcome back to Film Buff Fridays! I’m staying in 1984 for this week, but instead of the usual morally clear popcorn films, I’m going with probably the exact opposite: a short documentary about the effects of the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua, and child soldiers.

So, it makes sense to check out the source material, and I’ve been looking for an excuse for a re-watch anyway. For other films from the early 1980s, check out “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8thDimension” (Episode #194), “Stripes” (Episode #236), and “Escape from New York” (Episode
