RAMBO FIRST BLOOD (1982) | First Time Watching After Reading the Book

After John recently finished reading David Morrell's original First Blood novel, we realized something crucially important... neither of us had ever actually seen the movie!! So what better way to watch for the first time than here! John grew up in an anti-Stallone household, so this was a total blindspot. And for Cami? Well, it makes sense why she never saw First Blood lol-- but Ladies and Gents, sweaty Stallone in the forest did not disappoint. So buckle up and prepare yourself for a surprisingly emotional and deep action movie. 🥩 TV TRAY SNACK Beef Jerky Inspired by the novel! John remembered Rambo surviving off dried meat taken from one of the dead men while hiding in the wilderness, so we figured beef jerky was the most fitting survival snack we could have. No fancy recipes this time... just something you could throw in a backpack and disappear into the forest with. 💧 TV TRAY DRINK Rain Water™ (okay... tap water😅) We fully committed to the survivalist lifestyle for this one. Only rain water for us. ;) First Blood is directed by Ted Kotcheff (North Dallas Forty, Uncommon Valor, Weekend at Bernie’s) and stars Sylvester Stallone (Rocky, Cobra, Cliffhanger) as John Rambo. The film also features Richard Crenna (Wait Until Dark, Hot Shots! Part Deux) as Colonel Sam Trautman and Brian Dennehy (Tommy Boy, Presumed Innocent) as Sheriff Will Teasle. 🍿 FULL-LENGTH UNCUT REACTIONS If you want the full watch-along experience (no edits, fully synced) + bonus content: 👉 Patreon: patreon.com/tvtraycinema 👋 NEW HERE?
