Did Jef and Jon enjoy this movies subtle themes? Or did they find the entire thing to be sub par? One things for sure, watch this movie with sub-titles on. SUB JOKES!

Oh man, after listening to this I remembered that there was ANOTHER submarine-based comedy back in the really early 90’s. It was titled Going Under and it starred Bill Pullman as the captain of the submarine USS Standard. Yes, the sub Standard. Which is about the level of comedy you have through the movie. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099675/
Usually, Jef is chronically Wrong About Movies, but in this case, he is correct – Lauren Holly is 100% DTF by the end of the film.
They had wargames in Dirty Dozen but it wasn’t the driving story.
