Celluloid Chronicles: A Historical Movie Podcast

Brick and Birdy

Long-time besties, and history and film enthusiasts, Brick and Birdy bring you tantalizing facts and inaccuracy drama as they explore a new period film each episode. Listen in as they discuss, and sometimes rage, about the making of the film, the history the film is set against, and all other relevant, and maybe not so relevant, matters as they see fit. You could almost say, they’ll be in their period.

    Episode 10: Killers of the Flower Moon Part One

    Brick and Birdy took the deepest dive into the dark and sadly under-told story of The Osage Murders through the 2023 film Killers of the Flower Moon. They put on their true crime hats and dive into the actual murders, the context surrounding why they happened, and because of the genuine dedication to this story, they have made this a two parter, so stay tuned for part Two. Birdy will later discuss what is still happening today as well in an Outtake Episode. They have also provided all the sources now, so you can follow along. Thank you for sticking with us, as we've gone OFF schedule, in order to dedicate more quality time with these stories.  Sources Killers of the Flower Moon (film) - WikipediaRed Media Patreon LinkAuthor David Grann on having "Killers of the Flower Moon" Adapted into a FilmEpisode 109 - Osage Murders: The True Story Behind 'Killers Of The Flower Moon' - History Uncovered | Podcast on Spotify|How Killers of the Flower Moon Lies - Let Me Explain (2023)How the Osage Changed Martin Scorsese’s Mind About "Killers of the Flower Moon"Inside the FBI Podcast: The Osage Murders | Federal Bureau of InvestigationInside the real life tragedy behind 'Killers of the Flower Moon' | NightlineKillers of the Flower Moon: Native American Perspectives & Story | PWNAKillers of the Flower Moon vs. True Story of Osage Murders‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ I… - The Big Picture - Apple Podcasts'Killers of the Flower Moon' traces the murders of Osage familiesOpinion | The Real Story Behind ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ is Much Worse - POLITICOOsage Indian murders - WikipediaRPH vs. Killers of the Flower MoonSeason 24: The Osage Murders - American ScandalThe Osage Murders That Inspired "Killers of the Flower Moon" | MFM 493The Osage Murders Pt. 1 - Serial Killers | Podcast on SpotifyThe Osage Murders: The True Story Behind "Killers of the Flower Moon"The Osage Murders | A Shrinkin… - American Scandal - Apple PodcastsThe Real History Behind 'Killers of the Flower Moon'The True Story Behind KillSend a text
