A history podcast with a twist: Friendly Fire uses war movies as a point of entry on not only the history of war, but the history of how societies think about war. John Roderick, Adam Pranica and Benjamin Ahr Harrison dissect movies from throughout the history of cinema, talk about film production, pedantic quibbles with costumes and airplanes, and keep you laughing the entire time.

Customer Reviews
Wish it was back!!! Quicks the word and sharps the action.
Love and miss the podcast. The two younger dudes can definitely get cringy with the uwu woke stuff but over all really funny and entertaining. Definitely does feel like a conversation amongst friends.
It’s got bean dad though
Loved the pod but bean dad is in this one you guys. This one’s got bean dad, so that’s something.
4/5 War Movies
I saw a lot of great films I never would have without this podcast, so for that I’m thankful.
It’s a shame they cancelled themselves due to silly stuff on Twitter.
My guys ranked:
Adam (the Everyman)
John (the Historian)
Ben (the Pedant)
