Customer Reviews
Excellent Podcast
Love the topic and the angle of movie review from a historical perspective! Very interesting shows so far, looking forward to more from you!
Really really good
Love the depth of the context you provide. Learned a ton. Just hope you find the time to make more.
What actually happened
For the average movie goer a 1-2 hour dramatized visual recounting of history is plenty. But for the movie buff who wants to dive deeper into a story, or more particularly the history behind a movie then you need to listen to this podcast.
Jason, unfolds a timeline of historical events to help keep Hollywood honest. From movies such as Dunkirk to The Post we are given a glimpse into the geopolitical climate at the time of the movies plot.
Listening to this podcast will give the listener a greater understanding of history as it actually happened. I highly recommend this to any history/movie buff who has the desire to take one step further into the plot of a film and uncover its origins.
