“I have been a fan of History of England for years. To say I trust David Crowther‘s assessments of history would be an understatement. I don‘t always agree with him, but he is a very honest historian and an extraordinarily engaging Podcaster. I happily listened recently to the Oppenheimer and...”Read full review »

“This my favorite podcast. It doesn’t matter to me if I’ve seen the movie or not, I love listening to David and Wolf’s banter as they discuss it. I really hope they will do more in 2023/2024!”

“Don't come to this thinking you are getting more of the David Crowther of The History of England. This is a bombastic, belligerent, and rather obnoxious Crowther, who comes up with absurdities such as: for Land and Freedom - despite the tens of millions killed by Communists and the hundreds...”Read full review »

“What a joy to discover that David has a second podcast! The intergenerational exchange that he and Wolf share is delightful (I’m way closer to David’s era) and helps put the films into context. I’m not very knowledgeable about film but have enjoyed their take on the ones I know (Lion in Winter...”Read full review »

“I love the banter between David and Wolf. They bring up interesting historical and cinematic points. I know that David has been through a lot recently and I wish David well and that he has a full recovery. Also....perhaps selfishly, I’d like to ask if there are any plans to record new episodes...”Read full review »

“I am an avid podcast listener. Podcasts have improved the quality of my life and my favorite podcaster is David Crowther. I subscribe to over a dozen podcasts and the best two are History of England and History in Technicolor. I am looking forward to the return of History in Technicolor.”

“David and Wolf (or Wolfy) have a delightful rapport with each other. They're smart, insightful, and hilarious, and their deep dives into these sometimes near-perfect but mostly flawed historical films is something I very much look forward to being a part of as a listener. Ian Holm forever!”Read full review »

“Wolf and David’s banter always brings a smile to my soul and often a chuckle, to boot. Often enough I haven’t seen the film and might very well not get around to it, but it is still great to hear their discussion. The rival line-ups of historical personalities for Bill and Ted’s ... was typical...”Read full review »

“Now they are just silly, unprepared and think they are terribly entertaining with their immature stupid digressions. I mean “stupid digressions” in both senses because many of these are themselves cracking up about how little they know about the subject.”

“You two wacky lads had way too much fun with this episode! I always get a giggle from your quips, but this time I nearly died! I’d just taken a hearty swallow of my beverage when the subject of fig leaf comparisons...arose. Well played, sirs.”

“I’ve been a fan of “The history of England” podcast and a fan of David Crowther, I am now a fan of Wolf too. This is a lighter and more conversational podcast, just as informative, well produced (especially so for two blokes in a shed) and thoroughly engaging. I am now searching out their choices...”Read full review »

Podcast is informative and fun, especially the approach from different generations and fields of expertise. David comes across intelligent and well...”Read full review »

It's made me look out a couple of the films discussed, and consider why I feel the way I do about them. Highly...”Read full review »

“David Crowther brings his love of history and Wolf his love of cinema for some highly entertaining debate and contrasting perspectives on films. They discuss a diverse array of films and introduce them in a way that stimulates your desire to see the films they discuss.”

“I’ve been a big fan of David Crowther’s amazing podcast “The History of England”, all 260 or more episodes, and I really enjoy this new podcast has well. He and his friend Wolf discuss historical movies, judging them based on factors such as historical accuracy and overall content. It’s a bit...”Read full review »

“I’ve loved David’s History of England’s podcast for years. Here he teams up with Wolf, the perfect cohost, for a rollicking look at historical films. I may disagree with some of their conclusions regarding the artistic merit of the films, but I love the journey. After all, that’s what matters....”Read full review »

“Sometimes you just like/dislike a film without actually really thinking about why... this podcast makes you think about lots of other aspects, not to change your mind about how to feel about it, but just to think more deeply. Thoroughly enjoyable.”

“It feels sacreligious to give one star to a pod co-hosted by the inimitable David Crowther, but therein lies the rub: it's co-hosted. And the co-host makes the show unlistenable, because you can't listen after throwing your phone at the wall.
Regarding the superb historical film A Man...”Read full review »
