A different David Crowther

“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 of millions repressed by them - a filmmaker can't criticise communists within a movie about the Comunists and other Spanish Republican factions, unless also having an equal go at the fascists (as if we need movies to tell us that fascism is bad). This example also represents a common but tiresome criticism made by Crowther & O'Neill: that the film-makers didn't quite make the film they wanted (often, didn't push the political or historical spin they preferred). This sort of comment has little to do with the intrinsic merits of the films, and much more to do with these reviewers wanting to have their personal perspectives reinforced.”Read full review »

“Super fun and informative! I really enjoy the variety of movies they pick and how well they summarize the history. 10/10 for entertainment plus 10/10 for historical accuracy!”

“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 »
