Fantastic
This is a great podcast; much variety of movies discussed, very insightful, such witty banter, wow. Request: please do an entire episode surveying your opinions of various historical movies in terms of their historical (in)accuracy vs. their historical (in)authenticity. Or to put it another way, please review your favorite history movies in terms of the details vs. the vibe. For example; I loved your episode on Gladiator and how you had a lot of positive things to say about it even when you acknowledged parts that are a bit of a stretch historically, but where those liberties still serve the authenticity of the Roman culture the movie is communicating. ‘Master and Commander’ I think rates high in both historically accuracy and historically authenticity (ignoring for a moment that it’s a fiction), whereas ‘Elisabeth’ with Cate Blanchett seems wildly historically inaccurate yet still somehow feels historically authentic and communicates the vibe of this Tudor monarch pretty well—even whilst getting so many of the details wrong. I would be very curious to hear your thoughts on these types of films and what you think works well, what’s forgivable, and what’s not.

I love listening to this because it’s relaxing background sound. As someone who writes as a hobby it’s cool to hear media broken down and it inspires me to write more :)

The host is engaging enough, and has a good mix of guests, but it’s a bit tiresome to listen to ANOTHER movie podcast that basically spends most of the time simply rehashing the entire plot of the film being discussed. Urgh.
