An Interesting History Podcast, But …

“It’s a really interesting podcast, really informative, really detailed analysis in the “REEL” history of the time. However … Can I make a suggestion? What about doing an episode about a movie/TV show with women as the main character(s). I’ve binged-listened to all the episodes (including the “bonus” episodes) during the past month while I was getting ready for work (mostly ‘cause I happened to find a YouTube video about Hamilton (the musical) from them & they mentioned this podcast there) & they are VERY few episodes on WOMEN of history. I was happy that they included a woman in the episode about the Top 5 Schemers & that this did an episode on The Last Duel, BUT that was it!! 😒 You like missing 50% of the population, guys!! There’s recently been a lot of good movies/TV shows over the recent years about women!! Not all good historical movies HAVE to a big battle scene at the end, guys, or HAVE to be a big action movie to be a good movie! 😒 Some just have a good “battle of words” as opposed to battles with swords and guns … 😉 Some of the movies I’m thinking of are Harriet (about the true “Gryffindor” of history, Harriet Tubman (I’m a Potterhead, too 😉)), The Help, Radium Girls (about young women who worked with radium before they knew that it was really dangerous), Bomb Girls (about the young women who actually made the bombs for WWII; it’s actually a Canadian TV show, I’m not sure if you can find it where you live; it also has a really gruesome scene where one of the women gets badly hurt, but that’s just in the 1st episode), Hidden Figures, The Astronaut Wives Club (about the astronaut’s wives in the ‘60’s during the space race; another TV show), Mary: Queen of Scots (more about the relationship between Mary & Elizabeth, rather than JUST about Mary herself; there’s a scene that DEFINITELY didn’t happen in there 😉). Another good one about Mary: Queen of Scots is actually the teen show Reign. Now, just because it’s a teen TV show doesn’t mean, there’s no violence; there’s PLENTY of violence, don’t worry. Plus, there are a lot of historical inaccuracies in there too … 😉 Also, there are plenty of good movies with people of color recently too. Here are just a couple: Just Mercy (about a black lawyer in the ‘80’s in Alabama) & Marshall (about Thurgood Marshall BEFORE he won the famous Brown v. Board of Education case in the 50’s). You can probably tell which kinds of movies/TV shows I mainly like … About Civil Rights & Women Rights!! 😊 And you can also probably tell which country I’m from, too; all of these are American … But one I would also recommend that is NOT American that could be fun to watch is Merlin, the TV show. It’s ab earlier one; it has since ended, but it’s a really good show (also with strong female characters). Now, I know what you’re thinking: Merlin’s not real; he’s just a legend (Or is he? Remember, Potterhead over here 😅), BUT … I’d like to know what IS real. It’s also more of a kid show, so it doesn’t really have a lot of violence (although it DOES have sword fighting, but you don’t really see a lot of blood & gore), but it’s still a really good show! And since it’s more for kids, it’s funny, too, with a lot of slap stick humor in it!! Oh, and there’s one more American movie that you guys may like: Lincoln (about Abe Lincoln, the 16th president of the U.S., you know the one who “ended” slavery … 😉); it’s also a more older one now, from 2012. Okay, “that’s all, folks!” (Name that U.S. cartoon! 😅)”

“The podcast is full of quality banter between 3 friends, 2 history buffs and one who’s a bit clueless there. Good one there.”
