Hitler's Madman

Reinhard Heydrich sucks. Like real bad. Like he's in blue ribbon contention at the Nazi 4H show. You know... where kids raise Nazis themselves and show them off at the Exhibition before sending them off to slaughter as a character-building exercise? We're getting off track here. Big picture: He sucked so bad that people killed him. He needed killin', sure, but it also cost the world the village of Lidice. Is this the ultimate portrayal of this man's fall? Or little more than a well-intentioned propaganda film? Jason and Brendan, as usual, are happy to tell you.    Next week: Back to ..read more

The Zone of Interest

Jonathan Glazer returns to the fold on this week's special presentation! Not content with the worlds of sexy criminal maniacs and sexy alien maniacs, the venerable director turns his sights on those decidedly unsexy, genocidal maniacs - The Nazis with 2023's The Zone of Interest! The banality of evil - a murder machine run by boring people in a boring society shutting out the horrors around them either by learned ignorance or sheer force of will. Nazis suck.   Next week: Thomas Mapother Cruise makes his debut on the podcast! Questions? Comments? Suggestions? You can always shoot us an e ..read more

There ain’t but two kinda of people in this world: those who listen to us and those who dig. Congrats - by downloading this podcast you’ve saved yourself from manual labour when we get our own gold. Until then, we ask Our Question: "Is This Movie a War Movie or Is This Not a War Movie?!" The Civil War rages around them, but do Blondie and Tuco help with the war effort? Why is Angel Eyes a sergeant in the Union Army? Did the Union have its own Andersonville? Are bridges worth anything? Jason and Brendan set out to the open range to find out!   Next week: All Quiet take 2. Questions? Comme ..read more

This week, the fellas head to 1950s Korea with the Anthony Mann film Men in War! They debate if the movie takes Benson or Montana's point of view in terms of battle conduct and then discuss other topics like the career of James Edwards and the unfortunate "legacy" of Stepin Fetchit, the movie infuriating the Pentagon, the use (and absence) of music and much more.   Next week: It's gonna get good, bad and...
