History According to Hollywood

Act 2 of Season 3 begins with James Cameron's Titanic. Joined by Ryan Estrada, International traveler and Comic Book creator, the boys are taking a ride on one of the world's most famous doomed voyages. The movie 95% of the world's population has seen and most of them saw it in theaters, the beauty, the romance, the suspense, the tragedy. Let's take a ride on, TITANIC!

Returning Guest and WWI Expert Samuel Griffin is in the studio once again to break down another WWI film. This time it's Flyboys from 2006 starring James Franco. This critical and Box office flop went down in flames upon initial release, but does it deserve another fly over? Let's lower our goggles, spin our propellers, and find out!

Today the boys are joined by Josh from the Screens From the Stone Age Podcast. He's a well educated historian that specializes in Pre-History which is convenient because this week we are talking about 10,000 B.C. or as most people call it, the worst movie ever made.

This week the boys dive into this strange, brutal, badass movie that garnered instant cult classic status, The Northman. Directed by Robert Eggers and starring a plethora of Hollywood Favorites, this recent release flew under the radar and bombed at the box office, but did it deserve it's lack of recognition? Let's find out!

Today the boys are joined by Jason from the Dads From the Crypt Podcast. The three brave souls dive deep into this fever dream inducing masterpiece. Keanue Reeves, Anthony Hopkins, Vampires, Rodents, Ships, Trains, literally everything you could ever want is in this movie. Let's go!

The Boys are back for a New Season! Today we are talking about Billy the Kid and his Regulators in this 1988 surprise hit, Young Guns! With an amazing cast, a thorough screenwriter, and an absolute WILD real life scenario, this western was one of the first to revitalize the genre and lead into the resurgence of the 90's Western.

Let's take a trip down memory lane when CGI was bad and Hollywood still made good movies. In the land of make believe and made up locations, The Mummy somehow manages to party like it's 1999 and make us glad those days are long gone. ///\\\////This is our Season 2 finale, it's been a great season full of great episodes and moments but the summer heat and constant release schedule gives us no time to get out of our tombs and stretch our legs. Not to worry though, as Imhotep says, "Death is only the beginning"....season 3 will be coming soon.

10 years ago, this WWII tank epic snuck in and out of theaters without much publicity. A decade later, the boys reignite their excitement for this underrated epic. An incredible cast, an amazing premise, and enough testosterone in one tank to kill a grizzly bear. ON THE WAY!

One of the great lesser known stories out of WWII, The Great Escape is a movie about...well, a great escape. McQueen, Garner, Bronson, lots of British soldiers, some machine guns, tunnels, a motorcycle chase, this American Classic may be long in the tooth but it sure isn't lacking in substance.

DUDE! EXCELLENT! Hop in this phone booth and take a trip back to 1989. We're talking about a most radical exploration throughout history, dude. Pack your air guitars and rolling papers for this one, nothing bogus about this episode!!

Bringing laughs to Saigon since 1965, this Robin Williams film is best remembered for a single early scene. There is in fact an entire movie to digest so join us as we dig into this not so straight forward comedy and we hope this episode brightens your day like an Adrian Cronauer morning show.

The boys are heading to Texas this week to seek out this American Western Classic. John Wayne stars in The Searchers, a 1956 film about a couple guys looking for little Debbies...wait, looking for their niece Debbie who's been captured by Scar (not the lion). Some say it's a classic, some say it's overrated, we say...a lot of things! So listen and find out!

Our numbers theme continues as the boys are talking about one of the most famous baseball players to ever live, Jackie Robinson. Does this movie hit a home-run or strikeout? SWING on over to the episode and TOUCH BASE with us after you do.

THIS IS WHERE WE HOLD THEM, THIS IS WHERE WE FIGHT, THIS IS WHERE we talk about the 2006 blockbuster 300, one of the most quotable and memorable movies of the 2000's. Is it historical? Kinda. Is it accurate? Not really. Is it awesome? 300%.

Mandatory Tarantino continues with 2012's Django Unchained with an all star cast, hella blood, and a bunch of racists needing to die. Today we head South to bring some justice to an unjust land and save the princess in a castle surrounded by fire.

Our very first guest, WWI expert and friend of the show, Samuel Griffin joins us as we follow Paul, Kat, and some other German dudes into the trenches. Based on a novel, or a movie, or a remake of that movie, 2019's All Quiet swept the Oscars but does it impress the historians??

Kyle gets in yet another Mel Gibson classic, this time he's leading the charge against the British as our Country fights for Independence. Is it an 21st Century, American version of Braveheart full of historical inaccuracies? Guess we'll find out together.

Buh Dun Duhhhh, Buh Dun Duhhhh. That's right folks, we're stepping into the ring to face Ivan Drago where we find out, is it East vs. West, or man against man? (Yes those are song lyrics). Also, there might be a bonus ROCKY RANKING at the end of the podcast!

Dr.Strangelove or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb...yes that's the full title...is a Stanley Kubrick masterpiece that remains eerily relevant 60 years later. As mentioned at the start of the podcast, PLEASE WATCH THE MOVIE FIRST ON THIS ONE!!

Coming: Fall 1992. Daniel Day Lewis is a Native American... sort of. On this episode: What happens when Dustin trashes one of Kyle's favorite movies? Expect violence.
