Rosie the Reviewer: a WW2 movies and shows podcast

This week on Rosie, we're talking about Trial on the Road, a Soviet movie shot in 1971 but suppressed for 15 years and not released until 1986. It follows Red Army sergeant Lazarev, a former collaborator who tries to redeem himself with a partisan group operating behind German lines. Any guesses as to why it was banned for so long?🖥️ Visit our website: www.rosiethereviewer.com📸 Follow us on Instagram: @rosiethereviewerpodcast💬 Join the conversation, share with a friend, and leave a review.

This week, we're discussing Winter in Wartime (Oorlogswinter, 2008), based on Jan Terlouw's beloved 1972 Dutch youth novel of the same name. The film follows a teenager named Michiel in the freezing winter of 1944-45, as the Netherlands suffers a famine under German occupation. When an RAF pilot falls from the sky into the woods near his village and his initial rescuer is incapacitated, Michiel must help the airman instead.Great excuse for Maartje to talk a bit about the Netherlands during the occupation.🖥️ Visit our website: www.rosiethereviewer.com📸 Follow us on Instagram: @rosiethereviewerpodcast💬 Join the conversation, share with a friend, and leave a review.

This week, we're discussing Schindler's List (1993). Bit late, perhaps, but worth the wait? We're both convinced that this is Steven Spielberg's best movie. 🖥️ Visit our website: www.rosiethereviewer.com📸 Follow us on Instagram: @rosiethereviewerpodcast💬 Join the conversation, share with a friend, and leave a review.

This week on Rosie, we're discussing They Who Dare (1954), directed by Lewis Milestone. Based on the true story of Operation Anglo, it follows a mixed group of British and Greek commandos on a raid to destroy Axis airfields on the island of Rhodes in September 1942. We dig into the real mission and mostly whether the flag-waving is quieter than the American kind or just better at hiding it.🖥️ Visit our website: www.rosiethereviewer.com📸 Follow us on Instagram: @rosiethereviewerpodcast💬 Join the conversation, share with a friend, and leave a review.

This week on Rosie, we're discussing the movie 1941 (1979), directed by Steven Spielberg. It's a comedy, believe it or not, about invasion panic in Los Angeles after the attack on Pearl Harbor. With a cast that includes John Belushi, John Candy, Dan Aykroyd, Toshiro Mifune, and Christopher Lee, it should have been a lot funnier than it was.🖥️ Visit our website: www.rosiethereviewer.com📸 Follow us on Instagram: @rosiethereviewerpodcast💬 Join the conversation, share with a friend, and leave a review.
