Description

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we welcome an extraordinary guest: Bruce McKenna, co-executive producer, creator, and principal writer of The Pacific, and writer of the Bastogne episode of Band of Brothers. We talk about the moral stakes of war, what made it into the episodes and what didn't, and why everything is about narrative and theme.

We explore Bruce’s creative process and the kind of stories he likes to tell. This one may change how you look at WWII media.
