In the Season 1 finale, Sara has a little gift for Luke and Sam before diving into the life and times of the Macedonian king and general Alexander the Great. The hosts revel in Irish accents galore. Sam investigates the four versions of the movie Alexander, including nudity, so that you don’t have to.

P.S. At 24 minutes, Sara says Pelopponesian Wars when she should have said Persian Wars. Whoops!
