In this episode, I'm joined by Alice Lovejoy, author of Tales of Militant Chemistry: The Film Factory in a Century of War, a fascinating exploration of how film has shaped — and been shaped by — modern warfare, propaganda, industry, and scientific power.

We talk about cinema as a political tool, how film factories became part of war efforts, how science and technology were turned into spectacle, and why moving images have played such a powerful role in shaping how we understand conflict.

If you're interested in film history, media power, propaganda, or the hidden stories behind wartime cinema, this conversation will change the way you watch movies.
