August 17, 2018 Hacksaw Ridge
Hacksaw Ridge, a film so powerful that it revived Mel Gibson’s career. However, was the movie really that great? If you look at online reviews the answer is yes, but not everyone agrees. Today, Henry speaks with screenwriter Matthew Kotowski on Hacksaw Ridge, war films and whitewashing in Hollywood. The conversations went a bit longer than expected so we will be splitting this one into two separate episodes.

August 14, 2018 From the Middle East to Roman Polanski
In this episode of BroHistory, I discuss with Judah Shleifer how the Sykes-Picot Agreement led to the modern day borders of the Middle East. Well, at least that was our original intention. We started off on topic but somehow the conversation drifted towards Birthright Israel, Hollywood scandals, Harvey Weinstein and Roman Polanski.
I believe it was a Larry King who said that a good interview always goes completely off topic. (Don’t quote me on that).
Regardless, this episode was a lot of fun to record so naturally it should be a lot of fun to listen to.

Iran-Contra was more than just a political scandal—it linked CIA-backed drug trafficking, secret arms deals to Iran, and a bloody civil war in Nicaragua. We break down how the Reagan administration funneled weapons to Tehran and used the profits to fund brutal contras, all while crack cocaine tore through U.S. cities. Journalist Gary Webb exposed the CIA’s ties to Freeway Ricky Ross, only to be destroyed by the media—until it all turned out to be true. How did America’s Cold War paranoia create a perfect storm of corruption, chaos, and cover-ups?
