Today on The Movie Defenders we revisit a forgotten classic which got lost in the shuffle of the time... Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World! This Peter Weir gem is one of the best movies ever made in our humble opinion, and we're going to tell you all about why! But first, we unpack and discuss our Top 5 Historical Dramas of all time. So prepare the batten down the hatches, run out the cannons, and always choose the lesser of two weevils... it's time for Master and Commander on The Movie Defenders podcast!
