Ep 78 – U-571 – A Deep Dive into This Submarine Thriller


Listen Later

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we take on U-571 (2000) with returning guest Katie. This tense, incredibly fictional tale is all about American submariners capturing a German U-boat and its Enigma machine. It's got Matthew McConaughey, Jon Bon Jovi and Matthew Settle and everyone's damp. We explore the claustrophobic depictions and why the British were fuming about this one.

Including some real-life naval details, from the cramped quarters of the U-505 to the history of segregated Black sailors in WWII (because, let's be real, this movie does no historical heavy lifting).
