This week we start off our Godzilla vs Kong miniseries with the original 1954 Godzilla movie!! Join us as we discuss Godzilla, Monster Movies, H-bomb testing, and the differences between the original and international versions of this movie

Instead of discussing a movie this time we are glad to bring you an interview with Jason Herbert, creator of Historians at the Movies on Twitter. We discuss how history and film intersect and how there are so many ways to view a film as historical. Jason was a great guest and we hope you all enjoy the interview!! 

In this episode, we talk about the Greatest Showman and the real life of P T Barnum. 

In this episode, Antonio, Nick, and Topher talk about Mel Brooks' The Producers (2005), the history of Broadway, and famous cons.

In this episode, Nick and Antonio talk about the movie X-Men: First Class, the Cuban Missile Crisis, strange Cold War projects, the history of the X-Men, and how they relate to civil rights. 

Welcome to our first episode! In this episode, we look at The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez. It is a thrilling story of a 600 person manhunt for a man wronged by the law. Not only is it an amazing film, but it also allows us to talk about border conflict, border ballads, and the darker history of the Texas Rangers.
