December 03, 2023 BLAH 185 | Napoleon, way too short and way too long, with Steven Attewell
Ridley Scott’s new epic “Napoleon” sure is divisive and polarizing. It takes two historians to get the definitive judgement on the movie, and it’s greatly helped that we are in agreement: this movie is either way too short or way too long. Either one.

September 24, 2023 BLAH 182 | A Tale of Two Germanies - Zero Hour, with Jim McGeehin
Jim and I started a new subseries in our ongoing coverage of German history. This time, we will cover the divided Germany after World War II up until reunification. In our first installment, we set the scene in 1945, directly after the war. How did Germany look, and how was its outlook? And what is the myth of Zero Hour?

August 05, 2023 BLAH 180 | Best of ASOAIF - The Hound’s Origin Speech, with Sean T. Collins
Origin stories are a Hollywood trope. Oftentimes, they’re rote and uninteresting, but if done right, they can recontextualize and enrich characters you never thought would rise above mid-level anti-hero-badassery. Case in point: the Hound, who gives the speech of a lifetime to Sansa in “A Game of Thrones”.
