Transmissions from the Forbidden Planet

Transmission #22 ”History in the Making”


Listen Later

History is malleable they say. Written by the winners of wars, yadda yadda yadda. Well over the last hundred years, historical knowledge has been influenced by filmmakers. Not necessarily a good thing. Screenwriters and directors like to take liberties with historical facts in order to tell a better story. Those liberties have a tendency to seep into the public conscience.

***********SPOILERS*************

In case you give a crap about these movies and TV Shows, here’s a list of the ones we will spoiler in this episode.

Mindhunters, Zodiac, Alexander the Great, Apollo 13, Rush, Ford vs. Ferrari, The Spanish Princess, The White Queen, The White Princess, The Tudors, Amadeus, Immortal Beloved, The Northman, Vikings, Barry Lyndon, Band of Brothers, and Saving Private Ryan.
