A history podcast with a twist: Friendly Fire uses war movies as a point of entry on not only the history of war, but the history of how societies think about war.

The guys were the perfect mixture, a hell of a combination.
Love forever.
Friendly Fire is of the most intelligent and hilarious takes on history and foreign policy seen through the lens of war movies. It’s such a shame that this podcast was retired prematurely — the show provides valuable lessons about camaraderie, sticking with your crew when times get tough, and quite simply, being a good and loyal friend.

Let them eat beans!
