  • Love the pod

    I love the pod! Have you thought of doing Rush from 2013? It’s a sports film about the 1976 Formula 1 season and how insane it was. I highly recommend it. Anyway, keep doing you, Rup!

  • George Lucas' preferred history podcast

    If it's good enough for the guy who created Indiana Jones and Jar Jar Binks it's good enough for me. I'm hoping for cameos from other celebrities too!

Episode #150: The Iron Claw Ft. Brian Nashel
Q: Was she cast or was it she just happened to be there?
She was cast through a friend who wanted to prank her, as no one knew who she was back then, and it was part of a segment that didn't involve her knowing what was happening.

Q: What did your uncle say about the movie?
My uncle was rattling on about how he couldn't finish it because of the way it disrespected scripture, among other things.
