    Ep 301 - Enter Leviathan, or, Why the Early Modern Period Sucked
    Nov 11 2026
    folks, we are back to talk about the Early Modern Period and why it was such an awful time to be alive unless you were in the absolute highest upper strata--and even then it wasn't great. we discuss it a lot in very vague terms, so we decided to do more of a deep dive about why it was so awful to live from about 1453-1800, not as a moral judgment of those people who lived at that time but instead because the birth of the modern world was an absolute horror show for the entire planet and you didn't even have modern medicine or air conditioning yet. this is when the Leviathan is born into the world

    Ep 299 - Army of Darkness Review
    Oct 28 2026
    folks, it's time for us to review Sam Raimi's 1992 cult classic Army of Darkness, starring Bruce Campbell. never has a movie that takes place exclusively in the Middle Ages cared so little about the setting but still largely nailed it regardless. set in 1300 CE in England, the movie is largely concerned with letting Bruce Campbell do great facial acting, Raimi's stop-motion fun, and slapstick. the Middle Ages are just a trapping, a setting used to illustrate the fish out of water nature of someone traveling to the distant past. and yet, it all works. Raimi doesn't care about historical accuracy but he does care about making the movie look good and sometimes that's enough. enjoy!

Very interesting subject matter, a broad spectrum of topics are covered..They also explain and dispell many of the myths our modern minds have on the period. I like the presentation, the rapport between Eleanor and Luke makes it fun to listen.

Lively and interesting discussion
