Is Lincoln (2012) one of the most underrated historical political dramas in film history, or a West Wing-esque hagiography of a US President? We got @jeevunsandher.bsky.social in to talk all things Abe, the 13th Amendment, war, political speeches and the cost of being in politics. Links below 👇

Hark! A podcast guest appearance! In which I get very excited about the big hams chewing the scenery in tight uniforms (gosh) in one of my favourite films ever - the inimitable Waterloo. We talk history, cinema and politics in what was an absolute blast to record. Enjoy!

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 The MoF team spoke to @so3brocktree.bsky.social about Waterloo (1970), and the absolutely colossal influence of Napoleon on Europe then and now. And of course, there was a culture war. Because there is always one. Keep reading for links 👇🤌

A fantastic podcast episode on one of the greatest films of all time by @ministryoffilmpod.bsky.social. Kurosawa's masterpiece spawned a thousand imitators, but has never been bested. I imagine it never will. Truly one of the pinnacles of the cinematic art form.

We have a new podcast out, and I cannot insist enough that all of you who focus on AI watch Metropolis asap In 1927, it looks at: - The nature of work - How said work can be dehumanising - How AI can be weaponised against humans - How tech + humans aren’t bad, but they need to connect, empathise

What we want to know is whether Lachlan’s name was inspired by John Lackland, who would become King John I (aka arguably the worst King of England and the reason why the Barons imposed the Magna Carta on him). Rupert, if you listen, let us know ✨🫶

Hello Bluesky! This is a great day to join and tell you to go listen to our first episode on Nosferatu. It’s about an evil guy who comes back from the dead and terrorises a whole region. Oh and the plague features too. You won’t need to have seen the film, don’t worry 🍿
