Reviewing History
Hosted by Reviewing History
Three friends in a New Jersey studio break down the historical accuracy of popular films and share bizarre historical anecdotes.
This is a co-hosted hang-out show where film analysis meets casual history lessons. One host typically presents a researched topic—either a movie review or a historical oddity—which serves as a launchpad for free-flowing comedic banter, personal stories, and tangents among the group. It balances genuine cinematic critique with the raucous energy of friends trying to make each other laugh.
“The show's unique flavor comes from its setting within the established TESD podcast community and its blend of high- and low-brow topics. One episode might feature a detailed breakdown of a film's aspect ratio, while the next is a deeply researched history of professional farters.”
