The Empire Never Ended

Boris finishes off TENE's study of The Order with Bob Matthews and company and their most infamous crimes. Their moment in the sun was a short one, however, as typical betrayal and incompetence led to Bob's fiery death and spelled the end to the Silent Brotherhood. Subscribe to patreon.org/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod.

TENE watches two pretty weird films about or inspired by the Order, Bob Matthews' white nationalist group of the early '80s: Brotherhood of Murder (1998) and Costa-Gavras' lesser-known film, Betrayed (1988). Each film royally fucks up in its own special way, creating some very strange representations of the 'Silent Brotherhood'. Subscribe at patreon.com/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod!

TENE finally dives headfirst into the Order, the most successful white nationalist terrorist group of the 1980s lionized by neo-Nazis today. Boris looks at founder Robert Matthews' early life and the development of his "Silent Brotherhood", with all the weirdness and stupidity one might expect from people who use the Turner Diaries as a life plan.

TENE dusts off the Fash-Files and looks into two mysterious close encounters of the third kind. Fritz offers a fresh look at the famous stories of the Kelly-Hopkinsville Encounter of 1955 and the Lovette-Cunningham Incident at White Sands, New Mexico in '56. He examines the social and political environment in which these stories were popularized and argues that understanding Christian Identity suggests hypotheses usually overlooked in most tellings.

TENE watches the "White Supremacy" episode of the NatGeo docu-series, Trafficked, and discovers that it's basically a Neo-Nazi promotional film. When the documentary is not presenting Neo-Nazis in their own idealized self-image, it's promoting private intelligence agencies and hinting at Russian meddling. This is how NOT to cover neo-Nazis.

TENE concludes Francis Parker Yockey's weird life and work with Fritz's final book report on Imperium. Featuring Francis' hot bad takes on American, Russian, and Japanese culture and history, his insane fantasies about America's activity in post-war Germany, and some unsurprisingly wrong predictions about our geopolitical present.

TENE finishes the ridiculous life of Francis Parker Yockey with his equally ridiculous demise in San Francisco County Jail. Rey continues his look at Yockey's vast connections in the Nazi network of post-war Europe and America. More interesting, however, is Yockey's developing adoration of Stalin and the Soviet Union, which made him some very strange bedfellows. Subscribe at patreon.com/tenepod and twitter.com/tenepod

Fritz introduces Francis Parker Yockey's magnum opus, Imperium, to the TENE library, which turns out to be way worse than any of the guys imagined. Get to know Yockey's theory of history and society and stand in awe at his terrible handle on modernism, ancient history, and European culture. Despite being among the most important fascist books of the post-war period, Imperium, as it turns out, is dumb as hell. Subscribe to our Patreon for weekly premium episodes and our Twitter!

In this second installment of Francis Parker Yockey's life and career, Rey narrates Francis' adventures in Europe as well as his powerful connections in the United States. Yockey's quest for recognition in the fascist scene nets him a few unusual roommates as well as a long list of lovers as he bounces from rejection to rejection. Between his pouting and self-pity, Francis somehow manages to make a name for himself with supporters in Canada, Germany, Italy, the UK, the US, and beyond. Even stranger, Rey also describes Yockey's brief legal career as a clemency reviewer for Nazi war criminals in Germany. Subscribe to our Patreon for weekly premium episodes and our Twitter!

Boris, Fritz, and Rey get word of a bizarre series of podcasts featuring a debate between Balkan Muslims and TENE's favorite Montenegrin Orthodox Priest, Nikola Poleksić. Nikola's interlopers seem unaware that Nikola is also an External Adept of the O9A 'nexion' the Astral Bone Gnawer's Lodge, with predictably absurd results.

The TENE fellas get good and smashed at the Death Valley compound to celebrate the new year, and basically, this is what happened. That's probably about as good a description as can be made about this one...

In episode 78, TENE goes through the early days of Francis Parker Yockey, an unusual American fascist. In the late 1930s, Yockey was a young (and very pretentious) intellectual deeply involved in the Fascist movement in the US and connected to every significant group of the time: German-American Bund, Silver Shirts, Father Coughlin's NUSJ, America First Committee, etc. What made him different from his peers in the US was that he was at the time already influenced by more obscure fascist writers of the so-called Conservative Revolutionary milieu in Germany like Oswald Spengler, Karl Haushofer, and Carl Schmitt. It seems that Yockey had deeper connections to the Third Reich as well that involved Nazi Intelligence and the secret Operation Pastorious. Yockey inexplicably went missing for a while during the war, but even more interesting was his post-war career gig in Nuremberg, Germany.

The Empire Never Ended takes an awful detour through the history and catalog of Resistance Records, North America's version of Rock Against Communism that made most of National Alliance's income. The guys talk RaHoWa, Bound For Glory, New Minority, and other progressively worse bands. Also, a bunch of awful clips and Fritz attempts to write a Resistance Records song and somehow overshoots...

Unlocked! Movie night at the TENE compound! In this spiritual sequel to their episode on Yugoslav partisan films, the Empire Never Ended visits Hollywood depictions of Yugoslavia in World War II. The crew watches wartime propaganda flick Chetniks! The Fighting Guerillas (1943), genre-setting Corman B-film The Secret Invasion (1963), boomer dad favorite Force 10 from Navarone (1978), and made for TV movie Dirty Dozen: Fatal Mission (1988). They discuss the extreme swings in Hollywood's attitude toward Chetniks over time, the development of the Dirty Dozen model now followed by The Suicide Squad, Hollywood's shaky handle on history, the trope of the stoic Partizan woman, and the multiple interpretations these films offer their audience.

In another theological episode, Fritz gives his first and last Cosmotheistic sermon, explaining the surprisingly vacant texts of William Luther Pierce's half-assed 'religion' for his National Alliance. TENE's exhaustive concordance on the three original holy texts of Cosmotheism, The Path, On Living Things, and On Society as well as Pierce's most important recorded sermon, Cosmotheism: The Wave of the Future leaves the crew unsatisfied. Apparently, it's a huge waste of time and makes very little sense. Also, the post-Pierce 'Awakened Ones' carrying the torch, and an unexpected visit to Israel where TENE learns the unlikely origins of Cosmotheism!

The Empire Never Ended concludes their biographical study of William Luther Pierce and goes deep into the multi-decade development and collapse of his National Alliance. Fritz talks about the impact of the Turner Diaries, introduces Pierce's pet religion "Cosmotheism", and gives some idea of the National Alliance's international reach. The guys also discuss Resistance Records, the absurd Vanguard News Network, and get some background information on the Order and the Oklahoma City bombing.

In the second meeting of TENE's Fash Fic Book Club, Fritz reads William Luther Pierce, III's infamous book, the Turner Diaries. The story, which originally began to appear as installments in National Alliance's nazi rag, Attack! in 1975, is framed as a serious of unbelievably dry diary entires by "known racist" named Earl Turner, as he battles The System in the early 90s. It's a shitty bad book, but that's the job... Fritz takes Boris and Rey down a bloody and nonsensical path through The Organization's early days as a scrappy guerilla band of nazis to eventually nuking the planet many, many times with an attack on an FBI building that inspired the Oklahoma City Bombing, an assault on California, and the incel revenge fantasy called "the Day of the Rope" along the way.

TENE finally meets William Luther Pierce, III, founder of the National Alliance (NA), author of the Turner Diaries, and basically Neo-Nazi Dr. Evil. Fritz narrates Bill's life from his childhood as a little white supremacist, through his illustrious physics career, to his somewhat less-impressive beginnings as one of America's worst Nazis. The boys hear how Pierce climbed the ladder from the ANP/NSWPP shit show to head his own college-based fascist group, the National Youth Alliance started by Willis Carto which would eventually grow into the NA. Also, when Rockwell's train nearly came in, a brutal egg-ssassination, and plenty of stink bombs.

Rey concludes his tour of duty with the American Nazi Party by telling the story of its final Fuhrer, Matthias Koehl, and his take on Esoteric Hitlerism in New Order. The crew briefly examines the life and thought of Koehl's greatest influences, Savitri Devi, who said that Hitler was an avatar of Vishnu, and Miguel Serrano, who mixed and matched esoteric 'traditions' until landing on a Hitler-Jesus named "Manu". Rey walks Fritz and Boris through Matt Koehl's rise to ANP glory from James Madole's National Renaissance Party in New York to the States Rights Party in the South until he finally becomes George Lincoln Rockwell's successor (and Brutus to his Caesar) when Koehl takes the American Nazis in a bizarre spiritual direction.

Rey wraps up the darkly funny life of George Lincoln Rockwell and examines his lasting influence on neo-Naziism in the U.S. and abroad. The boys learn about Rockwell's surprisingly international World Union of National Socialists (WUNS) and the political intrigue they wrought on themselves, the controversy surrounding the creation of the well-known slogan, "White Power", and the American Nazi Party's relationship to Christian Identity. Finally, Rey looks at the various explanations for Rockwell's violent death at the hand of a Stormtrooper and the possible Machiavellian machinations of William Luther Pierce and Matt Koehl. Also, French Nazi nobility and that Canadian Hitler look!

Rey gets Boris and Fritz to watch four... documentaries?... about the American Nazi Party approved by none other than the National Socialist Order, three of which are directed and narrated by somehow-still-living joke, James Mason. Jimbo's fawning take on George Lincoln Rockwell's disastrous gubernatorial campaign and his unintentionally hilarious supercut of "lost footage" are bad enough, yet pale next to his epic film-length slide show of Rockwell's life and career. Alongside this powerful collective opus of editorial prowess is a professionally made propaganda piece that feels like some Neo-Nazi version of The Office. Also, Rey introduces Rick Cooper to our collection of Nazi weirdos along with his very special tastes.

Rey finally introduces the infamous and pathetic George Lincoln Rockwell and his American Nazi Party to the TENE pod roster of tragicomic fascist freaks. Son of a sociopathic Vaudevillian and clearly nostalgic for some 1930s-style LARPing, "Commander" Rockwell founds one of the most important and comically underappreciated neo-Nazi groups of the '60s that gave us such figures at Matt Koehl, Daniel Burros, and William Luther Pierce.

Boris updates The Empire Never Ended on our pals in Montenegro followed by a dive into the strange world of uncanonical, unrecognized Orthodox churches.

[UNLOCKED - Part one of the British Israelism / Christian Identity (ep 55) / Aryan Nations (ep 57) trilogy] Despite what its name might suggest, Rey introduces the British Israelite movement to TENE's arc on Americanist fascism and adds a whole new roster of fashy freaks to their collection. 'British Israelism' is the claim that the British - and eventually Europeans and 'Whites' - are the truest and noblest tribe of Israel. And where does that leave the Jews? Well, that depends on who you ask, but it ain't great. Meet Richard Brothers, a founding ideologue of the movement whose teachings on the lost tribes of Israel will lead to Edward Hine's British-only approach which mysteriously floundered in America. Check-in on Pastor Wild British Identity's American son and 'Professor' Charles Totten as they kick off the US interpretation of the movement which is, of course, really really racist. Rey inducts pastor, KKK member, and First Lady of the Invisible Empire Reuben Sawyer to TENE's card deck which wouldn't be complete without Henry Ford's bff and guy who reads the bible "racially", degenerate drunk Bill Cameron. Also in this episode, founder of Pentecostalism Charles Parham, Pyramidism and its very special inch, and an unexpected link in this arc to the Tempel ov Blood. Phew!

After failing to accept TENE's challenge to a rap battle, Fritz decides to be neighborly and meet David Myatt, founder of the Order of Nine Angles, on his own turf: faux-academic nonsense otherwise known as the 'Hebdomian Way'. Myatt is claiming that this 'philosophy' has replaced the O9A and represents a departure from his "extremist past"... Fritz disagrees. In fact, his Hebdomian Way is merely a rebranding of his old Nazi Satanist turd collection and Fritz explains how even by Myatt's own criteria, it can in no way be called a "philosophy". Enraged by this beat down, the numinous one himself appears at TENE's Death Valley compound with a surprise.

TENE interviews Bill Campbell, author of The Day the Klan Came to Town, a graphic novel fictionalizing an actual historical battle that took place between the Ku Klux Klan and a multi-ethnic neighborhood of Carnegie, Pennsylvania in 1923 through the eyes of an Italian immigrant mine worker. Bill discusses the creation of his characters, the historicity of the battle, and the research that went into bringing numerous cultures to life. They discuss the anti-Black racism at the heart of "Americanism", a little-known 19th-century conflict in Chicago, and critically address the idea of America as a 'nation of immigrants. Also: polka.

Fritz tells the tragicomic tale of Daniel Burros, the Jewish neo-nazi who was the inspiration for the 2001 film, The Believer. Dan's story is a bizarre cross-section of neo-nazi life in the first half of the 1960s. Follow Dan's stranger-than-fiction path from ludicrous street demos with the American Nazi Party, to armed plots with the National Renaissance Party, on to his final gig as Grand Dragon of the New York KKK.

Boris finishes his two-part study of the John Birch Society. He looks at their organizational structures, "reading rooms", and media game as well as their ludicrous ideology. Reaching 100,000 members in the mid-'60s, the JBS survives well into the common day despite the disappearance of the Soviet Union. Boris also brings Revilo P. Oliver back into the mix, as well as the JBS' current cast of characters and their terrible but predictable take on the Chilean uprising of 2019.

The TENE crüe watches Birth of a Nation, the incredibly racist propaganda film of 1915 that created the Prohibition-Era Ku Klux Klan that we all know and hate.

Take a walk down Repressed Memory Lane with Boris as he introduces Americanism's own sugar daddy, Robert Welch, founder of the John Birch Society which brought us classic hits like the "War on Christmas", "America is a Republic, not a Democracy", "The Hawaiian Comintern", and of course, "Everyone is a Communist". What happens when a bunch of rich paranoid racists, Fred Koch included, get together at a conference? The most successful Americanist organization in its fashy little history. Also, the return of Revilo "Palindrome" Oliver and the original 'school choice' argument (spoiler: it's pretty racist)! This is part one of a two-part tale.

Game night at The Empire Never Ended! Founder of the Order of Nine Angles, David Myatt, takes on the TENE team in their own Twitter DMs with absurd results. Boris, Fritz, and Rey deconstruct the flurry of nonsense that Myatt's communiques have become since the revelation that the Tempel ov Blood was subsidized by the FBI. They also check in with Chloe Ortega, the straight talking lunatic of the White Star Acception O9A nexion and her own vindicating revelations about Myatt and the "Old Guard". Finally, the crew takes on Myatt's ridiculous claim that the O9A is merely a "philosophy".

Rey goes all 'Oliver Stone' on the TENE crew with the Minutemen, America's own little 'Stay-Behind Unit' of feds and fash. Beginning in 1960, millionaire Robert DePugh - fashy loner pedo - founds the loose conglomeration of anti-communist militias called "The Minutemen", beholden only to an imaginary inner council. With an absurd level of state-sponsored impunity, DePugh commits crime after insane crime only for the authorities to look the other way time and again. Included in his inner circle are Robert N. Taylor, Odinist right-wing "libertarian" thought-leader and god-awful folk singer, as well as three stars of the 1991 film, JFK: Clay Shaw, the shifty New Orleans businessman, David Ferrie, lunatic pilot and alleged associate of Lee Harvey Oswald, and Guy Bannister, FBI employee and Minutemen coordinator.

Game night at the Empire Never Ended! Boris, Fritz, and Rey are joined by some friends as they dive deep into the bewildering mess that is Nazi-made video games. In this experimental episode, Fritz hobbles through the barely-playable Zog's Nightmare 2 made by Aryan Nations-based company Resistance Records for the National Socialist Movement in 2007. He caps this off with a short tour of its fan-made sequel made for Combat 18. Fritz introduces other horrible games from the company and shows off his questionable collection of KKK versions of Mario Bros 1 and 2 and a pitiful Nazi re-texture of Wolfenstein 3D and.

TENE goes on a field trip to Idaho where they visit the Church of Christ Christian and their militant political wing, the Aryan Nations lead by Richard Girnt Butler, a man who slurs his slurs. Carrying the Christian Identity tradition from the 1970s to the 2000s, Butler created an armed compound in Hayden Lake, Idaho where he developed a complex heraldry and continued the racist theology of his dumb religion. Connected to terrorist groups like the Order and establishing the Aryan World Congress, Butler became a key man in the American White nationalist scene and beyond.

Ever wish the Bible had more space aliens and insane racism in it? Well, Fritz has the religion for you! TENE takes Christian Identity head-on from their split with the British Israelite movement through super racist ancient aliens to some of the earliest participants in the American militia movement. Christian Identity fuses apocalyptic militarism with the belief that Jewish people are literal genetic descendants of Satan. Swift and Gale were key figures in Southern California's bustling white supremacist scene from the end of World War II and, as you might expect, total freaks.

Following last week's Tempel ov Blood update, Boris recounts some of the latest news on the Order of Nine Angles. He examines the O9A and ToB connection with multiple murders in the UK and Russia before checking in with the ongoing 'insight role' in the Montenegrian Orthodox Church by the Astral bone Gnawers Lodge. The crew discusses the latest riots in Montenegro and speculates about the lack of reaction from the MOC to their Niner problem.

Tying off the gushing wound that is interwar American fascism, Fritz invites Boris and Rey down the twisted path of America First. TENE examines two early organized incarnations of this sentiment and gives a broad view of Americanist incubator that twice encouraged Nazis, capitalists, and politicians to join together under a common banner of isolationism, free markets, and anti-Semitism. Fritz explains the career of a bony racist geezer named James True, the "First Firster" whose America First, Inc. mixed anti-labor propaganda with openly Nazi sentiments as he sold custom-made truncheons for the coming pogrom. The main feature, the America First Committee, picks up the torch and turns America First into an 800k-strong movement of capitalists, cultural elites, Nazis, and general isolationists with American hero Charles Lindberg as their face. TENE takes a look at the bumbling FBI and the efforts of British Intelligence to keep American fascism at bay despite J. Edgar Hoover's best efforts. Also featuring: George Deatherage, military contract engineer and the ultimate KKK LARPer, George Sylvester Viereck and his scheme to turn the US Congressional Record into a Nazi printing press, and why Hermann Göring smelled like lion piss!

TENE analyzes the recent exposure of the FBI's role in bankrolling the 'Tempel ov Blood', Joshua Caleb Sutter's American nexion of the Order of Nine Angles. Rey briefly reviews Sutter's history as a 'Phineas Priest' of the Aryan Nations, his insight roles in the DPRK-obsessed Songun Study Group and his ersatz Kali-worshipping sect, and the founding of the ToB, his Nazi vampire order. They discuss the courtroom drama that brought Sutter's relationship with the FBI to light. The boys speculate about the FBI's interest in Sutter, and Rey shares some commentary on this revelation from Atomwaffen/NSO and the O9A. Cold-open song: "Down Days" (David Renda / Fesliyan Studios).

Despite what its name might suggest, Rey introduces the British Israelite movement to TENE's arc on Americanist fascism and adds a whole new roster of fashy freaks to their collection. 'British Israelism' is the claim that the British - and eventually Europeans and 'Whites' - are the truest and noblest tribe of Israel. And where does that leave the Jews? Well, that depends on who you ask, but it ain't great. Meet Richard Brothers, a founding ideologue of the movement whose teachings on the lost tribes of Israel will lead to Edward Hine's British-only approach which mysteriously floundered in America. Check-in on Pastor Wild British Identity's American son and 'Professor' Charles Totten as they kick off the US interpretation of the movement which is, of course, really really racist. Rey inducts pastor, KKK member, and First Lady of the Invisible Empire Reuben Sawyer to TENE's card deck which wouldn't be complete without Henry Ford's bff and guy who reads the bible "racially", degenerate drunk Bill Cameron. Also in this episode, founder of Pentecostalism Charles Parham, Pyramidism and its very special inch, and an unexpected link in this arc to the Tempel ov Blood. Phew!

This is a story about interwar America and a mass Nazi movement called the Silver Shirts centered around a man who claimed to speak to long-dead celebrities, including the surprisingly anti-Semitic ghosts of Ben Franklin and Jesus Christ. Follow William Dudley Pelley, toilet paper heir, Hollywood screenwriter, award-winning author, dedicated hustler, and American Nazi militia leader as "mentors" from the 4th dimension guide him and his thousands of followers into a genocidal political platform and a 'prophesied' presidential run. TENE examines Pelley's career hucksterism from the 1920s to his 'unexpected' death in '65. Join them as they marvel at his infantile attempts to court Native American followers and at the lasting effect his buffoonery had on the American fascist movement.

Boris introduces The Empire Never Ended to a very special Bavarian boy named Fritz Kuhn who, through summer camps, mass rallies, and marching (so much marching) throughout the '30s, tried to reconcile racial Americanism and German Nazism through his German-American Bund. Though his career was brief, Kuhn amassed tens of thousands of followers and inspired much of the symbolism and look of future groups. He also embodied the very model of the US Nazi huckster as he embezzled funds to supply his vast array of mistresses. Hitler may have hated him, but the legacy of 'zee Bund' lives on.

Remember that time when a third of the U.S. listened to the weekly podcasts of a fascist radio priest? No? Well, neither did Fritz, who guides Boris and Rey through the tangled tale of Father Charles Coughlin, the confusingly named 'National Union for Social Justice', and his would-be terrorist militia, the Christian Front. Despite leading one of the largest American fascist movements in America, being the only Catholic priest to run for president, and becoming the first right-wing mass-media personality, most Americans have never heard of him. Join TENE in this story of an anti-Semitic chisler and darling of the Nazis to whom Bill O'Reilly owes his whole terrible 'thing'. Also: the return of Ford and his cronies, a half-dead bishop, 'Bundsters', and rabid anti-Semite and daughter-lobotomized, Joseph P. Kennedy! A lot of sources went into this, but Fritz highly recommends Donald Warren's book Radio Priest.

Trailer for their second episode of Arc 3, where Boris takes TENE on a tour of an underappreciated part of American history - the Italian-American Fascists of the interwar period. They look at the largely forgotten story of Mussolini's supporters in the US as well as the brutal uphill struggle against them. Boris describes spectacular street battles and assassinations that seem more cinematic than real as Rey and Fritz get to know their fascinating participants. Meet early fascist Joseph Di Silvestro, leader of 300,000-strong Sons of Italy organization in America which he (tried to) pledged to Mussolini. Learn about Edmondo Rossoni, the IWW organizer who helped invent fascist corporatism in Italy. Gawk at the befeathered WASP "Khaki Shirt" supporters of fascist Italy and swoon for charming celebrity anarchist, Carlo Tresca. And don't forget the hapless failson of Gabriele D'Annunzio, Hugo! Also: Mussolini and the American media, brick fights at the opera, how the invasion of Ethiopia affected Harlem, and the boys accidentally join the Fascist League of North America.

In their first episode of this third arc, Fritz introduces daddy of America and total Nazi prick, Henry Ford, to TENE's rogues' gallery. They take a look at Fordism as basically Taylorism on amphetamines plus with a private army of spies and thugs to keep labor in line. Fritz describes Henry Ford's bizarre schemes to Americanize his immigrant labor force as well as a little colony in Brazil called Fordlandia. But that's not all! The crew then looks at Ford's rabid anti-Semitism and adoration - even financial and industrial support - of the Nazi war machine as well as Hitler's crush on Henry. Of course, Fritz opens up Ford's infamous two-year Anti-Semitic rant, The International Jew, and Rey elucidates its surprising links to the Christian Identity movement. No episode would be complete without a glance at Ford's cronies, however, so TENE introduces homicidal Harry Bennet and his Henchmendersons, Christian Identity progenitor Bill Cameron, spymaster Ernest Liebold, and Nazi envoy Kurt Lüdecke to their roster of assholes. sound effects from freesound.org bossa nova song from the always fun fesliyanstudios.com This is The Empire Never Ended, the Antifascist Amerikanski-Balkan podcast about (neo) fascist terror, the (deep) state and the alienation, nihilism and desperation produced by the capitalist system.

Jumping forward a bit in time to the post-war Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY), Boris takes The Empire Never Ended on a quick tour of Partisan Cinema and its historical context. Boris, Fritz, and Rey discuss some of the genre's most iconic films: Slavica (1947), Kozara (1962), Battle of Neretva (1969), Battle of Sutjeska (1973), and the epic Nazi-slaughter romp, Walter Defends Sarajevo (1972). Boris and Rey discuss Tito's cinephelia and his uncommon celebrity, while Fritz describes his favorite scenes and struggles to say "Sutjeska". Also, the uncanny similarities between Battle of Neretva and the Empire Strikes Back, the central role of music in Partisan films, the failure of Chetnik media, and a shitton of terrified horses.

Movie night at the TENE compound! In this spiritual sequel to their episode on Yugoslav partisan films, the Empire Never Ended visits Hollywood depictions of Yugoslavia in World War II. The crew watches wartime propaganda flick Chetniks! The Fighting Guerillas (1943), genre-setting Corman B-film The Secret Invasion (1963), boomer dad favorite Force 10 from Navarone (1978), and made for TV movie Dirty Dozen: Fatal Mission (1988). They discuss the extreme swings in Hollywood's attitude toward Chetniks over time, the development of the Dirty Dozen model now followed by The Suicide Squad, Hollywood's shaky handle on history, the trope of the stoic Partizan woman, and the multiple interpretations these films offer their audience. Also: Obama's big day and Krist Novoselic for some reason...
