Ep 64Jojo Rabbit. Film Review: Green. Riley. Jackson.

E

Jojo Rabbit is a 2019 comedy-drama film written and directed by Taika Waititi, adapted from Christine Leunens's 2008 book Caging Skies. Roman Griffin Davis portrays the title character, Johannes "Jojo" Betzler, a ten-year-old Hitler Youth member who finds out that his mother (Scarlett Johansson) is hiding a Jewish girl (Thomasin McKenzie) in their attic. He must then question his beliefs while dealing with the intervention of his imaginary friend (Waititi), a fanciful version of Adolf Hitler with a comedic stance on the politics of the war. The film also stars Sam Rockwell, Rebel Wilson, Stephen Merchant and Alfie Allen.

The Windrush Generation includes anyone who immigrated to Britain from the Caribbean between 1948-1973.

Ep 63Stalin. Part 2 (The older)

This is part 2 of a 2 part episode. Stalin’s life was incredible!! good, bad and at many times ugly. From a poor kid to the leader of the USSR. During the quarter of a century preceding his death, the Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin probably exercised greater political power than any other figure in history. Stalin industrialised the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, forcibly collectivised its agriculture, consolidated his position by intensive police terror, helped to defeat Germany in 1941–45, and extended Soviet controls to include a belt of eastern European states.

Ep 50The Troubles: Ireland and the UK (Part One)

E

The Troubles, Ireland and the UK (Part One)Henry VIII - 1963Today’s guest is Paddy. We discuss his native land in this fascinating topic.I have been to Belfast in recent years: I also grew up watching from England the extraordinary news coverage in the 80s & 90s of the troubles in Northern Ireland. It was also portrayed via the British / English media as very one dimensional. This is the first time ever I get to talk to someone who was there and the history behind it.Belfast that I saw on TV back then is very different to the Belfast that I went to on a city break in the last few years.Or maybe it’s not and the British media got it wrong?Catholics and Protestant, unionists and republicans blend into a merge of really unsettled times that are now dubbed “the troubles”Still to this day the peace wall remains: currently it’s gates are open for people to freely pass through, however they have not been removed entirely just in case the peace treaty breaks down and they need to be closed once more for the safety of the Belfast citizens.I absolutely loved Belfast and I hope you all enjoy this episode.All work can be found here: https://linktr.ee/HEAPPTwitter @HistoryEAPPInstagram @historyemporiumpalspodcastPatreon: www.patreon.com/HEAPP Hosted on Acast.
