It's time to celebrate episode 100! To do so, we are tackling one of Hollywood's most famous (maybe infamous?) historical blockbusters--Braveheart. The film turns 30 this month (May 2025) and the sisters spark up and sit down in the Smoke Circle with Dr. Darren R. Reid, associate professor of history at Coventry University. Dr. Reid is himself Scottish so the subject matter is near and dear to his heart.
Join us in the Smoke Circle as we dismantle the movie scene by scene, learning the REAL history as we go along, picking our favorite moments and the characters that we loved to cheer for (and the ones we loved to hate)
ALSO! DON'T MISS IT! From now until Friday, May 16th, we have our movie watch along to both Braveheart and Outlaw King on our Patreon open to the public so everyone can watch along with us and really get into the spirit with us. But it's only up through May 16th!!
