Welcome back to beyond the big screen now. Today we are talking about comic book movies and Superhero based movies and uh, one time in their earlier days they were a side show in the movie business now where they are the bread and butter, a cash cow for the entire entertainment industry beginning in the two thousands, a whole host of movies I've been released based on popular superheroes and comic book characters, and they've really achieved an incredible box office success as well as critical acclaim as well. Today we are very happy to be joined by Mr Roy field brown to discuss the genre superhero comic books. Thank you so much for joining us today, Roy. Fielding. Well listen, thank you for having me on. I thought may one beam into such low brow art, so to speak, that you know you wouldn't deign to have me on. Not at all. This is. This is serious stuff here now. Roy Field is a pod cast renaissance man. He is a host and producer of countless podcasts, including but not limited to 10 US presidents. How'd you make a conquered the world? Friday 15, mid Atlantic and more Roy Fields, a genuine international man of mystery and a proud self proclaimed comic book nerd. Is that an accurate statement? I'd say I'm a connoisseur of the genre of, into comics, uh, from a ridiculously early age, um, being, being British in the 19 seventies you're exposed to a UK comics, which invariably with Bernie or war comics, but they came out weekly. That's a big difference between UK comics and American to ask at weekly. But at the early seventies, marvel started reprinting. It's American out on a weekly basis in the UK. So there's a whole slew of men in their thirties and late forties. Now you kinda grew up reading marble reprint DC didn't do that. So you'll find that in somewhere like the u in the UK is everyone's aware of these superman and Batman are, but a man of a certain age have this really close affinity to the marvel heroes. And I definitely do. Can you maybe tell us a little bit more? Those are the major, really. The two big players, the marvel characters in the DC characters. From my understanding, the DC characters are more developed a lot, much longer ago. Can you maybe just explain a little bit where these two universities come from? He sees DC as you rightly point out, is older than marvel. Those actually not that much older is that marvel had a name change, so the grandfather of the whole superhero genre is superman is the first superhero and which we would, you know, call it today, the word, other kinds of heroes like flash Gordon beforehand who was in comics and then also obviously 19 thirties movies and people...

Description: For a time in late 2019, early 2020 impeachment was all the talk about social media and town. As of a bit later in 2020, impeachment has taken a back seat due to other events, but the impeachment of a President of the United States is never a small thing. This was especially so in the early 1970’s during the Watergate controversy involving President Richard Nixon. Our guest today, Donald Stinson had a front row seat to all of these events as a teenage employee at the White House. Let’s hear about Don’s unique experiences and view point. Don will help us see if Hollywood Hates History with two films, Frost Nixon and Nixon.   You can learn more about Beyond the Big Screen and subscribe at all these great places: http://atozhistorypage.com/ email: steve@atozhistorypage.com http://rss.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen Agora: www.agorapodcastnetwork.com https://www.patreon.com/papacy   On Social Media: The New A to Z History Page Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/atozhistorypage https://www.facebook.com/Beyondthebigscreen/ https://twitter.com/BigScreenBeyond   Learn More About our Guest: Donald Stinson https://www.amazon.com/Donald-M.-Stinson/e/B07746JZ3V%3Fref=dbs_a_mng_rwt_scns_share   Music Provided by: "Crossing the Chasm" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Title: HHH Quo Vadis with the Partial Historians   Description: Drs and Radford and Greenfield of the Partial Historians podcast love movies.

Title: Hollywood Hates History: The Alamo 1994   Description:  Today, I mount a brave defense of a lone outpost of the movie podcast internet. I will make my stand to defend the Alamo from 2004. The battle of the Alamo was one of the most iconic battles in American and possibly world history.

Hollywood Hates History: Conqueror (1956)   Description:  The next few movies Scott and I will talk about have at least one common theme, they all involve John Wayne in one way or another. John Wayne either really loved history or truly hated it and wanted to punish it. Whatever John Wayne felt, he had a talent for turning any era of history into a great Western. Today Scott and I (and of course you) have to decide whether John Wayne respected the tradition of Genghis Khan or if he shot it full of flaming fire arrows. Today, Scott is going to defend the 1956 classic: The Conqueror starring John Wayne.     You can learn more about Beyond the Big Screen and subscribe at all these great places: http://atozhistorypage.com/ email: steve@atozhistorypage.com http://rss.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen Agora: www.agorapodcastnetwork.com https://www.patreon.com/papacy   Check us out on Himalaya! https://www.himalaya.com/en/show/189396   On Social Media: The New A to Z History Page Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/atozhistorypage https://www.facebook.com/Beyondthebigscreen/ https://twitter.com/BigScreenBeyond   Learn More About our Guest: Scott Rank of The History Unplugged Podcast https://www.historyonthenet.com Participate in the Agora Podcast Network “Getting to Know You” survey: https://tinyurl.com/AgoraPoll2019 Music Provided by: "Crossing the Chasm" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Title: Hollywood Hates History: The Scarlet Letter (1995) Description:  Every so often, Hollywood gets a movie based on a historical event and piece of literature absolutely perfect. The producers really get the tone and big ideas of a novel and the historical events the novel depicted. It is a tough job. I wish we had a movie like that today, but we 100 percent don’t. The Scarlet Letter from 1995 stars Demi Moore and Gary Oldman and tries to bring the seminal American novel “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne to the silver screen. Let’s see if Hollywood Hates History today.   You can learn more about Beyond the Big Screen and subscribe at all these great places: http://atozhistorypage.com/ email: steve@atozhistorypage.com http://rss.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen Agora: www.agorapodcastnetwork.com https://www.patreon.com/papacy   Check us out on Himalaya! https://www.himalaya.com/en/show/189396   On Social Media: The New A to Z History Page Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/atozhistorypage https://www.facebook.com/Beyondthebigscreen/ https://twitter.com/BigScreenBeyond   Learn More About our Guest: Scott Rank of The History Unplugged Podcast https://www.historyonthenet.com Music Provided by: "Crossing the Chasm" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Title: Hollywood Hates History: Dracula Untold   Description: Today we have a surprising episode of Hollywood Hates History. Scott Rank decided to defend Dracula Untold from 2014. I thought this would be a slam dunk to go up against. I was wrong. There is quite a bit of history in this movie. The film makers got things right in this movie that one would never think they would get right. Listen to find out if Dracula Untold is a great piece of historical fiction or just another vampire movie waiting for the stake!   You can learn more about Beyond the Big Screen and subscribe at all these great places: http://atozhistorypage.com/ email: steve@atozhistorypage.com http://rss.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen Agora: www.agorapodcastnetwork.com https://www.patreon.com/papacy   Check us out on Himalaya! https://www.himalaya.com/en/show/189396   On Social Media: The New A to Z History Page Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/atozhistorypage https://www.facebook.com/Beyondthebigscreen/ https://twitter.com/BigScreenBeyond   Learn More About our Guest: Scott Rank of The History Unplugged Podcast https://www.historyonthenet.com Music Provided by: "Crossing the Chasm" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Title: Hollywood Hate History: The Da Vinci Code   Description: Today we have a real treat for Hollywood Hates History. I’ll tell you, Hollywood seriously hated history on this one, the 2006 spectacle, The Da Vinci Code. I actually had to defend this movie and it was not easy. I tried my best mount the best defense possible because this movie sliced and diced history so badly. The Da Vinci Code might have been a movie you had to watch on a long flight during the middle of the first decade of the 2000’s, but if you listen to this episode you’ll also get to learn some great actual history.   You can learn more about Beyond the Big Screen and subscribe at all these great places: http://atozhistorypage.com/ email: steve@atozhistorypage.com http://rss.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen Agora: www.agorapodcastnetwork.com https://www.patreon.com/papacy   On Social Media: The New A to Z History Page Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/atozhistorypage https://www.facebook.com/Beyondthebigscreen/ https://twitter.com/BigScreenBeyond   Learn More About our Guest: Scott Rank of The History Unplugged Podcast https://www.historyonthenet.com Agora (2009) With The History of the Copts https://aca.st/d43266   Music Provided by: "Crossing the Chasm" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Title: History Hates Hollywood: Agora (2009) Description: For the next few weeks and months, I will have a series I did in collaboration with Scott Rank of the History Unplugged Podcast. We are calling this series History Hates Hollywood. In this series, we take some of the history based movies we love and we hate the most and put them on trial. We talk about a wide range of movies from different historical periods. Our first History Hates Hollywood is where we left of on our last Beyond the Big Screen: 2009 movie Agora. Agora from 2009 is about the situation with Hypatia of Alexandria and the Christians. If you want to hear a very detailed background and discussion of the movie, you can relisten to the episode I did with Jonathan of the history of the Copts podcast. I held back my opinions of the movie as best as I could. In this episode with Scott Rank, I’ll let you know what I really think about the movie!   You can learn more about Beyond the Big Screen and subscribe at all these great places: http://atozhistorypage.com/ email: steve@atozhistorypage.com http://rss.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen Agora: www.agorapodcastnetwork.com https://www.patreon.com/papacy On Social Media: The New A to Z History Page Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/atozhistorypage https://www.facebook.com/Beyondthebigscreen/ https://twitter.com/BigScreenBeyond Learn More About our Guest: Scott Rank of The History Unplugged Podcast https://www.historyonthenet.com Agora (2009) With The History of the Copts https://aca.st/d43266 Music Provided by: "Crossing the Chasm" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/beyondthebigscreen.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
