When we think of Ireland's past, we usually envisage an island shaped by two languages: Irish and English. But hidden in the history of South Wexford is Yola, a unique dialect that survived for centuries after the Norman invasion, only to vanish almost without a trace.In this episode, I am joined by Sascha Sanchi Cooney to explore the fascinating story of Yola: where it came from, who spoke it, what it sounded like, and why it disappeared. From medieval settlers to the Great Vowel Shift and the impact of Cromwell, the history of this dialect is intriguing.Get a copy of Sasha's 2019 book The Forth & Bargy Dialect at your local library https://waterford.spydus.ie/cgi-bin/spydus.exe/FULL/WPAC/BIBENQ/458376473/1314333,1Follow Sasha's work on Linkedin https://ie.linkedin.com/in/sascha-santschi-cooney-76a885188Sound by Kate Dunlea.

Irgendwie sind wohl Ostwochen im Studio B. In meiner letzten Rezension in diesem Newsletter, es ging um das hervorragenden "Gittersee" von Charlotte Gneuß, war ich voll des Lobes ob der präzis wiedergegebenen Sprache, die man hierzulande sprach, bis wir alle "unter der Woche" und "zwischen den Jahren" zu sagen lernten, um unseren neuen Overlords zu gefallen und unsere Chance auf eine D-Mark-Lohnerhöhung zu erhöhen. Irmgard Lumpini fing kurze Zeit später an (ostalgieinfiziert?) "Das Narrenschiff" zu lesen, das jüngste Buch von Christoph Hein, und berichtete seltsame Dinge: Die Sprache sei "DDR-Sprech", spoilerte die Kollegin. Nun, Heins Sprache war nie ausschweifend oder gar romantisch, das gaben seine Helden nicht her, aber als ausgesprochen "ostdeutsch" geschrieben empfand ich seine Werke nie. Was also war passiert? Ja, Christoph Hein, Jahrgang 44, ist ein "ostdeutscher" Schriftsteller, ein "DDR-Kenner" gar, sagt der Klappentext, wobei man sich fragt, ob denn dann jeder westdeutsche Schriftsteller ein "BRD-Kenner" sei. Egal, ich wurde seltsamerweise Fan und zwar mit seinem Erstling "Der fremde Freund" und das im zarten Teenageralter von 12 Jahren, obwohl ich doch damals literarisch zwischen Andromeda und Kassiopeia lebte. Ein paar Jahrzehnte später, genauer: mehr als vier, war ich wieder interessiert, war doch das neueste Buch von Hein erschienen, und dessen Sujet, die Zeit um den Mauerbau herum, aus der Sicht eines Abiturienten irgendwie faszinierend, wenn auch literarisch eher so lala, ich berichtete. Ging es in “Unterm Staub der Zeit” noch um einen recht kleinen Zeitraum in der Geschichte der DDR, sollte es in "Das Narrenschiff" um des ostdeutschen Staats gesamten Existenzraum, von der Idee bis zum Scheitern ihrer Manifestation gehen. Warum nicht, machte ich mir ob der 750 Seiten Mut, Geschichte muss nicht immer Cromwell sein, lasst zur Abwechslung mal Zeitzeugen sprechen. Ich ging rein.Der Roman beschreibt die Geschichte der DDR von ihrer Planung in den Vierzigern im Moskauer Exil bis zu ihrer endgültigen Beendigung mit der Währungsunion im Sommer 1990. Das passiert über die Beschreibung der Leben eines Dutzend Personen, die, familiär oder zufällig, intergenerational miteinander zu tun haben, deren Wege sich treffen und verlieren. Ein "Roots" für Zonis gewissermaßen.Nun tu ich mich, gesegnet mit der Gnade der Geburt in eine minuscule Familie (1x Eltern, 1x Bruder, 1x Großeltern, Tante+Cousine) traditionell schwer mit der Zuordnung von so komplexen Entitäten wie Nichten, Neffen, Schwägern oder gar Schwippschwägern und war leicht besorgt, ob ich den Familienbäumen folgen kann. Aber da war der Real Existierende Sozialismus vor, der die DDR nach nur 40 Jahren im Schlaf erstickte. Das war nicht genug Zeit für eine komplexe Genealogie der Bewohner der 15 Bezirke. Ich konnte folgen.Wir beginnen mit einem Blick auf die Gründer der Republik, wie sie in den letzten Zügen des 2. Weltkrieges aus Moskau eingeflogen werden, wobei es schon dort Gewinner und Verlierer gab; beim Aufbau des sozialistischen deutschen Staates sollte von Anfang nichts schief gehen, da wirst Du nicht berücksichtigt, wenn Du die kleinste Abweichung von der Parteilinie gucken lässt. Alles Männer, klar. Von der anderen Seite, geographisch wie geschlechtlich, werden in den ersten Seiten des Buches Frauen eingeführt, die ihren Mann respektive Vater während des Krieges verloren haben, wenn auch nicht unbedingt so wie man denkt. Denn Katinka ist eine Halbwaise und lebt mit ihrer Mutter Yvonne allein im zerbombten Berlin, nicht weil der Papa vor Stalingrad den gerechten Heldentod fand, sondern weil er ein Jude war und ihm die Flucht nicht gelang. Ein paar Kapitel im Buch sitzt sie neben Wilhelm Pieck, dem ersten Präsidenten der DDR, weil sie Klassenbeste ist. Damit ist sie vom Alter her prädestiniert, die DDR von Anfang bis Ende zu durchleben und uns das gesamte Buch hindurch zu begleiten. Um sie herum werden sich Personen tummeln, die einige prototypische Biographien des Landes repräsentieren, den strammen Funktionär, den Hinterfragenden, den Idealisten, die Karrieristin. Ab und an begegnen einem Personen, die wir als "Berühmtheiten" zu erkennen meinen, Stasi-Abwehrchef Markus Wolf definitiv (im Buch Fuchs) und auch der Anwalt und Unterhändler Wolfgang Vogel als Kuckuck ist wohl zu erkennen. Gemeinsam ist (fast) allen, dass sie der Nomenklatura angehören: selten in höchsten Sphären schweben, aber nie Fußvolk sind. Das werte ich nicht, das Buch ist mit seinen 750 Seiten für eine Biographie eines ganzen Landes sicher nicht sehr lang, aber was die Lern- und Lesebereitschaft eines potentiellen Publikums betrifft eher am dicken Ende des Spektrums und da die Geschichte eines Landes erzählt werden soll, welches vom Anfang bis kurz vor seinem Ende ausschließlich Top-Down organisiert war, macht es irgendwie Sinn, sich in die Innenleben der dem Staat ideell Verpflichteten zu begeben. Den Opfern der DDR wurde in den letzten Jahren ausgiebig Platz und Stimme gegeben, da ist es ok, einmal unapologetisch die andere Seite der Story zu lesen.Das heißt nicht, dass man viel Neues lernt (wenn man aus dem Landstrich kommt), weder was die Fakten noch die Innenansichten der Protagonistinnen betrifft, da bleibt sich Christoph Hein treu. Verschlossen, manchmal fast autistisch sind oft seine Romanhelden und auch auf dem "Narrenschiff", im Buch wie dem diesen Namen gegebenen Land, lebte man unabhängig von der gesellschaftlichen Schicht, jeder in seiner Bubble, dort wo man safe war. Der Blick ging zum Nachbarn, nicht um Kontakt herzustellen, sondern um die Gefahr abzuschätzen, die von ihm ausgeht. Diese lauerten, wie in jeder Hierarchie, von oben wie von unten und nur mit moralischer Flexibilität war es möglich, sich ein so angenehmes Leben in der rationierten Welt der DDR zu machen, wie es die Menschen, die wir begleiten, führen. Explizite Kritik daran darf man vom Buch nicht erwarten, Verfolgte des Regimes kommen nicht vor, aber wie gesagt, ich sehe das nicht kritisch, nicht jedes Buch muss jede Seite beleuchten. Ich als Leser entwickle eher Mitleid mit der grauen, unglücklichen Existenz der Akteure. Bis zum Bau der Mauer getraut sich keiner eine Perspektive zu haben und danach war sie zugestellt. Bitter.Die Flussgeschwindigkeit des Buchs ist hoch, wir durchlaufen die DDR in Höchstgeschwindigkeit. Zwischen manchen Kapiteln werden ganze Jahre übersprungen, was auch eine Aussage ist: es war nicht viel los in der Zone. Was los war, geschieht im Hintergrund von Episoden des Privaten der Akteure: Liebschaften, Karrierebrüche, Kinderkriegen, Sterben geben Anlass, wie nebenbei zu erzählen, was in der DDR und, seltener, der Welt gerade geschieht: 17. Juni, Prager Frühling, NATO-Osterweiterung, Mauerfall. Die Erzählweise dieser Episoden erinnern ein wenig an Alexander Kluge in seiner epochalen "Chronik der Gefühle", wenn man es wohlwollend betrachtet; an eine Aneinanderreihung von Schulaufsätzen, wenn man garstig ist. Die Sprache ist wohlwollend "ungekünstelt" und böswollend "unkünstlerisch". Nun ist Christoph Hein ein Künstler und das Buch bei Suhrkamp erschienen, also muss die Plattheit der Dialoge, das Einheitssozialistisch der Beschreibungen Methode sein. Aber so steif , Herr Hein? Ein Jugendlicher studiert in einer fast ausschließlich weiblichen Studiengruppe, was in diesem Satz zusammengefasst wird:In seiner Seminargruppe war er der einzige männliche Student, was ihn zum Hahn im Korb machte. Der Mittelpunkt in einem Pulk gleichaltriger Mädchen zu sein, gefiel ihm, und er genoss es sehr, von allen jungen Frauen umschwärmt zu werden und mit der einen und anderen sogar ein intimes Verhältnis zu haben.Es wimmelt in Charakterbeschreibungen von DDR-Zeugnisworten wie "wissbegierig", "umsichtig" und "verantwortungsvoll" und zwar nicht eingestreut, sondern in der vollen realsozialistischen Breitseite. Hein beschreibt die Entwicklung eines Kindes in der Schule mit:Er war bei dieser Beschäftigung [dem Werken] sehr geschickt und einfallsreich, lernte aufgeschlossen und wissbegierig alle Techniken, die der Lehrer den Kindern beibrachte.Ein schwuler Mann sagt zu seinem Freund nach dem Abendessen:Du bist ein Weltmeister der kulinarischen Improvisationen, ein Held des Herds.Seriously? Nun konnte ich Charlotte Gneuß bestätigen, dass man in der DDR oder mindestens in Gittersee exakt die Worte verwendete, die sie ihren Protagonisten in den Mund legt. Da ich mich nicht in den Kreisen der DDR-Nomenklatura bewegte, kann ich Christoph Hein diese Bestätigung nicht geben, vielleicht sprach man in Parteisekretariatsfamilien am Abendbrottisch wie Honni beim 8. Parteitag, aber ich kann das nicht wirklich glauben. Und selbst wenn es so war, muss man dann den ganzen Roman in diesem Stil schreiben? Das über 750 Seiten durchzuhalten ist zweifellos beeindruckend, und ich bin nicht sicher, ob ich das Kompliment hier dem Schriftsteller oder dem Leser mache.Kurzum: Wenn man kein traumatisierter Verfolgter des SED-Regimes ist, der beim Lesen von Büchern, die klingen wie die Anklageschrift, wegen der sie in Bautzen saß, PTSD bekommt, sollte man „Das Narrenschiff“ angehen, vielleicht mit ein wenig Wohlwollen und Offenheit der absurden Sprache gegenüber. So wie einen der Brutalismus einer tschechischen Kleinstadt ästhetisch nicht sofort begeistert, es einen aber irgendwie doch kriegt, so ist der Blick auf 40 Jahre DDR, den das Narrenschiff über zwei Buchlängen in reinem DDR-Deutsch liefert, den Aufwand wert, meine ich, hoffe ich. Und wünsche mir und Christoph Hein im nächsten Buch eine Rückkehr zu seiner eigenen Sprache. This is a public episode.

Oliver Cromwell's friend and Secretary of State John Thurloe was also one of the most effective spymasters in English history. Catching the Gerard Plot before they could assassinate the Lord Protector, and uprooting Penruddock's Uprising until it was just Penruddock left, he kept the Protectorate safe from threats. But he could not shield Cromwell from the terrible news of the Western Design. Alice Hunt, Republic, 2024. Martyn Bennet, Oliver Cromwell, 2006.

Yesterday on the show, Jerry spoke to Deputy Danny Healy-Rae, who mentioned the landing of Papal Nuncio Archbishop Giovanni Battista Rinuccini at Kenmare in 1645. This was in the context of the Kerry TD’s request for more funding for Kenmare Pier. To find out more about Archbishop Rinuccini, Jerry spoke to Professor Tadhg Ó hAnnracháin, School of History, UCD, and author of Catholic Reformation in Ireland: The Mission of Rinuccini 1645-1649.

In the grand finale of our Conquest series, Naomi and Tim dig into one of the most notorious episodes of Irish history, starring none other than Oliver Cromwell. We explore his rise to power as a major player in the puritan faction of England's civil war, and how he came to view the task of "pacifying" Ireland both as a way to solidify his support, and as a kind of holy war. Cromwell's actions in Ireland were genocidal. Nevertheless, we discuss how his actions in Ireland continue to be played down among historians in Britain to this day. Naomi and Tim discuss more, including the uncomfortable resonances to current day news, in a bonus debrief episode over on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/posts/halfpint-debrief-130363450 Micheál Ó Siochrú's authorative work on Cromwell, 'God's Executioner', is available here: https://www.faber.co.uk/product/9780571218462-gods-executioner/?srsltid=AfmBOoqKEZw77QejfJJh-6OoFsKDvgeO55jZSaEZMvc665fFaNgx2SPE

In this week's episode, I take a look at the movies and streaming shows I watched in Winter and Spring 2025. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebook versions of my anthologies at my Payhip store: JUNE25 The coupon code is valid through June 17, 2025. So if you need a new ebook this summer, we've got you covered! TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates   Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 252 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is May 23rd, 2025, and today we are looking at the movies and streaming shows I watched in Winter and Spring 2025. We missed doing an episode last week for the simple reason that the day before I wanted to record, we had a bad thunderstorm that knocked down large portions of my fence, so my recording time was instead spent on emergency fence repair. However, the situation is under control, so hopefully we'll be back to weekly episodes for the immediate future. And now before we get to our main topics, let's have Coupon of the Week and then a progress update on my current writing projects.   So first up, Coupon of the Week. This week's coupon code will get you 25% off the ebook version of all my short story anthologies at my Payhip store and that is JUNE25. As always, the coupon code and links will be available in the show notes. This coupon code is valid through June the 17th, 2025, so if you need a new ebook for this summer, we have got you covered.   And now an update on my current writing projects. Ghost in the Corruption is finished. It is publishing right now. In fact, I paused the publishing process to record this and so by the time this episode goes live, hopefully Ghost in the Corruption should be available at all ebook stores. My next main project now that Ghost in the Corruption is done will be Shield of Power and as of this recording I am 15,000 words into it. My secondary projects will be Stealth and Spells Online: Final Quest and I'm 97,000 words into that, so hopefully that will come out very shortly after Shield of Power and I'll also be starting Ghost in the Siege, the final book in the Ghost Armor series as another secondary project and I'm currently zero words into that. So that is where I'm at with my current writing projects.   In audiobook news, Ghost in the Assembly (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy) is now out and should be available at all the usual audiobook stores so you can listen to that if you are traveling for the summer. Recording of Shield of Battle (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) is underway soon. I believe he's starting it this week, so hopefully we will have another audiobook in the Shield War series for you before too much longer. So that's where I'm at with my current writing projects.   00:02:17 Main Topic: Winter/Spring 2025 Movie Roundup   And now let's move on, without any further ado, to our main topic. Summer is almost upon us, which means it's time for my Winter/Spring 2025 Movie Roundup. As usual, the movies and streaming shows are listed in order for my least favorite to my most favorite. The grades are based upon my own thoughts and opinions and are therefore wholly subjective. With all of that said, let's get to the movies and our first entry is MacGruber, which came out in 2010 and in all honesty, this might be objectively the worst movie I have ever seen. The Saturday Night Live MacGruber sketches are a parody of the old MacGyver action show from the ‘80s. And so the movie is essentially the sketch stretched out to make a parody of an ‘80s action movie. It is aggressively dumb and crude. Its only redeeming feature is that the movie knows it's quite stupid and so leans into the stupidity hard. I'll say this in its favor, MacGruber has no pretensions that is a good movie and does not take itself seriously and then runs away hard with that fact. For that he gets a plus, but nothing else. Overall grade: F+   Next up is Down Periscope, which came out in 1996. Now the fundamental question of any movie is the one Russell Crowe shouted at the audience in Gladiator: “Are you not entertained?” Sadly, I was not entertained with Down Periscope. This wanted to be a parody of Cold War era submarine thrillers like The Hunt for Red October, I say wanted because it didn't really succeed. Kelsey Grammer plays Lieutenant Commander Thomas Dodge, an unorthodox US Navy officer who wants command of his own nuclear sub, but he's alienated a few admirals, which is not traditionally a path to career advancement in the military. Dodge gets his chance in a Navy wargame where he has to command a diesel sub against nuclear subs. Sometimes parodies are so good that they become an example of the thing they are parodying (Hot Fuzz and Star Trek: Lower Decks are excellent examples of this phenomenon). The trouble is that the movie takes itself too seriously and just isn't all that funny. A few funny bits, true, but not enough of them. In the end, this was dumb funny but didn't resonate with me the way other dumb funny movies like Dodgeball and Tropic Thunder did. Overall grade: D   Next up is Deadpool and Wolverine, which came out in 2024. Unlike Down Periscope, I was entertained with this movie, though both movies reside on the dumb funny spectrum. Deadpool and Wolverine is basically one long meta in-joke/love letter for the last 30 years of superhero movies. If you've seen enough of those movies, you'll find those movies funny, if occasionally rather tasteless. If you haven't seen enough of those movies, Deadpool and Wolverine will just be incomprehensible. The plot is that Wade Wilson AKA Deadpool gets pulled into some Marvel style multiverse nonsense. To save his universe from destruction, he needs to recruit a Wolverine since in his universe, Wolverine died heroically.   In the process, Deadpool stumbles across the worst Wolverine in the multiverse. Together they have to overcome their mutual dislike and attempt to save Deadpool's universe from destruction at the hands of a rogue branch of the Time Variance Authority. This means the movie can bring in a lot of cameos from past Marvel films. Hugh Jackman's performance really carries the movie on its back. Like I said, this movie is essentially one very long Marvel in-joke. I thought it was funny. I definitely think it can't stand on its own without having seen a sufficient number of the other Marvel movies. Overall grade: C   Our next movie is the Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, which came out in 2024. This is very loosely (with an emphasis on “very”) based on Operation Postmaster during World War II, when British Special Forces seized some Italian ships that had been supplying parts for German U-boats. It was entertaining to watch but it couldn't quite make up its mind tonally if it was a war thriller or a heist movie about Western desperados recruited into a crew. It kind of tried to do both at the same time, which killed the momentum. Like, the first parts of the movie where the protagonists take out a Nazi patrol boat and then free a prisoner from a base were good thriller stuff, but then the plot fused with the heist stuff and really slowed down through the middle forty percent or so. It was also oddly stylized with a lot of spaghetti western-style music that seemed out of place and some stuff just didn't make sense, like at the end after pulling off the mission, the protagonists were all arrested. That just seems bizarre since if anything, Winston Churchill and a lot of the British wartime leadership were enthusiastic about special operations and probably had too much confidence in the effectiveness of covert operations. So I did enjoy watching this, but I can see why it didn't make a lot of money at the box office. Overall Grade: C   Next up is The Gorge, which came out in 2025. This was a peculiar mix of science fiction, romance, and horror. For the romance part, perhaps shooting zombies together is a good idea for a first date. Before I dig into the movie, a brief rant. In one scene, a character is using a chainsaw with no protective gear whatsoever and she's not fighting zombies or anything in a situation where she has to pick up a chainsaw without preparing first. She's trimming branches to pass time. If you're using a chainsaw, at a minimum you want protective eyewear and headphones. Ideally you'd want chainsaw pants as well to reduce the chance of serious injury if you slip and swing the saw into your leg. Since I became a homeowner, I've used a chainsaw a number of times and believe me, you definitely want good eye and ear protection. This has been your public safety announcement for this movie review.   Anyway, loner former sniper Levi is approached by a high ranking intelligence officer giving him a mysterious job. He needs to guard a tower overlooking a mysterious mist-filled gorge for one year. On the other side of the gorge is another tower, guarded by an elite Lithuanian sniper named Drasa. Like Levi, Drasa has a fair bit of emotional damage and they're officially forbidden to communicate. However, they're both lonely and they soon start communicating over the gorge using telescopes and whiteboard messages. Eventually Levi gets emotionally close enough to Drasa to rig a zipline to cross the gorge and speak with her in person.   Unfortunately, it turns out the gorge is full of twisted creatures that storm out and attack and the job of the two snipers is to keep them contained. If Levi and Drasa want to save their lives, they'll need to unravel the dark secret within the gorge. This movie was interesting and I enjoyed watching it, but it falls apart if you think about it too much (or at all). Like the chainsaw thing I ranted about above. The entire movie runs on that sort of logic. That said, I appreciate how the filmmakers were trying something new instead of something like Deadpool and Wolverine. Additionally, this was an Apple+ movie and it's interesting how Apple's approach to streaming is to just make a whole bunch of random stuff that's totally distinct, from Ted Lasso to Mythic Quest to Severance to The Gorge. It's like, “we have more money than most countries, so we're going to make Ted Lasso because we feel like it.” Then again, Apple+ is apparently losing a billion dollars every year, so maybe they'll eventually change their minds about that approach. Overall Grade: B-   Next up is Click, which came out in 2006. Cross It's a Wonderful Life with A Christmas Carol and the comedic style of Adam Sandler and you end up with Click. Basically Sandler plays Michael Newman, a workaholic architect with a demanding boss and increasingly strained relationship with his wife and children due to his workload. In a fit of exasperation with his situation, he goes to Bed Bath and Beyond, where he encounters an eccentric employee named Morty (played entertainingly by Christopher Walken). Morty gives him a remote control that lets him fast forward through time, which Michael then uses to skip the boring and tedious parts of his life, but he overuses the remote and goes too far into the future and sees the disastrous results of his current life choices. Definitely a story used in A Christmas Carol and It's a Wonderful Life but effectively told and I was entertained (rather on the crude side, though). Overall Grade: B- Next up is Mr. Deeds, which came out in 2002. This was actually one of Adam Sandler's better movies, in my opinion. It was a remake of the ‘30s movie Mr. Deeds Goes To Town. In this new version, Sandler plays Longfellow Deeds, a popular pizzeria owner in a small New Hampshire town. Unbeknownst to Deeds, his uncle is the owner of a major media mega corporation and when he dies, Deeds is his legal heir. When the company's CEO and chief lawyer arrive at the pizzeria to inform him of this fact, Deeds goes to New York and soon finds himself involved in the CEO's sinister machinations. Yet he happens to rescue an attractive woman from a mugger, but there is more to her than meets the eye. The movie was funny and not as crude, well, not quite as crude as some of Sandler's other stuff. It had good story structure and several great lines, my favorite of which was “he was weak and cowardly and wore far too much cologne.”   Sandler's movies, in a strange way, are often very medieval. Like various medieval fables had a savvy peasant outwitting pompous lords, greedy merchants, and corrupt clergymen. The best Adam Sandler protagonist tends to be a good natured everyman who defeats the modern equivalent of medieval authority figures- evil CEOs, arrogant star athletes, sinister bureaucrats and so forth. Overall Grade: B     Next up is House of David, which came out in 2025 and this is basically the story of King David from the Bible told in the format of an epic fantasy TV series. Like if someone wanted to do an epic fantasy series about Conan the Barbarian, it could follow the same stylistic format as this show. And of course Conan and David followed a similar path from adventurer to king. Anyway, if one were to pick a part of the Bible from which to make a movie or TV series, the story of David would be an excellent choice because David's life was so dramatic that it would hardly require any embellishments in the adaptation. The story is in the Books of First and Second Samuel. King Saul is ruling over the Israelites around 1000 BC or so, but has grown arrogant. Consequently, God instructs the prophet Samuel to inform Saul that the kingdom will be taken away from him and given to another. God then dispatches Samuel to anoint David as the new king of Israel. David is a humble shepherd but then enters Saul's service and undertakes feats of daring, starting with defeating the giant Goliath and leading Saul's troops to victory and battle against Israel's numerous enemies. (The Iron Age Middle East was even less peaceful than it is now.) Eventually, Saul's paranoia and madness gets the best of him and he turns on David, who flees into exile. After Saul and his sons are killed in battle with the Philistines. David returns and becomes the acknowledged king after a short civil war with Saul's surviving sons and followers.   If Saul's fatal flaw was his arrogance of pride, David's seems to have been women. While the story of David and Bathsheba is well known, David nonetheless had eight wives (most of them at the same time) and an unknown but undoubtedly large number of concubines. Naturally David's children from his various wives and concubines did not get along and David was almost deposed due to the conflicts between his children. Unlike Saul and later David's son Solomon, David was willing to repent when a prophet of God informed him of wrongdoing and to be fair to David, monogamy was generally not practiced among Early Iron Age Middle Eastern monarchies and dynastic struggles between brothers from different mothers to seize their father's kingdoms were quite common, but enough historical digression.   Back to the show, which covered David's life up to the death of Goliath. I thought it was quite well done. Good performances, good cinematography, excellent battles, good set design and costuming, and a strong soundtrack. All the actors were good, but I really think the standout performances were Stephen Lang as Samuel, Ali Sulaman is King Saul, Ayelet Zurer as Saul's wife Queen Ahinoam, and Davood Ghadami as David's jerkish (but exasperated and well-intentioned) eldest brother Eliab. Martyn Ford just looks extremely formidable as Goliath. You definitely believe no one in their right mind want to fight this guy.   Making fiction of any kind based on sacred religious texts is often tricky because no matter what you do, someone's going to get mad at you. The show has an extensive disclaimer at the beginning of each episode saying that it is fiction inspired by the Bible. That said, House of David doesn't really alter or deviate from the Biblical account, though it expands upon some things for the sake of storytelling. Queen Ahinoam is only mentioned once in the Bible as the wife of Saul, but she has an expanded role in the show and is shown as the one who essentially introduces Saul to the Witch of Endor. Goliath also gets backstory as one of the “Anakim,” a race of giants that lived in Canaan in ancient times, which is something that is only mentioned in passing in the Old Testament. Overall, I enjoyed the show and I hope it gets a second season.   What's interesting, from a larger perspective, is to see how the wheel of history keeps turning. In the 1950s and the 1960s, Biblical epics were a major film genre. The 10 Commandments and Ben Hur with Charlton Heston are probably the ones best remembered today. Eventually, the genre just sort of ran out of gas, much the way superhero movies were in vogue for about 20 years and began running out of steam around 2023 or so. Like, I enjoyed Thunderbolts (which we're going to talk about in a little bit), but it's not going to make a billion dollars the way Marvel stuff often did in the 2010s. The wheel just keeps turning and perhaps has come back around to the popularity of Biblical epics once more. Overall Grade: A   Next up is Chef, which came out in 2014. I actually saw this back in 2021, but I watched it again recently to refresh my memory and here are my thoughts. I quite liked it. It's about a chef named Carl Casper, who's increasingly unhappy with his work after he gets fired over a Twitter war with a writer who criticized his cooking. Carl is out of options and so he starts a food truck and has to both rediscover his love of cooking and reconnect with his ex-wife and 10-year-old son. In Storytelling: How to Write a Novel (my book about writing), I talked about different kinds of conflict. Carl's conflict is an excellent example of an entirely internal conflict. The critic is an external enemy, but he's basically the inciting incident.   Carl's real enemy is his own internal conflict about art versus commerce and a strained relationship with his son. I recommend the movie. It was rated R for bad language, but there's no nudity or explicit sexual content and honestly, if you've ever worked in a restaurant kitchen or a warehouse, you've heard much worse in terms of language. The movie also has an extremely valuable lesson: stay off social media when you're angry. Overall Grade: A     Next up is Thunderbolts, which came out in 2025 and I thought this was pretty good, both very dark and yet with quite a lot of humor to balance the darkness. Former assassin Yelena Belova has been working as a mercenary for the sinister director of the CIA, Valentina de Fontaine (now there's a villain name if there ever was one). Yelena has grown disillusioned with her life and career and is suffering from increasing depression since she never really dealt with the death of her sister. Valentina promises her one last job, only for Yelena to realize that Valentina decided to dispose of all her freelance contractors at once, which includes US Agent and Ghost (previously seen in The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Antman and the Wasp). In the process of escaping Valentina's trap, Yelena stumbles across a mysterious man who identifies himself as Bob, who has no memory of how he got there, but shows increasingly unusual abilities. Yelena wants to deal with Valentina's betrayal, but it turns out one of Valentina's science projects has gotten out of control and is threatening the world. The movie was well constructed enough that it didn't rely too heavily on previous Marvel continuity. It was there, but you probably wouldn't be lost without it. It almost feels like Marvel looked at the stuff they did the last couple of years and said, okay, a lot of this didn't work, but makes great raw material for new things. It helped that the central conflict was in the end, very human and about the characters, not stopping a generic villain from getting a generic doomsday device. Overall Grade: A   Next up is The Hound of the Baskervilles, which came out in 1988. This is a movie length episode of The Return of Sherlock Holmes television series, which had Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes and Edward Hardwicke as Dr. Watson. The plot deals with Sir Henry Baskerville, the American heir to an English manor set in the Windswept moors of Dartmoor. Apparently there's an ancestral curse laid over the Baskerville estate that manifests in the form of a spectral hound. Local rumors hold that the previous holder of the manor, Sir Charles Baskerville, was killed by the ghostly hound and many of the local people fear it. The local physician, Dr. Mortimer, is so worried about the hound that he comes to Sherlock Holmes for help. Holmes, of course, is skeptical of any supernatural explanation and soon becomes worried that an extremely subtle and sinister murderer is stalking Sir Henry.   Jeremy Brett's version of Holmes is, in my opinion, the best portrayal of the character and Edward Hardwicke's version of Watson is a calm, reliable man of action who sensibly takes a very large revolver with him when going into danger. Definitely worth watching, Overall grade: A   Next up is Sonic the Hedgehog 3, which came out in 2024. The 2020s have been a downer of a decade in many ways, but on the plus side, between Super Mario Brothers and Sonic the Hedgehog, people have finally figured out how to make good video game movies, so we've got that going for us. Sonic 3 was an excellent kids movie, as were the first two in the trilogy. In this one Sonic is living with Knuckles and Tails under the care of their human friends Tom and Maddy, but then a dark secret emerges. The government has been keeping a Superpowered hedgehog named Shadow in stasis and Shadow has broken out. It's up to Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails to save the day.   Meanwhile, Dr. Robotnik is in a funk after his defeat at Sonic's hands in the last movie, but then his long lost grandfather, Gerald Robotnik returns seeking the younger Dr. Robotnik's help in his own sinister plans. Keanu Reeves was great as Shadow (think John Wick if he was a superpowered space hedgehog in a kid's movie). Jim Carrey famously said he would retire from acting unless a golden script came along and apparently that golden script was playing Dr. Ivo Robotnik and his evil grandfather Gerald. To be fair, both the Robotniks were hilarious.   It is amusing that Sonic only exists because in the 1990s, Sega wanted a flagship video game character that won't get them sued by either Nintendo or Disney. It is also amusing that the overall message of the Sonic movies seems to be not to trust the government. Overall Grade: A   Next up is Paddington in Peru, which came out in 2024. This is also an excellent kids' movie. In this installment, Paddington has settled into London with the Brown family and officially become a UK citizen. However, he receives a letter from Peru that his Aunt Lucy has mysteriously disappeared into the jungle. Distraught, Paddington and the Browns set off for Peru at once. Adventures ensue involving mysterious lost treasure, a crazy boat captain, and an order of singing nuns who might not quite be what they appear. Anyway, it's a good kids' movie. I think Paddington 2 was only slightly better because Hugh Grant as the chief villain, crazy actor Phoenix Buchanan, was one of those lightning in the bottle things like Heath Ledger as the Joker in the Dark Knight. Overall Grade: A   Now for the two best things I saw in Winter/Spring 2025. The first of them is Andor Season Two, which came out in 2025. Star Wars kind of has an age range the way Marvel stuff does now. What do I mean by that? In the Marvel comics and some of the TV series like Jessica Jones, they get into some really dark and heavy stuff, very mature themes. The MCU movies can have some darkness to them, but not as much because they're aiming at sort of escapist adventures for the general audience. Then there are kid shows like Spidey and Friends that a relative of mine just loved when he was three. You wouldn't at all feel comfortable showing a 3-year-old Dr. Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, but Spidey and Friends is just fine.   Star Wars now kind of has that age range to its stuff and there's nothing wrong with that. Sometimes you want to see a dark meditation upon human nature. Sometimes you need something kid friendly to occupy the kids you're babysitting and sometimes you just want to relax and watch Mando and Baby Yoda mow down some space pirates or something. All that said, Andor Season Two is some of the darkest and the best stuff that Star Wars has ever done. It successfully shifts genres from Escapist Pulp Space Fantasy to a gritty Political/Espionage Thriller. We in the audience know that the emperor is a Sith Lord who can use Evil Space Magic and wants to make himself immortal, but that fact is totally irrelevant to the characters. Even though some of the characters are high ranking in their respective organizations, this is essentially a “ground's eye” view of the Rebellion and life under the Empire.   In some ways, this is like Star Wars' version of Wolf Hall (which we're going to talk about shortly), in that we know how it ends already, but the dramatic tension comes from the harrowing emotional journey the characters undertake on the way to their inevitable destinations. Cassian Andor is now working for the nascent Rebellion under the direction of ruthless spymaster Luthen Rael. Mon Mothma is in the Imperial Senate, covertly funneling money to the Rebellion and realizing just how much the Rebellion will require of her before the end. Syril Karn, the ineffective corporate cop from Season One, has fallen in love with the ruthless secret police supervisor Dedra Meero, but he's unaware that Director Krennic has ordered Meero to manufacture a false flag incident on the planet Gorman so the planet can be strip-mined for resources to build the Death Star and Dedra has decided to use Syril to help accomplish it. All the actors do amazing jobs with their roles. Seriously, this series as actors really should get at least one Emmy. Speaking of Director Krennic, Ben Mendelson returns as Orson Krennic, who is one of my favorite least favorite characters, if you get my drift. Krennic is the oily, treacherous middle manager we've all had to deal with or work for at some point in our lives, and Mendelson plays him excellently. He's a great villain, the sort who is ruthless to his underlings and thinks he can manipulate his superiors right up until Darth Vader starts telekinetically choking him. By contrast, the villain Major Partagaz (played by Anton Lesser) is the middle manager we wish we all had - stern but entirely fair, reasonable, and prizes efficiency and good work while despising office drama. Unfortunately, he works for the Empire's secret police, so all those good qualities are in the service of evil and therefore come to naught. Finally, Episode Eight is one of the most astonishing episodes of TV I've ever seen. It successfully captures the horror of an episode of mass violence and simultaneously has several character arcs reach their tumultuous climax and manages to be shockingly graphic without showing in a lot of actual blood. Andor was originally supposed to be five seasons, but then Peak Streaming collapsed, and so the remaining four seasons were compressed down to one. I think that was actually to the show's benefit because it generates some amazing tension and there's not a wasted moment. Overall Grade: A+   Now for the second of my two favorite things I saw, and that would be Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, which came out in 2024, but I actually saw it in 2025. This is a dramatization of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall novels about the rise and fall of Thomas Cromwell, who is King Henry VIII's chief lieutenant during the key years of the English Reformation. The first series came out in 2015, but the nine year gap between this and between the second series and the first series actually works quite well since Thomas Cromwell looks like he ages nine years in a single year (which may be what actually happened given how stressful working for someone like Henry VIII must have been). Anyway, in The Mirror and the Light, Cromwell has successfully arranged the downfall and execution of Anne Boleyn, Henry's previous queen. Though Cromwell is haunted by his actions, Henry still needs a queen to give him a male heir, so he marries Jane Seymour. Cromwell must navigate the deadly politics of the Tudor Court while trying to push his Protestant views of religion, serve his capricious master Henry, fend off rivals for the King's favor, and keep his own head attached to his shoulders in the process. Since Cromwell's mental state is deteriorating due to guilt over Anne's death and the downfall of his former master Cardinal Wolsey and Henry's a fickle and dangerous master at the best of times, this is an enterprise that is doomed to fail. Of course, if you're at all familiar with the history of Henry's reign and the English reformation, you know that Cromwell's story does not have a happy ending. Rather, Wolf Hall is a tragedy about a talented man who didn't walk away from his power until it was too late and he was trapped. Anyway, in my opinion, Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light was just excellent. All the performances were superb. Mark Rylance is great as Cromwell and has some excellent “WTF/I'm SO screwed” expressions as Cromwell's situation grows worse and worse. Bernard Hill played the Duke of Norfolk in the first series, but sadly died before Series Two, so Timothy Spall steps in and he does an excellent job of channeling Hill's portrayal of the Duke as an ambitious, crude-humored thug.   Damien Lewis is amazing as Henry VIII and his performance captures Henry's mixture of charisma, extreme vindictiveness, and astonishing self-absorption. The real Henry was known for being extremely charming even to the end of his life, but the charm was mixed with a volcanic temper that worsened as Henry aged and may have been exacerbated by a severe head injury. Lewis's performance can shift from that charm to the deadly fury in a heartbeat. The show rather cleverly portrays Henry's growing obesity and deteriorating health by having Lewis wear a lot of big puffy coats and limp with an impressively regal walking stick.   Overall, I would say this and Andor were the best thing I saw in Winter/Spring 2025. I wouldn't say that Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light is an accurate historical reputation. In real life, Cromwell was rather more thuggish and grasping (though far more competent than his rivals and his master) and of necessity the plot simplifies historical events, but it's just a superb historical drama. Overall Grade: A+ As a final note, I should say that of all the 2024 and 2025 movies mentioned here, the only one that actually saw in the theater was Thunderbolts, and I hadn't actually planned to see it in theaters, but a family member unexpectedly bought tickets for it, so I went along. Which I suppose is the movie industry's biggest problem right now. The home viewing experience is often vastly superior to going to the theater. The theater has the big screen and snacks, but at home you can have a pretty nice setup and you can pause whatever you want, go to the bathroom, and you can get snacks for much more cheaply. That's just much more comfortable than the movie theater.   Additionally, going to the theater has the same serious problem as booking a flight in that you're an enclosed space with complete strangers for several hours, which means you're potentially in a trust fall with idiots. All it takes is one person behaving badly or trying to bring their fake service dog to ruin or even cancel a flight, and the theater experience has much of the same problem, especially since the standards for acceptable public behavior have dropped so much from a combination of widespread smartphone adoption and COVID. The difference between the movie industry and the airline industry is that if you absolutely have to get from New York to Los Angeles in a single day, you have no choice but to book a flight and hope for the best. But if you want to see a movie and are willing to exercise some patience, you just have to wait a few months for it to turn up on streaming. I'm not sure how the movie industry can battle that, but sadly, it is much easier to identify problems than to solve them.   So that is it for this week.

The course of the Protectorate was by no means smooth; but by 1658 the prospect of the return of the monarchy was remote indeed, stability had re-appeared, prosperity was returning. With a spirit of compromise and goodwill, it could surely survive Cromwell's death. Had enough been done to reconcile old factions, was there a desire for compromise for the greater good?

  The JFK Files Volume I : Pieces of The JFK Assassination Puzzle - Find here. The JFK Files Volume II : Pieces of the JFK Assassination Puzzle - Find here. Jeff's recent article on Kennedy's and King - The JFK Files Volume II: Pieces of the Assassination Puzzle Lee Harvey Oswald, A Lone Gunman? Find here. 20 years ago, Jeff was a managing editor for the Hot Springs Village Noise newspaper, a retirement centre in Arkansas. When Jeff relocated to Texas, he became absorbed in the JFK assassination research. Jeff would occasionally draft small articles about his JFK findings and send them into the Hot Springs Village Noise. Public interest in the retirement community was sparked with people requesting more Kennedy write ups from Jeff. In 2021 it was decided a monthly column would be written by Jeff, titled "The JFK Files". Chris Gallop encouraged Jeff to publish a collection of Jeff's articles and his interviews. DPD radio transcripts show Officer L.L. Hill at Cobb Stadium investigating a sighting of a man with a rifle on Nov. 22/63. When questioned by Jeff years later, Mr. Hill denied that he was ever at Cobb Stadium on the day of JFK's assassination. Researcher Gary Shaw located the license number and registration of the suspect at Cobb Stadium, both were fictitious. Jeff brought up these details to Mark Lane, but hasn't seen any evidence of an investigation into the matter. Jeff wrote a three part article on Gaeton Fonzi and his incredible research for George magazine. "The Last Investigation" by Gaeton Fonzi, with foreword by Dick Russell. Find here. Marie Fonzi chatted with Jeff about Gaeton so he could learn about the more intimate and personal side of Gaeton. Gaeton and Marie danced around their kitchen after Senator Schweiker called Gaeton to solve the Kennedy assassination. While spending time and researching with Mary Ferrell, Jeff came across a CIA document that fascinated him. Students at Arlington U in Texas, notified authorities - Russell W. McLarry had made threatening comments against JFK. Jeff was able to locate and interview Russell McLarry, and question him about his arrest experience. Russell had to come up with bail money, and go through the court process, in order to clear his name in the investigation. McLarry was arrested weeks after the assassination. What do Black Op Radio listeners think of that? JFK Pallbearer Tim Cheek was interviewed, giving insight into the events he participated in the night before JFK's funeral. Jeff interviewed DPD Officer Lee Sanders regarding HSCA officers attempting to recreate the shootings from the 6th floor. Sanders told Jeff that none of the officers believed Oswald shot Kennedy from the 6th floor window. Senator Schweiker "there appeared to be fingerprints of the intelligence agencies all over JFK's assassination". CIA operatives were in the court room after Lee Harvey Oswald's arrest in New Orleans in August of 1963. Len & Jeff discuss different players & aspects of the JFK assassination cover up. Len feels the CIA are just the foot soldiers for the intelligence community, the masters are entities lie Simon & Cromwell. Dulles, Lansdale, Cabell brothers, Joannides and the 6th Floor Museum are all complicit in the cover up of JFK's murder. Anna Paulina Luna has specifically asked for the Joannides file from the CIA, the CIA has not complied. Why? Jeff interviewed a great niece of Guy Bannister who felt Oswald was in Bannister's office being "observed" for Hoover. CIA didn't interview Lee Oswald after he returned to the United States with his Russian bride after "defecting"? When Trump was ready to release the JFK files four years ago, something happened, and the next day, he rescinded. Why? From the top down, the government agencies have tried to keep a lid on the truth of JFK's assassination. Many people who have "found" or wanted to release information they...

WARNING: This episode contains spoilers for Episode Five of Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light.Screenwriter, and newly minted Oscar winner, Peter Straughan is fascinated by stories of loyalty and betrayal. In Episode Five of Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light, Cromwell's loyalty is under question. Today, Peter joins the podcast to discuss adapting and writing this captivating drama series.

Last summer, when The New York Times Book Review released its list of the 100 Best Books of the 21st Century, one of the authors with multiple titles on that list was Hilary Mantel, who died in 2022. Those novels were “Wolf Hall” and “Bring Up the Bodies,” the first two in a trilogy of novels about Thomas Cromwell, the all-purpose fixer and adviser to King Henry VIII.Those books were also adapted into a 2015 television series starring Mark Rylance as Cromwell and Damien Lewis as King Henry. It's now a decade later and the third book in Mantel's series, “The Mirror and the Light,” has also been adapted for the small screen. Its finale airs on Sunday, April 27.Joining host Gilbert Cruz on this week's episode is Mantel's former editor Nicholas Pearson. He describes what it was like to encounter those books for the first time, and to work with a great author on a groundbreaking masterpiece of historical fiction.
