Podcasts about Dunkirk

Charles Spicer describes how, following the May 1940 retreat at Dunkirk, Winston Churchill became Prime Minister, finally acting on the intelligence Christie had provided for years. The polemic Guilty Men was published, simplifying the blame for the war onto appeasers like Chamberlain and Baldwin. Meanwhile, Lord Lothian, serving as ambassador to the US, successfully mobilized the "arsenal of democracy" by persuading Roosevelt and the American public to support Britain. The segment also notes the Rudolf Hess mystery, as the deputy Führer flew to Scotland in 1941, mistakenly believing his Fellowship connections could facilitate a peace treaty with the British elite.

Revisitamos, analizamos y discutimos la película DUNKIRK del cineasta Christopher Nolan (2017).Fico CangianoAlexis LeonRobert Garcia

On episode 161 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by AwardsWatch contributor Trace Sauveur to discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, Dunkirk (2017). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision-making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. After Nolan's epic space family drama, the director looked to his other home country of England to take a look at one of the most important moments of humanity within World War II with Dunkirk. Instead of making a sweeping war picture, Nolan strips everything down to the visuals, uses three different sections of time, and splices them together to create the tension, fear of these men stranded on a beach within looking distance of home. In doing this, he created an undeniable masterpiece that took away some of his bad habits and makes a lean film that feels like an action set piece all the way through. Ryan, Jay, and Trace break down their thoughts on the film, Hoyte van Hoytema first collaboration with Nolan, each section of the war, how awesome Tom Hardy is in the plane we see in the film, the acting of Harry Styles, the sound work, and Jay's continued quest to remind us all that WWII is still underrated when we talk about important events in the world. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. You can also listen on the AW YouTube page. This podcast runs 2h04m. The guys will be back next week to continue their series on the films of Christopher Nolan with a review of his next film, Tenet. You can rent it via iTunes and Amazon Prime rental in preparation for the next episode of Director Watch. Till then, let's get into it.

In this sermon on Psalm 46, Roman explores how God is our ultimate refuge in a chaotic world. While fear and loneliness often drive us to seek safety in our own strength, the Gospel reminds us that through Jesus, we are never alone or helpless. Because the Lord of Heaven's Armies is with us, we can stop our striving and find true rest in His power and protection.Talk It Over:1. Roman used the metaphor of Dunkirk to describe feeling "unsafe." What are the specific "wars" or "mountains falling into the sea" in your life right now that make you feel vulnerable or overwhelmed?2. We often feel unsafe because we believe we are alone, helpless, or unprotected. Which of these three lies do you struggle with most, and how does it manifest in your daily anxiety?3. Psalm 46:1 calls God a "very present help in trouble." How does the reality of Jesus being *with* you—made possible through the Gospel—change the way you view your current circumstances?4.  What "weapons" (control, perfectionism, overworking, etc.) are you currently using to try and create your own safety? What would it look like to "be still" and lay those weapons down this week?5. Roman reminded us that because of Christ's victory, we have already won. How does knowing the "end of the story" help you find peace in the middle of your current "battle"?+ + + + +Hey, while you're here, please help Generation by clicking the 'Subscribe' button, then click on the BELL

On episode 160 of the Director Watch Podcast, co-hosts Ryan McQuade and Jay Ledbetter are joined by AwardsWatch contributors Cody Dericks and Josh Parham to discuss the next film in their Christopher Nolan series, Interstellar (2014). Welcome back to Director Watch! On this AwardsWatch podcast, the boys attempt to breakdown, analyze, and ultimately, get inside the mind of some of cinema's greatest auteurs. In doing so, they will look at their filmographies, explore what drives them artistically and what makes their decision-making process so fascinating. Add in a few silly tangents and a fun game at the end of the episode and you've got yourself a podcast we truly hope you love. After hanging up his cape and cowl Dark Knight pictures, Nolan set his sight on the stars, for a space epic that defined a generations taste in cinema. With Interstellar, the famed director takes us on a trip through time and space with a rescue mission to save the human population as Earth slowly dying and decaying. In this trip through a wormhole to investigate prospective, future inhabitance, one engineer (and former pilot) will stop at nothing to finding a solution to not only save humanity, but his family he left back on Earth. In making this bold, ambitious film, Nolan created his most emotional, thrilling, technically daring film of his career so far, but much like Inception, had detractors who took issue with the explanation of the science in the film, as well as feeling emotionally manipulated by the film's ending. Ryan, Jay, Cody, and Josh break down both sides of the Interstellar argument, why they love or dislike it, the score from Hans Zimmer, the use of time in the ending, the film's set piece, the importance of the McConaissance, Anne Hathaway's speech about love, a few impressions of Michael Caine, and why this film is the one that resonates the most with younger cinephiles. You can listen to the Director Watch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more.

The Ending Scene With Jacaerys (Jace) & his Dragon Vermax Is So Game Of Thrones... House of the Dragon Season 3 Premiere Reaction, as HBO's epic fantasy series returns with dragons, betrayal, political intrigue, and one of the most devastating battles in the history of the Dance of the Dragons.

Thank you to Huel for partnering and supporting our show! Featuring dragons clashing above burning fleets, devastating losses at sea, and a tragic ending that reshapes the future of House Targaryen, the episode delivers one of the most shocking and emotionally devastating battles the franchise has ever put to screen. Picking up in the aftermath of Season 2, the episode follows Rhaena Targaryen (Phoebe Campbell — The Last Dragonslayer, Midsomer Murders) as she finally encounters the mysterious wild dragon she has been pursuing, leading to a breathtaking and dangerous first flight that could dramatically alter the balance of power. Meanwhile, King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney — The King, Dunkirk), still scarred from the events of Rook's Rest, flees with Larys Strong (Matthew Needham — The Ritual, Sanditon) to evade the growing threat posed by his increasingly volatile brother, Prince Aemond Targaryen (Ewan Mitchell — The Last Kingdom, World on Fire), who continues consolidating power in King's Landing. At Dragonstone, Rhaenyra Targaryen (Emma D'Arcy — Truth Seekers, Mothering Sunday) prepares to challenge the Triarchy's growing naval threat, while Jacaerys Velaryon (Harry Collett — Dunkirk, Dolittle) attempts to prove himself as a leader by stepping into a role normally reserved for his mother. Alongside Baela Targaryen (Bethany Antonia — Stay Close, Get Even), Jace takes to the skies in one of the episode's most ambitious action sequences. Elsewhere, Daemon Targaryen (Matt Smith — Doctor Who, The Crown) secures a crucial alliance with northern forces, strengthening Queen Rhaenyra's position as the realm edges closer to all-out war. The premiere culminates in a massive naval conflict between Corlys Velaryon (Steve Toussaint — Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, It's a Sin), Alyn of Hull (Abubakar Salim — Raised by Wolves, Assassin's Creed Origins), and the forces of the Triarchy led by Sharako Lohar.

Both hosts came with a stack of their favorite British history books and took turns sharing their picks, debating the merits, going gloriously off-topic about Darkest Hour, the new Wuthering Heights film, Bridgerton, and Dan Jones's upcoming castles book, and building what amounts to a British history reading list that will keep you busy for years. Between them, Jonathan and Brendan recommend over 20 books spanning Alfred the Great, the Tudors, the Regency, Victorian London, World War II, Thatcher, the Iranian Embassy Siege, and the hidden history of English wolves — plus a peek at what's sitting on each of their TBR piles right now.

Brendan's gateway into British history was Alfred the Great by Justin Pollard — a compact, accessible biography of the only English monarch to earn the title "the Great," which he recommends as the perfect gateway drug for readers who think history books are intimidating. Jonathan's most-reread British book is Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island — a definitive outsider's portrait of British culture from the early 1990s that remains beloved by British readers themselves, and the book that most shaped his vision for Anglotopia. Andrew Roberts's one-volume Churchill biography is both Jonathan and Brendan's recommended starting point for anyone wanting a modern, comprehensive, and myth-busting account of Churchill — and Roberts's Napoleon biography is equally essential. Helen Castor is independently named by Brendan as one of his very favorite history writers — her Eagle and the Hart on Richard II and Henry IV, and her Joan of Arc episode of his podcast, are both highlighted as exceptional examples of humanizing complex historical figures without sanitizing them. Both hosts agree that the best history books share a quality: they humanize their subjects — showing the positive and the negative — rather than either condemning or canonizing them. The books they admire most leave the reader to make their own moral judgments. Empireland by Sathnam Sanghera and The Crown's Silence by Brooke Newman both generated significant controversy — particularly in British publications — but both Jonathan and Brendan recommend them as essential, rigorously evidenced correctives to popular myths about the British Empire and the monarchy's role in the slave trade. Ben Macintyre's The Siege — on the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege in London that made the SAS famous — is Brendan's pick for best recent true British history read, praised for building unbearable tension over hundreds of pages before releasing it all in a single extended final chapter. The new Wuthering Heights film gets a thumbs-down from both hosts — "it looks beautiful but just didn't land" — while Darkest Hour generates a spirited debate about the Underground scene that ends with both agreeing it's historically wrong but emotionally right. Both hosts are currently working through books about the interwar period, Cold War espionage, and upcoming releases from Dan Jones and Thomas Asbridge — and both agree that the single greatest problem with loving history books is that the TBR pile never gets shorter. ⠀ Soundbites "I lost it. I said, there's gotta be a better way. I don't want to continually torture my family with all my rants about books. So I started the blog." — Brendan on the one-star Amazon review that launched History Nerds United. "I sent 10 emails on the first day thinking if I get one back I'll be ecstatic. I got eight back within three days. And I've now sat on a boat with Dan Jones having drinks, overlooking Omaha Beach. Nobody tell me it didn't happen." — Brendan on the unexpected magic of the history community. "I have yet to interview a jerk. Everyone has been unfailingly nice and so excited to be there and just so game to talk about whatever." — Brendan on 220+ episodes of History Nerds United. "My long-term goal is to be like Bill Bryson. I've actually met him. He's a very nice chap. I can only hope to be 10% as good as him one day." — Jonathan on Notes from a Small Island and his writing ambitions. *"If you want to understand why everything is happening in Downton Abbey, read *The Decline and Fall of the British Aristocracy. I read it as research for a novel I was writing in college and it has never left me." — Jonathan on David Cannadine's masterwork. "Churchill wouldn't have done that. He was not that type of person. But you put Churchill in a period tube carriage, surrounded by Londoners during the Blitz, and it captures the essence of what the story is trying to tell. Was it real? Heck no." — Jonathan and Brendan on the Underground scene in Darkest Hour. "Helen Castor is constantly teaching you, but you feel like you're just having a conversation within the book. At the end of it, you hear Helen get emotional talking about this teenager burned at the stake — how scared she must have been, even with all her faith. She makes her human instead of an icon." — Brendan on his favorite episode of History Nerds United. "The thesis is that because Britain hunted wolves to extinction, it unleashed the economic powerhouse of sheep farming and wool — and as a consequence of that led to so much of what we know as Britain. I read it and I wanted to read it all over again immediately." — Jonathan on The Last Wolf by Robert Winder. "She stayed laser focused on the Elizabethan succession and somehow it's still interesting all the way through. She mentions the Spanish Armada for about three sentences. I said in my review: this book has been written. We don't need any more on this subject." — Brendan on Tracy Borman's The Stolen Crown. "No author has ever made me feel more lazy than Catherine Grace Katz — she wrote *Daughters of Yalta* while she was in law school. If you told me that I would one day be sitting there with Marsha Clark from the OJ Simpson trial, I would have called you a liar. But that's what this world does." — Brendan on the surreal privilege of the history podcast community. ⠀ Chapters 00:00 Introduction — Jonathan sets up the book conversation episode and introduces

Top stories from issues of the past week's Dunkirk Observer

In Romans 13:8-14, we encounter a powerful paradox that defines Christian living: we are called to love in the middle of a war. Drawing from the historical example of Dunkirk, where civilians risked their lives to rescue strangers from the beaches, we see that genuine love doesn't wait for safe conditions. It moves toward need, regardless of whether we know the person, like them, or agree with them. Paul teaches us that love is not merely a feeling but a debt we owe to everyone around us, the only debt we can never fully repay. This love fulfills all the commandments because when we truly love our neighbor as ourselves, we naturally avoid harming them through adultery, murder, theft, or coveting. The challenge before us is profound: we don't get to choose who needs our love. Like those civilians pulling soldiers from the water, we must leverage everything we have to bless whoever God places in our path. This means making a daily decision to be conduits of Christ's love, recognizing that biblical love is intentional, not accidental. We must die to self, deny our flesh that demands to be served, and instead carry our cross as both an instrument of death and a declaration of love. The world will know we belong to Christ not by our theological precision alone, but by how we love one another across every barrier that typically divides humanity.

Pastor Bob Fox has watched the prayer culture of evangelical churches shift dramatically over the last twenty-five years, and he is not quiet about what that shift has cost. This is a serious, grounded call to pastors and congregations to recover what was lost and restore it for a city under pressure. America Pray Now Assistant Director Ken Miller interviews Pastor Fox in a conversation that calls all believers back to a life of prayer.-------America Pray Now publishes a magazine on prayer that is free of charge and can be delivered directly to your home. You can sign up for this magazine on our website at americapraynow.comIn addition to our weekly podcast, we meet in 17 different cities every month to pray in person. Most of our in-person prayer meetings are in Virginia, and we also have meetings in Maryland, West Virginia, Delaware, North Carolina and South Carolina.

To Pastor Bob Fox, it is a place of foundational spiritual significance for the entire nation, and what happens there matters far beyond its borders.That conviction drives this episode of the Virginia Pray Now monthly call, hosted by Ken Miller of America Pray Now. Pastor Fox, who has served in pastoral ministry in the Hampton Roads area for thirty-five years, joins the call to share his burden for Virginia Beach and to make a case that the church in that city, and perhaps across the country, has quietly retreated from one of its most essential callings: corporate, focused, expectant prayer.The historical foundation Pastor Fox returns to is the 1607 landing at Cape Henry, where the first English settlers knelt and dedicated the land to Jesus Christ before they did anything else. Fox sees this act as more than a historical footnote. He believes it established a spiritual root for the nation, and that the health or brokenness of this region flows outward into the rest of America. This is not background information to him. It is the reason Virginia Beach carries unusual weight in the spiritual geography of the country, and the reason its current struggles demand serious attention from the church.Those struggles have become visible in disturbing ways. Over consecutive weekends, the Virginia Beach oceanfront saw multiple-victim shootings that shocked the city and led officials to impose curfews that are essentially unprecedented for a place that has long prided itself on being one of the safest large cities in the nation. The tourism industry, central to the city's economy, took an immediate hit. But Pastor Fox is less concerned with the economic impact than with what these events reveal. He describes the violence and the depression gripping young people as a canary in the coal mine, a signal that something is deeply wrong beneath the surface of community life. His point is not to catastrophize, but to name the moment clearly: the city is hurting, and the church needs to move toward that hurt rather than away from it.At the center of his concern is what he sees as the slow erosion of corporate prayer and community engagement within evangelical churches. He traces this shift across roughly twenty-five years. A generation ago, weekly prayer meetings and active evangelism teams were standard features of church life. Today, those practices have largely disappeared. Churches, in his assessment, have become proficient at serving their own members while losing their outward orientation toward the community. The result is a spiritual vacuum. The church has stepped back from standing in the gap for the vulnerable and the lost, and that withdrawal has consequences.Pastor Fox is careful not to offer despair as a conclusion. Instead, he points toward specific, actionable responses. The first is directed at civil leadership. He believes Mayor Bobby Dyer of Virginia Beach has a unique opportunity and responsibility to call the city to a day of prayer and fasting. Fox cites historical precedents with striking specificity: Abraham Lincoln's call to prayer during the Civil War, King George's call for national prayer before the Dunkirk evacuation, and Governor Pillsbury of Minnesota, who faced a devastating locust plague in the 1870s and declared a day of prayer after all other remedies had failed. In each case, according to Fox, the response from God was measurable and swift. His argument is that a mayor carries a level of credibility and reach that can mobilize diverse houses of worship in ways that individual pastors cannot. When a civic leader stands up and calls people to pray, something shifts.But the second, and ultimately more foundational, response must come from pastors themselves. Fox is direct: if the pastor does not model and lead corporate prayer, the congregation will not follow. He challenges church leaders to move away from broad, unfocused prayer requests and toward specific, sustained intercession on defined topics over a period of months. This approach, he argues, allows people to see that their prayers are actually producing results, which builds faith and increases participation. He also presses the issue of repentance, not only personal repentance, but what he calls foundational repentance for the ancestral sins connected to the Jamestown colony, including the early exploitation of indigenous people and the origins of the slave trade in America. He frames the confession of these sins as a biblical act, necessary before God can fully heal the land.The call closes with an extended time of intercession led by Ken Miller, Pastor Fox, and America Pray Now Director Hanna Alway. Their prayers are specific: wisdom for city officials, judges, and law enforcement; protection over the young people of Virginia Beach; a fresh move of the Spirit across the region. They also address a redistricting proposal on the upcoming ballot, urging listeners to engage with it as a matter of justice and righteous representation.The episode ends with a thirty-day prayer commitment focused on Virginia Beach, rooted in the belief that what God does there does not stay there. It ripples outward. The church's job is not to wait for conditions to improve. It is to pray, repent, engage, and trust that God responds when His people ask with faith and specificity.

In Episode 281 of the Great Lakes Fishing Podcast, host Chris Larsen talks with Jim and Diane Steel of Dream Catcher Sportfishing about targeting walleyes in the Eastern Basin of Lake Erie out of Dunkirk, New York. Jim and Diane break down their trolling program step-by-step, including how they run leadcore on planer boards, dipsy divers, and downriggers, and why stickbaits and spoons have largely replaced worm harnesses in their spread. They also explain how paying attention to downspeed and temperature at the probe helps anglers stay consistent when fishing deep open water structure. The conversation covers: Why Dunkirk is one of the most versatile ports on Lake Erie Typical rod spreads for Eastern Basin walleye trolling Stickbait and spoon size selection Speed control strategies (including their 2.2 mph starting point) How turns trigger bites when fish are following Seasonal timing from spring through fall Why the current Lake Erie walleye fishery is among the best in decades Common mistakes new trollers make—and how to fix them If you're planning a trip to the Eastern Basin of Lake Erie or looking to improve your trolling success on walleyes anywhere on the Great Lakes, this episode is packed with practical advice you can use right away.

What does it take to break into the trailer business, survive the agency grind, and help shape campaigns for some of the biggest films of the last two decades? This week on Trailer Geeks and Teaser Gods, we sit down with Creative Director, Producer and Creative Executive Kazadi Katambwa to discuss craft, career, and creative instinct. Kazadi walks through his journey from film-loving college student in the Midwest to runner at Wiser Post, to assistant editor at Intralink, and eventually to cutting and producing major theatrical campaigns for films like The Dark Knight, Inception, Dunkirk, Mad Max: Fury Road, and many more. Along the way, the conversation explores the realities of Hollywood career paths, the importance of mentorship, and the delicate art of marketing great movies without getting in their way. Kazadi shares behind-the-scenes stories about working with Christopher Nolan, the challenge of distilling high-concept films into thirty seconds, and the creative leap from editor to producer to studio executive. From humble beginnings with a Thomas Guide in the passenger seat to shaping global campaigns at Amazon Studios, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and hard-earned wisdom for anyone who loves trailers or dreams of making them. Key Takeaways From Runner to Creative Voice Kazadi reflects on starting at the very bottom of post-production and learning the craft by watching great editors work. Patience, curiosity, and a willingness to say yes opened doors that formal plans never could. Reverse Engineering Great Trailers Early on, Kazadi studied timelines and cuts to understand how trailers were built. That hands-on education became the foundation of his editorial instincts. Working on The Dark Knight and Inception Marketing films of that caliber brought unique pressures. Great movies can be harder to market because the campaign must rise to the same level of excellence. Quiet Can Be Louder Than Loud On campaigns like Dunkirk, restraint and confidence became creative tools. Sometimes a simple heartbeat and the right image communicate more than any barrage of sound. The Power of Relationships Career moves from Intralink to Seismic to Buddha Jones happened through trust and collaboration. In trailer marketing, reputation and relationships remain everything. Evolving From Editor to Executive Moving from the editing chair to creative leadership required a new mindset. Protecting the creative while guiding teams became the next chapter of the journey. Understanding Filmmakers Working with directors like Christopher Nolan reinforced a crucial lesson. Great campaigns respect the filmmaker's vision and find ways to amplify it rather than replace it. Notable Quotes "Sometimes marketing a bad movie is hard. But marketing a great movie can be even harder." "Loud is not always the best thing. Quiet can be just as powerful." "Study the timeline. That's where the education really happens." "The best trailers feel confident. You can sense when a campaign is trying too hard." "Relationships are what move careers forward in this town."

1940: The Fall of France and the Rise of Churchill: Colleague Charles Spicer recounts that as the British Expeditionary Force retreated from Dunkirk in May 1940, Winston Churchill became Prime Minister and actively utilized intelligence from Christie and Vansittart; critiquing the 1940 book Guilty Men as a simplistic polemic that established the popular narrative blaming appeasers for the war, the narrative highlights Lord Lothian's success in Washington persuading Roosevelt to support Britain, and connects Rudolf Hess's flight to Scotland to the Fellowship, explaining that Hess sought out the Duke of Hamilton in a delusional attempt to broker peace. 1938
