Jem Duducu talks Hollywood v History. Buy his new book here. And listen to his podcast here.Here's the blurb of his book:There is no shortage of Hollywood films about historical events, but what do the movies actually get right, and why do they get so much wrong?Hollywood loves a story: good guys versus bad guys, heroes winning the day, and the guy gets the girl. But we all know real life isn't exactly like that, and this is even more true when we look at history. Rarely do the just prevail and the three-act story cannot exist over continents and decades of human interaction. So, when Hollywood decides to exploit history for profit, we end up with a wide array of films. Some are comedies like Monty Python and the Holy Grail, others are little more than action films playing dress up like Gladiator, and many are Oscar contenders burdened with an enormous sense of self-importance. But very few are historically accurate.From Cleopatra to Da 5 Bloods, the reality is no matter what Hollywood's intentions are, almost all historical films are an exaggeration or distortion of what really happened. Sometimes the alterations are for the sake of brevity, as watching a movie in real time about the Hundred Years War would literally kill you. Other additions may be out of necessity, since nobody thought to write down the everyday conversations between King Henry VIII and his second wife, Anne Boleyn, for The Other Boleyn Girl. And some projects twist the facts to suit a more sinister purpose.In Hollywood and History, Jem Duducu takes readers through thousands of years of global history as immortalized and ultimately fictionalized by Hollywood, exploring many facets of the representation of history in movies from the medieval times to the wild west and both World Wars. Along the way, readers will also better understand Hollywood's own history, as it evolved from black and white silent shorts to the multiplex CGI epics of today. As studios and audiences have matured through the years, so too have their representations of history. Armies will clash, leaders will be slain, empires will fall, and a few historical inaccuracies will be pointed out along the way. A must-read for film and history fans alike.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/writers-on-film. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week we welcome Historian, Author  and host of the Condensed Histories Podcast Jem Duducu who joins Paul and Kyle to rant that we just don't treat the Crusades with enough attention to detail.He talks to Paul and Kyle about how the last Crusade was as late as the 1930s, how some Crusades were Christian against Christian and how some even had Christians and Muslims fighting on the same side.In short, the Crusades are a lot more than just heading off to the Middle east to kick in some Muslims.If you'd like to know more about this subject then you can start by listening to the Condensed Histories Podcast on all major podcast platforms.You can follow Jem on Twitter @JemDuducu and you can follow his History Gems Page on FacebookYou can follow History Rage on Twitter @HistoryRage and let us know what you wish people would just stop believing using the Hashtag #HistoryRage.Please support the show on Patreon.

In this episode, Karen is joined by Sam Wilson and Jem Duducu to take a look at the job and role of the medieval knight. Listen in as they compare the enduring myth of knights and the chivalric code to the brutal reality. 

Jem Duducu joins us to talk all about his new book - which looks at all manner of forgotten and weird history.   Buy Jem's book, Slinkys and Snake Bombs: WEIRD but TRUE Historical Facts at our Bookshop:  https://uk.bookshop.org/a/6252/9781398102996 Join the fun on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/historyhack

Have you ever seen an ad - on TV, in a magazine, or online - that was so clever it made you laugh out loud?  Or just hit so close to home it took you by surprise?  What about an ad that was so unbelievably “off” that you couldn't believe anyone ever thought it was a good idea, much less got it greenlit and broadcast into the great collective consciousness? (that Kendall Jenner Pepsi ad, anyone….?). If you've ever wondered where this peculiarly capitalist form of communication came from, wondered why certain marketing campaigns “work” while others crash and burn, or just been curious about the complex psychology behind getting people to open their wallets… well, this is the episode for you. Popular historian and old friend Jem Duducu brings us to the inner sanctum of New York City's 1920s “Ad Men,” and traces their legacy straight on through to today's consumer economy, predicated on universal social media channels that paradoxically target individual communications more precisely than ever before.  So, grab your fedora and follow me onto the swinging streets of New York City in the Jazz Age, to learn how we got here, and, as always,  to think about where we might be headed in the future.

Join Karen and her guest Jem Duducu for a conversation about a unique element of the Ottoman Empire- a central but often misconstrued aspect of this traditional Muslim household - called the harem - and the sometimes surprising influence it had on Ottoman politics. The members of the harem - the sultan’s many wives, concubines, and servants - were enmeshed in a dizzying web of responsibilities and - for those savvy enough - unique opportunities for political maneuvering in a world where the alternative to being attached to the Ottoman ruling machinery was… well, pretty much, yikes.
