Mattson, Alec and JJ delve into the cinematic representation of the Battle of Gettysburg, as depicted in the film "Gettysburg," directed by Ron Maxwell. The discussion commences with an acknowledgment of the film's length, a staggering four and a half hours, yet the hosts express their admiration for its historical depth and character development. We explore the compelling narrative derived from Michael Shaara's "Killer Angels," which provides a nuanced portrayal of the events and figures surrounding this pivotal moment in American history. Through their analysis, we examine the emotional resonance of the characters, particularly highlighting the dialogues that echo the sentiments of the actual historical figures. Ultimately, this episode serves as a comprehensive exploration of the film's artistic merit and its significant contribution to the understanding of the Civil War narrative.Support us:https://www.patreon.com/whatsourverdictEmail us: hosts@whatsourverdict.comFollow us:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatsourverdictTwitter: @whatsourverdictInstagram: @whatsourverdictYouTube: https://youtube.com/channel/UC-K_E-ofs3b85BnoU4R6liAVisit us:www.whatsourverdict.com

Finding a cause worth dying for is no great trick—the Universe is full of them. Finding one worth living for is the genuine problem! Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.How many vintage science fiction authors won a Pulitzer Prize? Ray Bradbury never won a Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, but received a Pulitzer Special Citation in 2007 for his impact on literature. The answer is three. Booth Tarkington, MacKinlay Kantor and Michael Shaara. Booth Tarkington is one of only four novelists to win the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction more than once, along with William Faulkner, John Updike, and Colson Whitehead. Tarkington wrote only three short sci-fi stories. MacKinlay Kantor wrote eight short sci-fi stories and one science fiction novel If the South Had Won the Civil War released in 1961.Michael Shaara is the most well known of the three. Shaara was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1928. Before he began selling sci-fi for 2 cents a word in the 1950s he was a boxer and a police officer. He won his Pulitzer for his novel about the Battle of Gettysburg, The Killer Angels which won the award in 1975, and was showcased on the big screen in the 1993 movie Gettysburg starring Tom Berenger and Martin Sheen.Shaara also wrote the 1991 novel For Love of the Game which was made into the 1999 film with the same name starring Kevin Costner and Kelly Preston. But it all began back in 1952. He wrote two dozen short sci-fi stories and this was his first. From Galaxy Science Fiction in June 1952, we will discover this tale of artificial intelligence, and the fate of a forgotten world on page 78, Orphans of the Void by Michael Shaara...Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, Renwick, with too much time on his hands, was bored.

If you're visiting Gettysburg soon, you might want to listen to this episode (and all our others) before taking any tour. History podcasts, like this one, like to get deep into the weeds. While that might be good for the lifelong Gettysnerd™, most visitors to Gettysburg have never even seen the movie, let alone read a book about it, so they are coming at it cold. Where did I get that statistic? Totally made it up, but I made it up based on meeting thousands of visitors over the last 18-20 years. Anyway, I asked LBGs Bob Steenstra and Deb Novotny, both retired educators, to help me break down the battle of Gettysburg to what you need to understand before diving in. As much as we try to keep it at a 30,000-foot level, we do dive into the weeds once in a while. Maybe it will make sense to you newbies, maybe it won't, but it will someday. Enjoy your visit and and we hope we can soon count you among the ranks of Gettysnerds™ out there!

Robert Cooper and Mark Radulich review Civil War - The Killer Angels! In early 2012 the four members Daniel Myhr, Daniel Mullback, Oskar Montelius and Rikard Sundén decided to leave the band Sabaton. But the will to play music never left them, so they decided to start a new band - Civil War.The title of the album was named after Michael Shaar's novel The Killer Angels which is about the Battle of Gettysburg during the Civil War in the United States. The album was originally going to steer clear from being historical but Patrik wanted to put history into the lyrics. His historical interest also created the band's name but they plan on writing about a different genre in the future. The band as a whole put their creative and talented minds together to come up with this 80s/90s traditional style of Power Metal to the album. While the album focuses on war elements one can also interpret the lyrics to their own personal battles.This review originally aired 9/17/2013.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things: https://linktr.ee/markkind76 also snapchat: markkind76 FB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSW Tiktok: @markradulich twitter: @MarkRadulich

Over on Waypoint I've spent about a month looking back at Sid Meier's Gettysburg and teaching the game to the rest of the crew (with varying levels of success). But since I was already hip-deep in 90s Civil War culture, Troy and I decided it was time to tackle one of the films that we've been intending to discuss for years: 1993's Gettysburg, directed by Ron Maxwell and bankrolled by Ted Turner. There are a lot of issues with Gettysburg. It's evasive on the subject of slavery, wanting both to ennoble is white Union heroes by reminding us that theirs was an army of liberation but to not think too deeply on who was being liberated or from what. Because it is also a product of Lost Cause traditions where the conflict was predominantly one about culture, or as the foppish British observer in this story declares, the root of the conflict is the “different dreams” of its antagonists. Not pictured: the Confederate dream. It's also a very incomplete military history of the battle of Gettysburg but this really stems from the decisions author Michael Shaara made with his novel The Killer Angels, which finds its central narrative drama in James Longstreets' prescience that Robert E. Lee is marching the army into a decisive defeat while on the Union side the story is told from the perspective of characters who do recognize the stakes and the dangers and have the agency to rise to the moment. It's the stuff of a great war novel but not of a comprehensive military history, and so Gettysburg ends up being a film where Union command is effectively invisible. However, within those choices Gettysburg remains, as Troy says, one of the all-time great battle films. The murkiness in which decisions are made, the clarity of a commander's intentions to his subordinates, the places where the rubber of generalship meets the road of combat… all of this is brilliantly rendered in Gettysburg and, for me and Troy, maintains it as a favorite even for all of its manifest flaws. We also decided that this episode, because it's so directly in dialogue with a ton of work I'm doing over at Waypoint and on streams there, is one we'd just make public instead of reserving it for the Patreon. Troy and I love having these monthly chats for our backers (and our last one on Knight's Tale and Marie Antoinette was another favorite) but here it felt like a useful place to show how we set these discussion about history movies in the context of all the other work we do as critics and professional strategy nerds. And by the way, after having tackled some heavier films of late, next month we're giving ourselves a break with Branagh's Death on the Nile as well as the 1978 version. Troy is trying to convince me to watch the Suchet one was well, and while Suchet is basically to Poirot what Jeremy Brett is to Sherlock Holmes, I've been warned that version is not one of the better Suchet adaptations. But we will at least be alluding to it in that conversation, even if we are focusing on the 2021 and ‘78 versions.

Of course, Michael Shaara is the author who could very well be rsponsible for helping to reignite interest in Gettysburg in the latter portion of the 20th Century. Ken Burns cites the Killer Angels as the book that inspired him to make his epic documentary "The Civil War." That documentary brought Gettysburg a rise in visitation. Then, a few short years later, Ron Maxwell's "Gettysburg" was released and visitation soared. That movie came out when I was in 9th grade, or thereabouts, and it immediately captured my imagination.    But Michael passed away before he could see any of this. His son, Jeff, dutifully picked up the torch and carried it on into a writing career yielding an impressive 18 titles. We'll have Jeff on shortly to talk about his own works. But, we asked him to first come on and talk about his father's work and his father, the man. Enjoy.

    Inner Demons is back with another huge Episode for the listeners and you're gonna wanna stick around for the ending!First on the docket, Brian is astonished to see how childish Lucifer is in the concluding chapter of Daniel Way's Revelations arc in Ghost Rider Issue 19. Thankfully, things start looking up for the reader in the much better Ghost Rider Issue 20 by Jason Aaron. Of course, that's if you call Gun Nuns, Cannibal Ghosts and Killer Angels an "improvement!" I'm sure Blaze would rather be making up insults like last issue instead.Then Brian takes a ride all the way to the year 2099 to discover some of Zero Cochrane's deep seated Daddy Issues in Ghost Rider 2099 Issue 17.Next up, in Cloak and Dagger #18 and Sleepwalker #11...we finally get to catch up with Danny Ketch in two guest appearances he had in the 90s. But GR better watch out, because Mephisto is large and very hungry!And in Ghost Rider Issue 20...Blaze and Daredevil finally find out the identity of the mysterious new Death's Head. They probably should have just looked at the front cover. It was revealed right on there!There's the #PostWritersGR segment with listener feedback from fans like you and more details on our newest contest!!And as a special treat for the listeners...we have the lovely and talented Carrie Harris stop on by to discuss her brand new novel featuring Ghost Rider called "Witches Unleashed." You don't wanna miss it, fellow Flameheads!You can listen to the episode at the Vengeance Unbound page on BlogSpot, or you can download it from Stitcher, iTunes, or Google Podcasts.You can also find us on Facebook, just search  for "Vengeance Unbound" and on Twitter under @InnerDemonsGR.Thanks for listening!

Take our love, take our land, Podcast work is back at hand, Here's a fresh new mp3 You can hear Comic Belief! Shiny, friends! Brand new track! Comin' from a different tack: Buckle up and listen free You might watch it differently ... Welcome back, friends! Megan and Ben are swinging in to Season 3 of Comic Belief with a dive into the cult classic Firefly, with a lot of what we love about it on display. But this isn't just a lovefest -- turns out "take my land" gets a bit awkward when you took it from someone else first and forgot to mention that. We dig into some of the bones of the show that lie in the storytelling of the Civil War novel The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, and where we see Firefly inheriting some of Shaara's limitations along the way. We dive into whether the metaphor gets better or does more damage when Joss Whedon takes some of the sins of history out of it. And we take a pass through how the characters model faith, and where some of Whedon's own suspicions about it might be showing through in a way that stops the show from really giving an earnest voice to people who add a bit of, shall we say, belief to their comics. But is there maybe a saint hidden in there after all? All that and more, polished up and edited for the ride to your next job with your pals. Shiny!

Dave admits to Del that he got a job-a real job. A bike shop took a chance on Dave and he became their oldest and dumbest mechanic. His fellow mechanics are very talented , very young, and have great senses of humor. It's like the perfect job. The Bucks catch up on letters from afar. Many kudos to Judith, Vintage Vixen #1, for sharing her life's journey with all the V's and B's out there.Many strong reactions [perhaps too strong in some cases?] on the segment on aliens. A porta-potty was deemed an alien transport vehicle. Del considers re-opening his counseling business to deal with the paranoia.  Or maybe cats really are aliens.Some thought Dave was too tough on the billionaires in space. Dave responds by challenging Elon Musk to a dance contest.Del tries to fight city hall, or at least the bus company. Listeners are urged to send Del $.60 so he can avoid such unpleasant situations in the future.The water company tells Dave he has a problem. Not as big as the one they have, as it turns out.Del does a book report on The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, a story about the Battle of Gettysburg. Won a Pulitzer Prize in 1975. Five stars.
