Podcasts about Napoleon

Attacking the largest empire the world had ever seen is a huge endeavor at any age, but try doing it at 21. Alexander, fusing the qualities of a Napoleon with a gladiator, aims for immortality. The Persians are just in his way.

History says Napoleon Bonaparte lost his empire on the battlefield —in Russia, at Leipzig, or finally at Waterloo.But what if the real defeat happened years earlier, behind closed doors in Paris?In this episode of Hidden Forces in History, we uncover the quiet diplomatic, financial, and political plot that made Napoleon's fall inevitable long before his armies collapsed.We explore:- How Charles Maurice de Talleyrand undermined Napoleon from inside his own government- Why the Continental System failed — and how British credit networks outlasted French power- How bankers, diplomats, and senators prepared a France without Napoleon- Why Paris surrendered before Napoleon even returned to the capital- And how empires are often destroyed not by generals… but by elites who quietly move onThis wasn't a single conspiracy.It was something far more realistic — overlapping networks of power deciding an emperor had outlived his usefulness.Because wars aren't only lost with cannon fire.They're lost with ink, ledgers, and whispered conversations.

In 1812, Napoleon Bonaparte led the largest army Europe had ever seen on a daring invasion into Russia. A decision that would prove to be a costly mistake and one historians have been talking about for over a century. Join us on this new adventure!

No Sundays, no saints, no salvation. As dechristianisation exploded in the capital, radical revolutionaries closed churches, forced abdications, and turned Notre-Dame into a Temple of Reason. Seeking to replace past errors with enlightenment values, the Cult of Reason was established with mixed success. This episode explores the dramatic escalation of dechristianisation, including the creation of the Cult of Reason. It also examines Bishop Gobel's resignation, and how marriages, abdications, and the cult itself varied across the nation. Revolutionary France Tour Join the waitlist here!

Sagan utspelar sig på Napoleons hipsterfront.Per är den som drar värja den här gången och går igenom slaget, men inte minst fäster han sig vid den (givetvis eldige) franske generalen Jean-Baptiste Kléber vars panasch och dådkraft försatte den egna armén i en fullkomligt ohållbar situation.

(This podcast was previously published on January 27, 2021)   Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...   As a new Christian in 1975, I attended a church named Word of Faith.  Some of the women were speaking of the antichrist.  This is the first time I had ever heard of antichrist.  One woman said she thought antichrist was Henry Kissinger.   In the book, War & Peace, Tolstoy said the Russian Catholic Church people thought the antichrist was Napoleon, who was attacking Russia in the early 1800's.   I recall my aunt, who was Christ of Christ, saying the Catholic church and their pope was antichrist.   Some in WWII thought antichrist to be Adolph Hitler.   It is amazing, but the apostle John tells us about antichrist in I John 2.   (I've never heard these scriptures taught at any church, but these scriptures are in our New Testament Bibles, and tell the answers to these questions.)   * Is antichrist one man?   * Does antichrist come through the governments of men?   The apostle John says:   I John 2:18-19   Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.   19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us (in our church group): but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.   So John tells us there are many antichrists.  And antichrist had been in their church group, in John's time on this earth, which showed it to be "the last time".  (The end time began with the resurrection of Jesus into heaven.)   Paul tells us the following:  Many of the elders in the church at Ephesus were just waiting for him, Paul, to depart so they could rise up and speak "perverse things" to the church at Ephesus.  (antichrist: opposite to Christ, The Word)   Acts 20:29-30 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.  Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.   And Paul explained:   II Thessalonians 2:3-4   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;   (In 1982, God said to me:  "The falling away spoken of by Paul in II Thess. 2, is not men leaving the church groups.  The falling away are church groups leaving the scriptures."  And when this happens, antichrist comes into the church groups and cast aside certain scripture and sets up doctrines in the church which are opposite to scripture.)   2 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.   Antichrist comes through the churches.  Antichrist is a "spirit" in many men. as the devil is a spirit that operates through many men.   I discuss these things on this Podcast.   *****   The main scriptures to study concerning antichrist are the following:   I John 2:18-19   Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.   19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us (in our church group): but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.   ***   II Thessalonians 2:3-4   Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day (of the Lord) shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;   4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.   ***   The falling away from scripture is the restraint keeping antichrist out of the church, and when this falling away from scripture takes place, antichrist moves into "that" church group.   We are seeing this in churches today as they turn from scriptures and set up other doctrines in their churches.   This means Jesus can come at any time now, for this was ordained to happen before Jesus could return.   May God give understanding to all who belong to Him

For this year's Hanukkah special, we're revisiting the timeless saga of RACHEL, the Jewish actress so iconic she needed only one name. It's so interesting to look at her story again after the French Revolution series, because it shows that Market Ladies: The Next Generation were just as riot-happy as the original Sans-Culottes Squad. We're joined by Allison Epstein, our French Revolutionary history advisor, to discuss Rachel's (sexual) Napoleon complex, and all the revolutions that she lived through. When we recorded this, Allison's book Fagin the Thief was not yet for sale. But now it is!!

In the latest episode of our Hero or Villain series hosts Patrick Bishop and Roger Morehouse ask the ultimate question about one of the 20th century's most controversial figures: Was Charles de Gaulle a hero or a villain? De Gaulle remains a giant of French and world history, looming over his nation's political landscape and physical fabric, with over 3,600 public spaces named after him. He is regularly polled as the most important figure in French history, even surpassing Napoleon. Join the debate as Patrick and Roger delve into the General's life and legacy, exploring the pivotal role he played in the Second World War and analyzing what might have happened to a post-war France without his unifying presence. Hear the arguments, weigh the evidence, and decide where this controversial figure truly falls on the ledger. What do you think? Is he a hero or a villain? Cast Your Vote!

Episode Description:In this powerful exposition of John 1:6-13, Pastor Ben Smith unpacks the profound truth that salvation is through faith alone in Jesus Christ—a faith that is itself a gift from God. Continuing through the prologue of John's Gospel, this sermon reveals how God has graciously provided both the testimony to and the way of salvation.In this message, you'll discover:God Provides for Salvation Through a Preceding Witness (vv. 6-8) Pastor Ben examines the God-ordained ministry of John the Baptist, the final Old Testament prophet sent to bear witness to the coming light of Christ. This section traces the faithful line of witnesses God provided throughout redemptive history—from the promise given to Adam and Eve in Genesis 3, through Abraham, David, and the prophets—all testifying to the coming Messiah. The sermon emphasizes that these witnesses were both a gift of God and a ministry to mankind, graciously preparing hearts to believe in Jesus.God Provides for Salvation Through the Revelation of Truth (vv. 9-11) This section reveals Jesus as the true light—not merely a reflection or testimony, but the full revelation of God Himself. Pastor Ben addresses the sobering reality that the world did not recognize or receive the light when He came. Drawing on 2 Corinthians 4:4 and Luke 4:17-18, the message explains spiritual blindness and why proximity to the light does not equal saving faith. Only in Jesus, the true light, is salvation and eternal life found.God Provides for Salvation Through the Work of Jesus (vv. 12-13) The sermon reaches its climax with the glorious truth that God gives the right to become children of God to all who receive and believe in Jesus. Pastor Ben carefully unpacks verse 13's three negative statements—denying salvation by blood, by the will of the flesh, or by the will of man—followed by the definitive declaration: salvation is "of God" alone. This section powerfully demonstrates that regeneration and saving faith come by God's sovereign authority and power, not human effort or religious achievement.Key Theological Themes:- Salvation by grace alone through faith alone- The role of John the Baptist as witness- Jesus as the true light and full revelation of God- Spiritual blindness and the need for divine intervention- God's sovereignty in salvation and election- The new birth as a work of God's power- The danger of substituting human effort for genuine faithMemorable Illustration: Pastor Ben concludes with a compelling historical illustration from Napoleon's 1812 invasion of Russia, where the French army's tin buttons—a cheap substitute for authentic materials—disintegrated in the brutal cold, leaving soldiers exposed to deadly temperatures. This vivid analogy powerfully demonstrates how substitutes for genuine, God-given faith may appear sufficient temporarily but will ultimately fail under the weight of eternity.Who Should Listen: This sermon is essential for anyone seeking to understand the biblical doctrine of salvation, the nature of saving faith, and God's sovereign grace. It's particularly valuable for those struggling with assurance of salvation, anyone tempted to rely on religious performance or heritage, and believers who need to be reminded that salvation is God's work from beginning to end. Perfect for personal devotion, small group discussion, or theological study.Scripture References Include: John 1:6-13, Genesis 3:15, Genesis 12, 2 Samuel 7, Luke 16:16, Isaiah 61:1-2, Luke 4:17-18, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Isaiah 9:2, Ephesians 1:4, 2 Timothy 1:9, John 6:37, Romans 3:23Whether you're a new Christian or a seasoned believer, this message will deepen your understanding of God's gracious provision for salvation and strengthen your confidence that salvation rests entirely on God's faithful work, not your own efforts.

Die aktuellen Automobilkurznachrichten mit Michael Weyland  Thema heute:  Driving in a Winter Wonderland: Die fünf schönsten Winterrouten in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz Mummelsee, Schwarzwald_(c) AdobeStock_278605130 Wenn sich Alpen und Mittelgebirge in ein glitzerndes Winterkleid hüllen, bieten zahlreiche Panoramastraßen in der DACH-Region unvergessliche Erlebnisse für Natur- und Wintersportfans. Die Abkürzung Dach steht übrigens für Deutschland, Österreich und die Schweiz. Diese Routen, von denen der Mietwagen-Anbieter Sunny Cars einige vorstellt, verbinden spektakuläre Ausblicke, historische und kulturelle Highlights sowie vielfältige Winteraktivitäten. Wintermärchen auf der Schwarzwaldhochstraße (Deutschland) Der eine oder andere von Ihnen ist mit Sicherheit schon einmal über die rund 60 Kilometer lange Schwarzwaldhochstraße zwischen Baden-Baden und Freudenstadt gefahren. Im Winter bietet sie ein besonders eindrucksvolles Naturschauspiel: verschneite Wälder, klare Bergluft und weite Ausblicke über das Rheintal. Die traditionsreiche Route, die bereits 1930 entstand, verbindet den Ort Bühlerhöhe, den Mummelsee, den Mehliskopf und das Naturschutzzentrum Ruhestein. Und für Wintersportfans finden sich jede Menge gespurte Loipen, Ski- und Snowboardpisten und vieles mehr. Atemberaubend ist auch der Rundblick vom Aussichtsturm auf dem Mehliskopf. Entlang der Strecke warten noch jede Menge anderer Highlights auf Reisende: ein historisches Kloster, die Allerheiligen-Wasserfälle und der größte Marktplatz in Deutschland in Freudenstadt.    Sunset Photography at Dobratsch , Austria - Carinthia - Villach_(c) AdobeStock_481602490 Alpenblicke und lokale Spezialitäten genießen auf der Villacher Alpenstraße (Österreich) Das A in Dach steht für Austria, also für Österreich. Hier empfiehlt man bei Sunny Cars die 16,5 Kilometer lange Villacher Alpenstraße mit sanften Kurven und sieben Kehren von der Draustadt hinauf auf den Dobratsch, den Hausberg Villachs. Von hier aus eröffnen sich beeindruckende Panoramen: der Dreiländerblick reicht bis zu den Julischen Alpen in Italien und Slowenien sowie zu den Karawanken in Kärnten. Ganterbrücke, Simplonpass, Schweiz_(c) AdobeStock_198906425 Geschichte und Panorama auf dem Simplonpass (Schweiz) Zum Dach fehlt nun noch das CH für die Schweiz!  Und die erleben wir mit dem Simplonpass, der auf rund 2.000 Metern Höhe das Walliser Rhonetal bei Brig mit dem italienischen Domodossola verbindet – eine der traditionsreichsten Alpenverbindungen der Schweiz. Bereits im Mittelalter als Saumweg genutzt und später unter Napoleon zur strategischen Passstraße ausgebaut, zählt die Route heute zu den faszinierendsten Alpenstraßen Europas. Natürlich können Sie diese Strecke mit ihrem eigenen Wagen erkunden. Sunny Cars hat aber sicherlich nichts dagegen, wenn Sie ihr Privatfahrzeug zuhause lassen und die Strecken mit einem für Winterrouten geeigneten Fahrzeug des Mietwagenanbieters unter die Räder nehmen.

The key at this point is Talleyrand is getting ready to leave Napoleon and enter into a form of opposition against him, because he sees Napoleon as a danger to France , as a danger to Europe, and as a man about to fall and fail, reach exceeds grasp.  But political opponents of Napoleon either end up dead or locked up at a chateau in Vincennes.  And Talleyrand tries to thread the needle to avoid those fates.From the year 1807, Talleyrand did all in his power to thwart Napoleon's ambitions and to hasten his downfall.  It is the turning point in the history of the Empire.  He was convinced that for the good of France and for the good of Europe, the power of Napoleon had to be destroyed. 

The brain acts in strange ways during wartime. Even in active combat situations, when soldiers are one mistake away from death, many can’t fire on their enemies because their brain is triggering compassion centers against other soldiers. Studies of World War II show that while soldiers were willing to risk death, only 15% to 20% fired their weapons in intense combat, indicating a reluctance to kill. That’s why successful military leaders were able to motivate their soldiers with ideas of unfairness and justice, that their enemies weren’t human to make them better at fighting and killing. All this goes to show that if you want to understand war, you have to understand how the brain makes sense of it. Does war make all of us retreat to our lizard brain and act on pure instinct – so the only way to win is pumping out manipulative propaganda to the masses and use modern technologies like AI and social media exploit the brain's cognitive vulnerabilities? Well, many nations like Russia and China are already using these to their advantage. Or can we bring higher thinking to the matter? Is a researcher like Robert Sapolsky right when he argues that we can stop wars by persuading enough people that it is bad and pointless. Today’s guest is Nicholas Wright, author of “Warhead: How the Brain Shapes War and War Shapes the Brain.” He’s a neuroscientist and advisor to the Pentagon. We explore how our brains respond under pressure and how these instincts can shape everything from battlefield outcomes to boardroom decisions. He argues that while conflict is inevitable, it’s not unmanageable - if we understand how the brain drives fear, trust, aggression, and judgment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Goethe's novel, The Sorrows of Young Werther, was Napoleon Bonaparte's favorite novel. In recent years it has become the subject of memes, and the "sensitive young man" archetype. How are we to understand this puzzling development? What is the connection between the Caesarist strongman and the hopeless lover? In this episode, we'll consider the historical background of the work: its inspiration in the story of Karl Wilhelm Jerusalem, the "fever" that swept Europe following its publication, and its controversies. We'll analyze the novel and try to understand Goethe's character as something more than simply a victim of unrequited love. And we'll consider Napoleon's meeting with Goethe and their conversation about the story, as well as some of Goethe's comments about it in conversations with Eckermann.

How the mind blinds us to reality by showing us what we want to believe. We don't see with our eyes; we see with our stories. In 1951, psychologists proved that fans from opposing teams physically saw different fouls during the same game. This is the power and danger of perception. It is the tension between what is real and what we believe is possible. When a doctor gives a patient a placebo, the patient heals not because of medicine, but because of the story of the medicine. In this episode, we explore the cognitive biases that shape our culture and our work. From the "Baader-Meinhof" phenomenon to the tragedy of Napoleon's retreat, we examine how our perceptions limit our possibilities. Actionable Takeaways: Change the narrative: Use the Placebo Effect to create positive outcomes through the power of expectation. See the system: Recognize how the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon highlights opportunities you previously ignored. Reframing value: Use the Contrast Effect to understand how relative comparison dictates the worth of your work. Go make a ruckus by changing how you choose to see the world around you. SPONSORS

How much self-harm can a race of people inflict upon themselves? Tonight, December 8, 2025, the day after the anniversary of Pearl Harbor, we consider some of the worst examples, America’s instant about-face and entry into World War II on Dec. 8, 1941 being one. Another such bout of insanity was inflicted upon our people by Napoleon in 1812, when on his sole command the largest army ever assembled to that point, 600,00 Europeans was roasted in the summer, then frozen in the winter, and reduced to 100,000 survivors by the time they reached a scorched earth Moscow. As Napoleon himself raced back to Paris, those 100,000 were slaughtered to near zero as they fought their way back. What in our European makeup has rendered us capable of innumerable such acts of insanity?

For nearly two centuries, international relations have been premised on the idea of the "Great Powers." As the thinking went, these mighty states—the European empires of the nineteenth century, the United States and the USSR during the Cold War—were uniquely able to exert their influence on the world stage because of their overwhelming military capabilities. But this conception of power fails to capture the more complicated truth about how wars are fought and won.  Our focus on the importance of large, well-equipped armies and conclusive battles has obscured the foundational forces that underlie military victories and the actual mechanics of successful warfare. Phillips O'Brien suggests a new framework of "full-spectrum powers," taking into account all of the diverse factors that make a state strong—from economic and technological might, to political stability, to the complex logistics needed to maintain forces in the field.  Drawing on examples ranging from Napoleon's France to today's ascendant China, he offers a critical new understanding of what makes a power truly great. Phillips Payson O'Brien is a professor of strategic studies and head of the School of International Relations at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. He is the author of six books, including his latest War and Power: Who Wins Wars—and Why.

A conversation with Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger, Professor Emerita of Early Modern History at the University of Munster and Rector of the Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin. Germany is becoming increasingly important to this podcast, which is why we're digging into another aspect of this fascinating part of Europe. Dualism and dissolution; between fealty and federation; the unravelling of the Holy Roman Empire and a tumultuous period. All setting the stage for Napoleon Bonaparte...This discussion:- Explores the complexities and contradictions of the Holy Roman Empire in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, including its structure, political dynamics, and the concept of legitimacy.- Discusses the dualism and rivalry between Austria and Prussia, and how their ambitions and actions contributed to the fragmentation and eventual dissolution of the Empire.- Examines the significance of symbolism, rituals, and ceremonies in sustaining imperial power—and the ways these traditional forms were both maintained and undermined in practice.- Looks at cultural and intellectual responses to the era's upheavals, including the reactions of figures like Goethe, Schiller, and Hegel to the French Revolution and emerging German nationalism.- Considers the impact of Napoleon and the mediatisation of the Empire, questioning whether Napoleon was the executioner of the Holy Roman Empire or if its internal weaknesses had already sealed its fate.Help us produce more episodes by supporting the Napoleonic Quarterly on Patreon: patreon.com/napoleonicquarterly

Keiner hätte gedacht, dass so einer mal Kaiser werden könnte: Napoleon Bonaparte, geboren als Sohn eines kleinen Adeligen auf der Insel Korsika. Doch er beißt sich durch und steht lange auf der Gewinnerseite. 1804 lässt er sich zum Kaiser der Franzosen krönen. Doch so kometenhaft sein Aufstieg ist, so tief ist Napoleons Fall. Von Klaus Uhrig (BR 2012)

Trump's use of his pardon power is downright crazy, and that's not even counting his rescue of a convicted drug kingpin. He's also sabotaging his own redistricting plans in Texas by pardoning Rep. Henry Cuellar, and wasting taxpayer money absolving a sports executive who was indicted by his own Justice Department earlier this year. Meanwhile, down in NOLA, two men with a Napoleon complex are unleashing misery of the psychic and economic kind on the city through its ICE and Border Patrol operation. Plus, someone needs to scour the immigration history of Phil Mickelson's family, and why is Tucker so obsessed with the gays? Sam Stein joins Tim Miller.

Ah, Napoleon. Old Boney. Roll'n'Bones. The Bone Zone. The guy's got a lot of nicknames, and even more board games! The latest, and one of the most intriguing, is Battlefields of the Napoleonic Wars, codesigned by Paolo Mori and Alessandro Zucchini. Today on the Space-Cast!, we dive into the creation of this approachable hex-and-counter title, including its creators' aversion to combat results tables, their choice of battles, and why they decided to publish under their own label. 

Patrick is launching a new podcast! You can listen to the very first episode here. ---- Most of the history we're taught revolves around "Great Men," the Napoleons and Alexander the Greats of the world, but they're hardly typical of the human experience. History actually revolves around advisors, merchants, laborers, farmers, and slaves, the common clay of humanity and the raw material for any good story of our shared past.

Last episode Talleyrand barely escapes France ahead of a death sentence.  Then the British decide he might be a spy, well he might have been an excellent spy, though we know he was not a spy.He went to America, George Washington refuses to see him, but Alexander Hamilton welcomes him.By the end Talleyrand has decided to play the dangerous game of going into opposition against Napoleon.This episode follows Talleyrand from his exile to his return and rise to power in the Directory.  Talleyrand's role in Napoleon's rise to power is essential.  In some ways Napoleon was Talleyrand's creation and Talleyrand became Napoleon's favorite mentor, when he was still Flexible enough to learn from others.We cover Talleyrand's thinking and writing through the events of the Consulship and the early days of the Empire.  Then comes the Crisis after Tilsit.  When Napoleon goes full nepotism, never go full nepotism, and plans to tke Denmark, Portugal and Spain.  Talleyrand perceives that Napoleon is no longer aligned with France's interests.  He goes into opposition and begins to play a truly dangerous game.

On today's episode we talk about what is often called the last invasion of mainland Britain - a disastrous and almost farcical series of blunders that ended in abject disaster. But what if it didn't?

This week on Wild on 7th, the podfathers sit down with fan-favorite, Jake Middleton, for a wide-open, laugh-heavy conversation that hits everything from the team's recent on-ice surge to the unexpected chaos happening off it. Jake walks us through the origin story of the “Redwood Hat” that's suddenly become the must-have item in the locker room and how it's turned into the squad's unofficial badge of honor. He also talks about settling into his new life in the suburbs—complete with an electric snow blower and one tiny shovel—and gives us a peek into day-to-day neighborly living as a Minnesota Wild defenseman. Door dash, burgers, and Bunny's, and of course, no episode would be complete without a little behind-the-scenes team lore, including how Zuccarello might actually be Napoleon.  Cool and collected leadership, all around the room.  It's one of the season's funniest and most genuine conversations—don't miss it.

Washington burns. The White House is in flames. But from the smoke and ashes, a nation discovers what it means to be American.The War of 1812's darkest hour became its defining triumph. As British veterans fresh from defeating Napoleon torched the capital, as rockets rained on Fort McHenry, as peace was signed but war raged on, Americans transformed humiliation into legend.Join us for the explosive conclusion of our two-part series on the War of 1812. In this second installment, we witness Perry's amazing victory on Lake Erie, the death of the great Tecumseh, the night America's capital burned to the ground, and Andrew Jackson's stunning victory at New Orleans - a battle that remade American identity, fought two weeks after the war had already ended.

In the time in which Clausewitz wrote "On War", going on the offensive involved no small amount of risk. Between the rise of dominance in the field of artillery and new and brutal ways of preparing a killing field, going on the attack meant being vulnerable to all matter of calamity. As a result, his analysis of offensive variations stresses the need for boldness and prudence in equal measure. There are many reasons to mount an attack, from the wholesale destruction of our opponents to the acquisition of secondary objectives, each of them having their own hazards and considerations for success. Yaga Malark delves into this simple yet complicated subject to bring you the best methods for offensive variations.

This week, Shat The Movies tumbles through the space-time continuum with Terry Gilliam's Time Bandits, a chaotic fantasy adventure filled with Monty Python humor, mischievous dwarves, and a cosmic battle between Good, Evil, and negligent parenting. Commissioned by listener Mark, this 1981 classic follows young Kevin as he's swept away by a crew of dimension-hopping bandits who've stolen a map of the universe and are using it to rob history blind—Napoleon, Robin Hood, and ancient kings all included. Gene and Big D debate whether the film is a brilliant kids' movie for adults or an unsettling fever dream wrapped in British absurdism. Along the way, they revisit the unforgettable Evil Genius, the Supreme Being's bureaucratic disappointment, and the ending that scarred an entire generation of children. Is Time Bandits a masterpiece of imagination or just Gilliam letting chaos do the directing? Grab your map, avoid the pure concentrated evil, and find out.

Pre-WWII US exercises, influenced by Patton and his peers, successfully showcased armored warfare. Patton was eccentric, boring audiences with detailed lectures on Roman generals and claiming to be the reincarnation of Napoleon, which disconnected him from his troops. Montgomery, leading the Third Division, trained his men endlessly and formed a cohesive team before the Dunkirk evacuation, seeing the retreat as a challenge to rebuild. Rommel was given command of the 7th Panzer Division in 1940 and, due to his aggressive success, became known as the commander of the "phantom division," celebrated by Nazi propaganda.
