The castle at Shipbrook near Davenham is long lost to us today, its last traces being cleared from the land in the 1790s. However, in balancing the brutal events of early Norman England together with the history of a key local family, not only can we better appreciate this often overlooked corner of medieval Cheshire, but perhaps for the first time, look to understand the story of Shipbrook Castle and its ties to a bloody revolt against King Henry IV.Mythstoric Journeys, the hardback anthology collection from Eli, is available here!Visit thelocalmythstorian.com

Welcome all, and to our fellow Americans, Happy Thanksgiving! It's become a tradition here at Planet 8 for us to celebrate and be thankful for some genre-related franchise, and in the past, we've been thankful for Star Trek, Star Wars, and James Bond. This year, we are expressing our love and gratitude for the magnificent Marvel Cinematic Universe -the MCU! Now with 26 films and climbing, not to mention the MCU TV series, we've been blessed with a bountiful collection of films that created a rich, complex, and deeply rewarding experience for the viewers. We'll have a conversation about our early experience with the MCU, when we first started hearing about Marvel making an Iron Man film, what we thought of it and how Marvel blew us away with that and the succeeding films. Casting has been a big key to making the films successful, and we'll talk about our favorite castings and the ones we thought might have been crazy, but actually worked out really well. Of course, no discussion of the MCU would be complete without going around and talking about which Marvel movies are our favorites! With so many to choose from now, it's getting harder to pick, but we do come up with a few. Amazingly, there are few MCU films that we don't like. There may be a few that we like less...but somehow they have kept a high level of quality through the series.The crew also talks a bit about the latest MCU film, The Eternals, so if you haven't seen that film yet, be warned! And we can't neglect all the activity on Disney Plus - four series so far, and as this episode goes live, the Hawkeye series will be hitting the airwaves in a couple of days! Where else will the Marvel Cinematic Universe go? We can't wait to see.For the Sensor Sweep, Bob shares information about a book by his friend Norman England, Behind the Kaiju Curtain: A Journey onto Japan's Biggest Film Sets. This book is a personal record of Norman's experiences while he wrote for Fangoria and was able to visit the sets of a number of kaiju films in a professional capacity. He met many of the actors and crew on the films and the book gives you an intimate look at what went on in the Japanese film industry in the 90s. If you like kaiju films, this is a must-read! Ask for it at your local bookseller, or get it at Amazon or Barnes & Noble. That's all for us this time. Listeners, we are also thankful for you! We appreciate you listening to us, commenting, subscribing, contacting us on Twitter and Facebook. It's great to feel a sense of community forming around Planet 8. We hope that you and yours are safe and well.Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastAvengers Assemble!!
What can castle Acre tell us about the influence of the Cluniac Order on England? Who were the Cluniacs? And how did the complicated relationships between powerful individual men in this period impact on the revival of monasticism in England? How did monasteries impact on the political, economic and social fabric of this new, Norman state? Buckle in, because it's a long one as we look at the site study for the 2021 exam and dig into the birth and development of Castle Acre Priory.
The Historic Site Study for 2021 is Castle Acre Priory; but you can't understand why Castle Acre is so important without the context of monastisicm in Norman england. What is a monastery? Who do monks do? The next episode will dig deeply into Castle Acre and how it links to the rest of Norman England.

Friday, 4 December 2020, 4 – 5pm The Kemble Lecture 2020 will be delivered by Prof. Clare Lees (University of London). The event is sponsored by the School of English and hosted in partnership with Trinity Long Room Hub. This annual lecture series in honour of John Mitchell Kemble, begun in 2005, invites distinguished scholars to speak on topics associated with Kemble: the history, literature, and archaeology of pre-Norman England, and its later reception, especially in the 19th century. This year we are delighted to welcome Prof. Clare Lees, Professor of Medieval Literature, Director of the Institute of English Studies, and Pro-Dean for National Research Promotion & Facilitation, School of Advanced Study, University of London. Prof. Lees's research interests include early medieval literatures, languages, and cultures of Britain and Ireland, gender and sexuality studies, and histories of place and belief. Her most recent work explores how modern and contemporary poets, writers, and artists engage with early medieval cultures. Recent major publications include The Contemporary Medieval in Practice, with Gillian R. Overing (London: UCL Press, 2019), and The Cambridge History of Early Medieval English Literature, ed. Lees (Cambridge: University of Cambridge Press, 2013; paperback 2016).
1066 is regarded as a watershed moment when all of life in England changed. How far is this accurate? In this episode we look at the various ways that life changed in Norman England - and the ways in which is changed.
Byrd, Matt and Tom review Norman England's 2006 science fiction film, the iDol! This film features a lot of tokusatsu veterans both in front of and behind the camera. The film follows Ken, a toy collector who quite literally ends up being controlled by his hobby. We'll get into the film's commentary on collector culture in fandom, the new blu-ray release from SRS Cinema and more!
Byrd and Matt welcome Norman England back to the podcast, this time to reflect on his directorial debut film, 2006's the iDol! The iDol is an independent Japanese science fiction film that features plenty of prolific tokusatsu veterans both in front of and behind the camera and is just now finding a release in the United States. It tells the story of an obsessive toy collector whose reality is warped when he adds a mysterious alien figure to his collection. Norman tells us all about his memories making the film including the script, the casting process, working with such genre veterans as Kiyotaka Taguchi, Takashi Yamazaki, Takako Fuji, Ko Otani, Bob Eggleton, Yukijiro Hotaru, and more! We also talk about the toy collecting culture and how its changed over the years, the importance of a good run time, and its recent USA blu-ray release from SRS Cinema! The iDol can be ordered here: http://srscinema.com/home/?p=2301
This is our bumepr episode on the Tower of London, the White Tower. William I's residence, symbol of power, refuge of last resort... why was it built? How did it function? How does it fit in with other castles built across England? Why was it white? This is key episode for the 2021 exam as there will be a 16 mark essay question on this.
Episode 2 of our History series covers the GCSE topic Crime & Punishment. This time, in Norman England.
Byrd and Matt are joined by Ron Bonk of home video label SRS Cinema to talk about their history and recent kaiju film releases. SRS has been an established video label for obscure independent genre films for years and just recently they have dipped their toes in the world of tokusatsu/kaiju with the Reigo/Raiga Trilogy, Attack of the Giant Teacher, and their upcoming release of Norman England's film the iDol. We talk to Ron about the origins of SRS, his work as a director, his love of horror, SRS' recent line of kaiju home video releases, and much more. Relax and join the conversation!

On July 12, 2019 at G-Fest, Steve Ryfle and Ed Godziszewski held a retrospective panel on Bringing Godzilla Down to Size, the documentary feature film that they wrote and produced for Classic Media.

Thanks to Ed and Steve for letting us share this and to Christopher Marti for recording the audio.
This is the tenth episode from Ye Newe Dallam History Podcast and it is WOKE. GCSE today but why not reminisce about old times and revisit Norman England with us? Gribbin and Howarth talk you through one of the best rebellions against William (that didn't take place round here) and just about remember to mention the witch! They will also lead you (like a Norman solider) through the tricky two features question to ensure you get four marks. Along the way there will always be games and jokes but mainly this is serious history. Well as serious as we get! Follow the GCSE History page on Sharepoint and follow @MrHowarth on twitter!

In this episode Radrey talks with longtime friend and filmmaker Norman England. As with most episodes, the guest introduces themselves and what they do and how it is/what it was that brought them to Japan. In this discourse, we talk about how Norman's first non-English teaching gig came about because he loved the movie Dawn of the Dead. Then we talk about interviewing George A. Romero, modern fandom, writing for Japanese film magazine Eiga Hiho, why Japanese films are so terrible, what his lifestyle in Japan is like, and finally Radrey asks for advice on how to give good interviews.

Our second episode focuses on 1066. Does it deserve to be one of those dates that we always remember? Did things really change that much under William I? We cover economics, the church, establishing control, changes in the north v south, the harrying of the north. We hope you enjoy the history teacher podcast. Mr A Otway
In this episode we return to our narrative though not to the Crusades. We will head back to the year 1095 when the First Crusade was launched and set about catching the rest of Europe back up to speed. Then, we spend the bulk of the second half of the episode tackling Norman England. The realm of William the Conqueror is once again fractured by civil war and it is going to take Geoffrey Plantagenet and his son, the future King Henry II, to put it all back together again. (Years: 1095-1154)
Matt and Eric visit with Norman England after-hours at the Monroeville Mall
Byrd and Matt present a very special audio commentary track for Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All Out Attack (2001) with director/writer/photographer Norman England! Norman was on the set of the film nearly every day taking photos and is here to tell us all about it. Listen as Norman tells us all about his memories of the set, the cast and crew, director Shusuke Kaneko and more! This commentary is full of behind the scenes stories and fun trivia. Cue up your copy of this kaiju classic (or just listen) and enjoy the discussion!
From the first appearance of the original spud warrior in Norman England through to the "freakishly tall" Sontaran duo in Seville, Spain, Ben and David talk about Sontarans in classic Doctor Who. What make them good monsters for children? When do they work and when do they fall, ahem, short? All this in more in this week's episode. Opening music is from "The Invasion of Time" score by Dudley Simpson. Closing music is from "The Two Doctors" score by Peter Howell.
Byrd and Matt welcome back very special guest, Norman England! Many people people know Norman's work as a journalist, photographer, critic, and director, but he also lends his hand to translations quite often. The most crucial thing about watching and understanding any foreign language film is a good translation and Norman has quite a few subtitling credits under his belt (he also teaches classes on the subject). We were able to spend time with Norman to discuss the ins and outs of film translating and the subtitling business. What makes for good subtitles? What kind of liberties are taken in translating dialogue? What gets lost in the translation process? Norman answers these questions and shares his experiences to give us tons of insight into one of the most crucial, yet overlooked aspects of the foreign film business. Relax and enjoy the conversation!
Peter Leeson of George Mason University joins the podcast today to discuss his latest book, WTF?!: An Economic Tour of the Weird. We discuss the economic reasoning behind some of history's strangest practices: ordeals that were used to determine innocence or guilt in medieval Europe, trials by battle that were used to settle land disputes in Norman England, wife auctions that happened during the Industrial Revolution, and the criminal prosecution of insects and rodents by ecclesiastical courts in Renaissance Italy. Also check out Peter's previous book, The Invisible Hook, about the economics of pirates. You won't regret it!
Cathedrals were an important part of the organisation and structure of the Church, and Durham Cathedral was the one that established the pattern for all other Norman Cathedrals. This episode will prepare you for the 16-mark Historic Site question on Paper 2.
1066 is seen as a cataclysmic event, a moment that changed England forever: but how much actually changed for the peasant in the field? This summary episode looks at all the aspects of Norman England we've discussed so far and considers how life chnaged in the Norman period and, perhaps more importantly, for who.
The Domesday book paints a picture of the grown of towns in the Norman period; over 200 hundred of them in the reign of William alone. Why did towns grow - and perhaps more importantly, how did they grow?
How did religion change under the Normans? When William of Normandy asked for the Pope's blessing to invade England, he promised to reform the corrupt church in England. Was it corrupt? And how far did he stick to this promise? All will be revealed in this episode...
For the second part of our interview, director/writer/critic/translator/photographer Norman England tells us all about the art of subtitling, working with Takashi Miike on the film Yakuza Apocalypse, his time working with Sushi Typhoon, being an American film critic in Japan, Japan's treatment of foreigners, the Japanese film industry, why he isn't currently directing another film, and the amount of effort that goes into making a movie. We also touch on Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, and the time Norman found a rare Son of Godzilla poster tacked to a wall in the middle of nowhere!
What changes in the legal system did the Normans make? This whistlestop tour takes in language, forest law and legal principles before stopping off for some good old fashioned death and mutliation when we look at trial by ordeal and consider the role of God in determining guilt or innocence.
Kaiju Transmissions welcomes its first Guest of Honor by welcoming (all the way from Japan!) writer/director/critic/translator/photographer Norman England to the show! As many fans know, Norman wasn't only the director of the Bringing Godzilla Down To Size documentary, but he's also spent MANY hours on Japanese film sets, including Gamera 3 and many of the Godzilla films (in addition to countless other Japanese genre films). In this first part of a two part interview, Norman shares many stories from his 100+ days working with the Toho crews, as well as his experience making what is arguably the definitive Godzilla documentary. In addition to that Norman also tells us about several books he's working on, nationalism, his thoughts on Shin Godzilla, and misconceptions that fans have about Japan. But first, we discuss Norman's inexplicable love of Howard the Duck and what it was like seeing movies in the torn down grindhouse theaters of 42nd Street in New York City back in the 80s.
What was it like to be a peasant in Norman England? How was your day organised, what sort of work would you do throughout the year and what did the village actually look like? The book referenced in the episiode is this one: https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-year-1000/robert-lacey/danny-danziger/9780349113067 You can find it cheaper on ebay and Abe Books.
In this episode we cover the basics of landholding and lordship. How was Norman society organised? How did homage, scutage and subinfeudination keep the system running? What was fiscal feudalism and who were the Marcher Lords?
Oh boy, I have been sitting on this interview for WAY too long. Episode #63 unearths the interview I did with Norman England in Tokyo back in October of 2011. Apologies to all (including and especially Norman) for the delay, but here it is. We do talk a little about Godzilla in general terms, but […]
