The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc was...big in France? Actually, The Messenger was indeed touted as "Oscar bait" prior to its release in November of 1999. Luc Besson was fresh off of his most commercially successful hit The Fifth Element, and so reteaming with Fifth Element star Milla Jovovich (who at the time was married to Besson) for a big, epic, gritty retelling of the Joan of Arc story seemed like a sure thing. Add in star power from John Malkovich, Dustin Hoffman, and how could you go wrong? Well, The Messenger goes wrong a lot of ways. But it's also not the abysmal disaster some people seem to remember. The Messenger, for all its faults, tries to do something different with the well-worn Joan of Arc story, and it has a lot to recommend it (just maybe not its run-time). This week, Our Fake History host Sebastian Major, who covered Joan in his podcast's first season, joins John and Joey to share his thoughts on the award-winning epic that wasn't.

Hacker hasn't always been used to describe dangerous computer experts will ill intent. More accurately it should be sued to describe those enamored with computers, programming, and trying to push machines to do interesting things. The values, ethics, morals, and practices around those people make up what's known as hacker culture. Today we are digging into the Jargon File, a compendium of all things hackish and hackable, to take a look at hacker culture through its folklore.

What if Queen Elizabeth had been a man? We dive into this bizarre idea in today's showcase episode, courtesy of Sebastian Major of Our Fake History. Our Fake History is a podcast that explores myths people think are history and history that might be hidden in myths. At the heart of today's episode is gender: the idea that maybe Queen Elizabeth was really a man. Now, is that preposterous? Yeah, probably. Deliciously preposterous. But what's great about it is what it teaches us along the way: we'll learn about the struggles Elizabeth faced as a woman, the sexism of her age and the centuries after when this theory was being bandied about.
