This week Charlie is joined by two special guests, Derrick from Bad Movies Worse People and Capt. Steven from Bucket of Chum podcast. The guys cover Edge of Tomorrow...aka Live Die Repeat, a movie that takes the time-loop premise and straps it into a mech suit. Tom Cruise plays a PR officer with zero combat experience who gets dumped into an invasion against alien invaders called Mimics. He dies (spectacularly) in minutes, then wakes up at the start of the same day....over and over. Each reset, he learns, adapts, and gets a little better. Emily Blunt plays the “Angel of Verdun"....his drill sergeant and guide through the loop. What makes it work is the balance: it's funny, brutal, and genuinely clever about how repetition changes a person. It's Groundhog Day meets Saving Private Ryan with sci-fi technology. The action is tight and the story earns its payoff because failure actually matters. This is definitely one everyone should check out.

Nick Lloyd, author of The Western Front: A History of the Great War, Volume 1: 1914-1918, examines the immense psychological strain placed on early German leadership, specifically Helmuth von Moltke the Younger, who felt crushed by the military legacy of his uncle. Tasked with the ambitious Schlieffen Plan, Moltke's insecurity led him to alter the balance of forces, weakening the critical "swinging door" through Belgium, which ultimately contributed to his nervous breakdown by September 1914. The Kaiser, described as a "weather vane" with a fluctuating personality, remained a distant figurehead rather than a day-to-day commander, often feeling sidelined by his generals. As the war progressed, Erich von Falkenhayn replaced Moltke, introducing a ruthless attritional vision famously realized at the Battle of Verdun, which focused on "killing Frenchmen" rather than territorial gain. This period highlights a fatal German flaw: prioritizing tactical and operational effectiveness over critical political and strategic considerations, an imbalance that hindered translating battlefield success into ultimate victory. (1)

Nick Lloyd characterizes 1916 as a "meat locker," dominated by the twin horrors of Verdun and the Somme. Falkenhayn's strategy at Verdun was a "concentrated experiment in killing," designed to bleed the French army dry through superior artillery rather than territorial gain. This prompted the British and French to launch the Somme offensive to relieve the pressure, leading to a significant tactical dispute between Douglas Haig and Henry Rawlinson. While Haig maintained a traditionalist desire for a "breakthrough" to open maneuver, Rawlinson advocated for a "bite and hold" strategy—systematically smashing enemy lines with artillery and stopping to consolidate. Lloyd argues that in 1916, the British lacked the sophisticated weaponry and know-how for Haig's grand vision, being only capable of the incremental attrition suggested by Rawlinson. This period marked a crucial shift where Germany began a decline from which it never fully recovered. (6)

La pôchouse — the ancient freshwater fish stew of Burgundy and Franche-Comté, made from a specific combination of Saône and Doubs river fish cooked in Burgundy aligoté white wine — is one of the most distinctive and most overlooked dishes in the whole of French regional cooking. Today's Food Tour de France episode finishes in Chalon-sur-Saône — a river city in the Saône-et-Loire, one of the great stretches of Burgundian France — and tells the full story of a dish first documented in writing in 1646, born on the boats and riverbanks of Verdun-sur-le-Doubs where the Saône meets the Doubs, made by the boatmen and fishermen who cooked it in a pot from the morning's catch with the white wine available to them on the Burgundian riverbanks. Celebrated by its own brotherhood since 1949. Still served in the restaurants that line the Saône today. And still made from the same four-fish combination that the pôchoux — the fishermen of the Bresse patois — established on these rivers four centuries ago.The episode covers the full story of la pôchouse — the four-fish combination of lean pike and perch alongside fatty eel and tench that gives the dish its specific character, the aligoté white wine that is both the cooking medium and the drink alongside it, the lardons and croutons that complete the preparation, and the Confrérie des Chevaliers de la Pôchouse de Verdun-sur-le-Doubs founded in 1949 that has been defending and celebrating this dish for over seventy years. We cover the annual festival at Verdun-sur-le-Doubs — the Fête de la Pôchouse, where local restaurants serve it according to ancestral rules, the Confrérie Saint-Nicolas des Radeliers builds a raft on the Petit Doubs, and the dish is eaten without accompaniment as tradition demands. And we connect the pôchouse to the broader family of French river fish stews — including the lamprey à la bordelaise we covered earlier in the series.The Food Tour de France is a daily series running alongside the 2026 Tour de France on Fabulously Delicious — one episode for every stage start and finish. The pôchouse episode connects directly to the lamprey à la bordelaise episode from the Bordeaux stage earlier in the series — both are ancient river fish preparations cooked in wine, both are the food of the boatmen and fishermen of great French waterways, and both tell the story of France's rivers through what they have been feeding their people for centuries.

For almost two years, the war on the Continent had been raging. The Battle of Verdun has already happened, but the real bloodshed had not even started yet, with the Battle of the Somme only a month away.While the European land armies have been fighting on a scale not seen since Napoleon a century earlier, major conflicts at sea were rare in spite of the major belligerents having great and powerful fleets. Like two heavyweight boxers wary of each other, the surface fleets of the Royal Navy and the Kaiserliche Marine stared at each other across the North Sea, throwing a jab here or there, but not committing for a hard fight.Then, in the early morning hours of May 31st, Vice Admiral Franz von Hipper's I Scouting Group got underway from the Jade estuary and headed north.This episode, we are going to look back at the Battle of Jutland with Simon Harley, naval historian, Associate Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and co-editor of The Dreadnought Project online resource.

1916 is one of the most depressing years in human history and today we're covering it. This is the year that makes World War One the horror it is. This is the year of Verdun, of the Somme, and of countless deaths on other fronts.It is also the year everyone starts wondering: will it all be worth it?Support Western Civ

Nick Lloyd. Guest Nick Lloyd delves into the German high command, highlighting the psychological burden on Helmuth von Moltke the Younger, who felt inadequate compared to his famous uncle. Moltke's lack of nerve led him to fatally alter the Schlieffen Plan's right wing, eventually causing his nervous breakdown as the invasion stalled. Lloyd describes Kaiser Wilhelm II as an inconsistent "weather vane" who lacked a day-to-day commanding role, eventually being overshadowed by the rising popularity of Hindenburg and Ludendorff. The narrative then shifts to Erich von Falkenhayn, the Prussian Minister of War who orchestrated the attritional Verdun offensive. Falkenhayn's unique focus on killing the enemy rather than gaining territory reflected a cold, ruthless approach to the "cauldron of war." Lloyd also notes the internal German struggle over unrestricted submarine warfare, where tactical effectiveness often overrode vital diplomatic and strategic considerations, contributing to Germany's failure to translate battlefield success into a lasting strategic victory. 21914

Nick Lloyd. Guest Nick Lloyd analyzes the "twinned" horrors of 1916: Verdun and the Somme. He explains Falkenhayn's ruthless strategy at Verdun, which was designed purely to "bleed the French white" through industrial-scale killing. In response, the British launched the Somme offensive to relieve the pressure, leading to a famous strategic dispute between Douglas Haig's desire for a breakthrough and Henry Rawlinson's more cautious "bite and hold" tactics. Lloyd argues that in 1916, the British were only truly capable of Rawlinson's incremental approach due to limited technology and training. The summary also touches on the disastrous 1917 Nivelle Offensive, which promised a "formula" for victory but instead led to widespread exhaustion and mutiny within the French army. This period represents one of the darkest chapters for the Allies, where they came close to losing the war, making the eventual arrival of the Americans and the coordination of Ferdinand Foch absolutely vital. 71917
