Previous Episode: Marie Antoinette (2006)

This week, Alice and returning guest Nicole Cochrane watched That Hamilton Woman, a weird Second World War propaganda film dressed up as romantic biography of Emma Hamilton. We talked about trying to make Nelson sexy, Stalin (?!), and the Maligned Women of the (17)90s. Vivien Leigh is so pretty.


Historical Friction is a podcast about storytelling, pop culture, the past, and why we reenact it.
