Ep 12 – Tora! Tora! Tora! – A Deep Dive into Pearl Harbor from American and Japanese Perspectives
We discuss the 1970 film Tora! Tora! Tora! about the attack on Pearl Harbor just to see how much Michael Bay ‘borrowed’ from it. Kidding! We giggle over the Star-Spangled Banner played at 8 times the speed. Kidding! This might be the most accurate film about WW2 events ever made.
Ep 6 – Pearl Harbor – A Nostalgia Watch with a Critical Eye on Historical Accuracy

Sam about The Battle of Midway by Craig L. Symonds:
“I really liked the book. It’s a seminal work on the Battle of Midway. I listened to an interview with the author as well, and one of the things I enjoyed is that he argues for the things he thinks are true about the battle. It was well written, it held my interest, and I learned a lot. I only knew the broad strokes before, and this really put it together for me in a helpful way.”
