Welcome to Rosie the Reviewer, a Dutch-Canadian female-led WW2 media podcast. A new episode airs every Friday!

We discuss episodes 4-7 of Band of Brothers. Maartje goes on a tangent about her grandpa’s WW2 adventures for a bit. Sam wants #JusticeForCobb.
Also listen to part one and part three of this Band of Brothers podcast series.
In this episode, our friend Bec joins us to talk about Fury. Listening to Bec talk about Fury is much better than watching Fury, for the most part.
In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we dive into the explosive first season of X Company — the 2015 Canadian WWII drama about five secret agents trained at Camp X, Canadas’ spy training camp. From high-stakes sabotage in occupied France to moral grey zones and surprise betrayals, we explore what makes this little-known show so gripping. We talk about the character arcs we love, historical accuracy, and the surprisingly brutal tone. Expect fake dating, trauma flashbacks, Nazi hypocrisy, and a that one guy from Schitt’s Creek.
This week we check out a WW2 film classic: Saving Private Ryan! Perhaps the war film to inspire all war films since. Will you finish your drink when they call out the title?
Episode ten is here! In this episode, we discuss the nuances of a Dutch film called The Forgotten Battle (originally titled De Slag Om De Schelde), about the ‘forgotten’ battle for the Scheldt.
This week, we discuss the movie Memphis Belle, a fictionalised tale about the B-17’s final mission. Sam also watched the documentary of the same name. Maartje has only been to RAF Bassingbourn once but pretends she knows stuff now.
