Ep 101 – The Swedish Connection – Can Paperwork Save Lives in WWII?

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss recent Netflix hit The Swedish Connection (2026), based on the true story of Swedish diplomat Gösta Engzell, who helped rescue Jewish people during World War II using the power of paperwork.
We also dive down the rabbit hole of a much smaller character in the film, but a real badass dude in real life: Raoul Wallenberg. (Can someone please make a movie about him, thanks?)

Ep 98 – Land of Mine – Demining Denmark, 1945

This week on Rosie the Reviewer, we’re heading to the beaches of postwar Denmark with Land of Mine (2015), a Danish film about a young German POW crew tasked with clearing a mine-affected beach and the Danish sergeant who oversees the process. It’s tense, visually striking, and explores trauma, anger, humanity and innocence. A movie about what comes after.

Rosie the Reviewer A Bridge Too Far

Ep 81 – A Bridge Too Far – Operation Market Garden Discussed at Length

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we take on Richard Attenborough’s A Bridge Too Far (1977), the war epic based on Cornelius Ryan’s book of the same name about Operation Market Garden. We take you through one of WWII’s most ambitious (and doomed-to-fail) military plans as we discuss the film. From Sean Connery’s Major General Urquhart to Gene Hackman’s Sosabowski (we approve), we talk about what led to Market Garden’s failure, and how Dutch civilians like Kate ter Horst were astoundingly brave in the face of absolute hell.

Market Garden, a little complicated? We try to make it simple for you!
