In this episode, we discuss Stalag 17 and try to avoid comparing it too much to The Great Escape. Also, its’ a Christmas movie. Merry Christmas!
We discuss the life and accomplishments of Violette Szabo, a British agent with the SOE, through the movie Carve Her Name With Pride and the book Violette Szabo: The Life I That I Have. Does a 1958 movie still hold water?
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?
We discuss 8-10 of Band of Brothers. And we’re a little tired. Big Nix Energy.
In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we break down the final season of X Company, the gripping Canadian WWII spy series set at Camp X. We discuss what worked, what felt rushed, and what made us yell “girl, no, don’t kiss that Nazi!”
Season 3 brings heavy losses, moral complexity, and a too early farewell to our favourite Canadian covert operatives. From Krystina’s subterfuge, Faber’s redemption arc, to how the show handles antisemitism, resistance, and trauma without easy answers.
Bye, X Company. Gone too soon.
