Ep 62 – X Company Season 3 – Closing Up Camp X

Share

Description

If you haven’t listened to our episode about X Company Season 1 yet, do that first. And listen to the episode about season 2.

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.

Ep 57 – A Call to Spy – Women of the SOE in Focus

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss the 2019 historical drama A Call to Spy, which follows the real-life wartime missions of Virginia Hall, Noor Inayat Khan, and Vera Atkins — three extraordinary women recruited into Churchill’s Special Operations Executive during WWII.
We explore what the film gets right, where it fictionalises, and how the true stories behind these women are even more astonishing than what made it to the screen. We also reflect on why telling these stories now matters more than ever, as the generation that witnessed them is rapidly disappearing.

Ep 65 – Ballad of a Soldier – The Sweetest Russian War Movie You’ve Never Seen

In this episode of Rosie the Reviewer, we discuss the beautiful Ballad of a Soldier (1959), a Soviet-era WWII film that might just be the gentlest war movie we’ve ever seen. The film follows a young soldier named Alyosha as he travels across Russia to visit his mother on furlough. Along the way, he meets the love of his life. Not a very outspoken war movie, but a gentle story with sincere performances from main cast and supporting actors.
