| 5/9/26 | Top Dog, Week 1 - Firebrand (2023) | Episode 134 - Pack your bags, we are headed to England during the reign of King Henry the 8th. Why? Because it's Top Dog month, and for the next 5 weeks we will be exploring authoritarian rulers and struggles within government. And boy does this week start off with a bang. The discussion gets "fiery" for the film Firebrand (2023). Firebrand is a historical fiction film set during the reign of King Henry VII and his marriage to Catherine. There is some heated debate about how historical this fiction is and the issues within the historical fiction genre in general. If that type of debate sounds appealing to you then you must tune in for this one.And tune in next week as we watch and discuss Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator (1940).And email us at mracfilmclub@gmail.com | — | ||||||
