Hollywood Hates History: Conqueror (1956)
Description: The next few movies Scott and I will talk about have at least one common theme, they all involve John Wayne in one way or another. John Wayne either really loved history or truly hated it and wanted to punish it. Whatever John Wayne felt, he had a talent for turning any era of history into a great Western. Today Scott and I (and of course you) have to decide whether John Wayne respected the tradition of Genghis Khan or if he shot it full of flaming fire arrows. Today, Scott is going to defend the 1956 classic: The Conqueror starring John Wayne.

Title: Hollywood Hates History: The Scarlet Letter (1995)
Description: Every so often, Hollywood gets a movie based on a historical event and piece of literature absolutely perfect. The producers really get the tone and big ideas of a novel and the historical events the novel depicted. It is a tough job. I wish we had a movie like that today, but we 100 percent don’t. The Scarlet Letter from 1995 stars Demi Moore and Gary Oldman and tries to bring the seminal American novel “The Scarlet Letter” by Nathaniel Hawthorne to the silver screen. Let’s see if Hollywood Hates History today.

Title: Hollywood Hates History: Dracula Untold
Description: Today we have a surprising episode of Hollywood Hates History. Scott Rank decided to defend Dracula Untold from 2014. I thought this would be a slam dunk to go up against. I was wrong. There is quite a bit of history in this movie. The film makers got things right in this movie that one would never think they would get right. Listen to find out if Dracula Untold is a great piece of historical fiction or just another vampire movie waiting for the stake!

Title: Hollywood Hate History: The Da Vinci Code
Description: Today we have a real treat for Hollywood Hates History. I’ll tell you, Hollywood seriously hated history on this one, the 2006 spectacle, The Da Vinci Code. I actually had to defend this movie and it was not easy. I tried my best mount the best defense possible because this movie sliced and diced history so badly. The Da Vinci Code might have been a movie you had to watch on a long flight during the middle of the first decade of the 2000’s, but if you listen to this episode you’ll also get to learn some great actual history.

Title: History Hates Hollywood: Agora (2009)
Description: For the next few weeks and months, I will have a series I did in collaboration with Scott Rank of the History Unplugged Podcast. We are calling this series History Hates Hollywood. In this series, we take some of the history based movies we love and we hate the most and put them on trial. We talk about a wide range of movies from different historical periods. Our first History Hates Hollywood is where we left of on our last Beyond the Big Screen: 2009 movie Agora. Agora from 2009 is about the situation with Hypatia of Alexandria and the Christians. If you want to hear a very detailed background and discussion of the movie, you can relisten to the episode I did with Jonathan of the history of the Copts podcast. I held back my opinions of the movie as best as I could. In this episode with Scott Rank, I’ll let you know what I really think about the movie!
