Episode 13: Harriet Part Two

Brick and Birdy happily celebrate a belated Black History Month and then Women's History Month with the audacious and fabulous Harriet Tubman. What a journey, and what a journey of history NOT in the movie! Stay tuned for all the tea NOT shared in the movie that we cover as well. Half our episode is everything missing, but we still think Cynthia Erivo was perfect in this role! Due to all the tea we had to spill, this is...of course...a two parter. xD Sources * Drunk History - Harriet Tubman Leads an Army of Bad Bitches (ft.

Scenic Outtakes Ep. 9: Killers of the Flower Moon

Birdy continues the deep dive into The Osage Murders as told in Killers of the Flower Moon. She brings us from the all too quick sentences for those tried for the murders, brings us through the long and continuing battle of the Osage for theirs rights to land and life, onto today and what the Osage and other indigenous folks think about the history and the movie.  Sources 1.

Episode 11: Killers of the Flower Moon Part Two

Brick and Birdy took the deepest dive into the dark and sadly under-told story of The Osage Murders of the 1920s through to the 2023 film Killers of the Flower Moon. They put on their true crime hats and dive into the actual murders, the context surrounding why they happened, and because of the genuine dedication to this story, they have made this a two parter, so if you missed part 1, go back! Birdy will later discuss what is still happening today as well in an Outtake Episode. They have also provided all the sources now, so you can follow along. Thank you for sticking with us, as we've gone OFF schedule, in order to dedicate more quality time with these stories.  Sources P.2 (Please note these sources are different from Ep.1, they are the rest of the sources that were missing due to character restrictions.) 1.
