Christmas Traditions

Welcome back to Tiltta. Chill with the gang as we explore some interesting holiday traditions and origins.

Good Men

Movie NOT recommendation: STOP watching Sinners (2025). Worst movie of the year.   We have a new Pope, new Prime Minister & a new episode. Inspired by this, join us as we discuss Good Men in history-- men who adored their wives over fame (James Stewart), men who changed laws to be with their lovers (Emperor Justinian I) and men who moved mountains for love (Dashrath Manjhi).

Amazing Animals

Movie recommendation: The Whale (2011). Directed by: ⁠Suzanne Chisholm and ⁠ [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2832640/?ref_=tt_ov_dr_1]⁠Michael Parfit⁠ [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0661401/?ref_=tt_ov_dr_2]. Join the cousins as we explore 'Amazing Animals'. Starting off strong, we have the Amazing Pelorus Jack, a dolphin who guided ships through the treacherous French Pass. Then, we explore the sad and inspiring tale of Tahlequah, the Orca mother who mourned her children in a way never before seen by the species. Lastly, the group learns about various ancient animal epitaphs left by their loving owners.

Jack the Ripper: Identity Revealed

In Episode 11 of the podcast, listeners are treated to a gripping exploration of the infamous Jack the Ripper case alongside their classic movie recommendation: Francis Ford Coppola's "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992), a visually stunning film that intertwines themes of love and death, paralleling the historic saga of Jack the Ripper's gruesome murders in Victorian London. The episode delves into the socio-economic climate of 1888 London, the chilling details surrounding the Ripper's five canonical victims, and the myriad suspects that have kept the mystery alive for over a century. A highlight is the examination of recent DNA evidence, which purportedly points to Aaron Kosminski as the likely perpetrator, though this finding is mired in controversy and skepticism. The episode not only revisits the chilling narrative of one of history's most notorious serial killers but also poses lingering questions about justice for the victims.
