Rush Hour History

Episode 20 - No Country for Good Men

Welcome back from the holidays! We move into 2020 with a nightmarish world populated by psychophants, narcissists, the totally inept, and two people trying to do the right thing at the wrong time. Stilicho will face political hurdles, Alaric will find himself humbled, and the empire paralyzes itself in the face of its greatest threat: itself.

Episode 19 - It's Always Sunny in Constantinople

In what can only be described as a chain of catastrophic decision making, abuses of power, and complete misunderstanding of consequences, the east more resembles an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia rather than imperial bureaucracy. Alaric will seek recompense for Frigidus, the east will be ruled by the Superintendent of the Sacred Bedchamber, and Ancient Greece will have the "ancient" part forcefully removed. Yikes.

Episode 18 - Divine Intervention

RHH strikes back after the holidays with a bang: Theodosius and Arbogastes will have a terminal face-off, God chooses sides on a conflict that will shape the next millennia, and we'll get into the nitty-gritty about Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace. Join us for another episode of military violence, tactical fun, and analysis of winter weather formations.

Episode 17 - The Wrath

Things go sideways for Theodosius and the tranquility of the empire. The empire is sundered once and for all, emperors will be hanged from their rafters, diplomats strangled in full view of the imperial court, and Arbogastes will reveal his true nature as a 390's Darth Vader. Buckle-up and keep your eyes on the road because this train is going off the rails.

Episode 16 - A Dark Lord Rises

Mass slaughter of civilians in Thessalonica, the emergent problem of church versus state, and through the strangling of a young political rival the rise of a dark lord all will be present here in Episode 16 of Rush Hour History. Huns will do what they do best, a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde problem will appear, and Theodosius will continue to provide violent, explosive history. We're only just getting started.
