Ep. 281: History Repeats
Guest: Richard Acritelli
Host: Liam Carballal
Network: hmTv
In this cinematic edition of History Repeats, host Liam Carballal and historian Richard Acritelli trade battlefields for box offices as they explore how Hollywood brings history to life—and sometimes bends it.
From the Civil War heroism of Glory to the Depression-era grit of Road to Perdition, the tactical brilliance of Patton, the nuclear tension of Thirteen Days, and the unforgettable realism of Saving Private Ryan, the duo dives into what these films got right, what they exaggerated, and why their stories still matter.
Acritelli and Carballal connect each film to its real historical roots—examining leadership, morality, race, courage, and the fine line between cinematic storytelling and factual truth. With passion, humor, and sharp insight, they remind listeners that history doesn’t just repeat—it also replays on screen.
