Charles is a Purple-Heart veteran and long-time cinephile; Aaron is a critical rhetorician and Co-Host of The Alien Movie Project and together they are exploring the narrative, affective, and production politics of the most actiony of action movies: The War Movie.
Three movies per batch, one batch episode comparing the three, “Dirt Maps” digging deeper into what we learned, listen in wherever you find your podcasts.
This week Charles and Aaron look back at Batch Thirteen and talk about the evolution of “boat action” on screen. Who is in charge, how do they feel watching the young boys and men die under their command, and why does Master and Commander feel like a step backwards (in spite of the fact that we LOVE the movie)? It’s all here.

B13E02 Captain Horatio Hornblower
Chales and Aaron are back on the barky, this time with Gregory Peck pacing the quarter deck and a quarter of a million dollars in miniatures getting blown to smithereens. How do you produce sound after an era of silent films? How do you import Gregory Peck without violating British economic policy? How do you say "Horatio Hornblower" and keep a straight face? We don't have all the answers, but we DO have GREGORY PECK.
