Episode 322 – History Repeats with Liam Carballal and Rich Acritelli (Part 1)
In this episode, Liam Carballal and historian Rich Acritelli dive into the powerful intersection of film, television, and real-world history. From Netflix’s Death by Lightning and the new Nuremberg film to the iconic trio of Band of Brothers, The Pacific, and Masters of the Air, the conversation unpacks how Hollywood interprets—and sometimes distorts—the past. Liam and Rich explore leadership, battle fatigue, the moral stakes of World War II, Holocaust representations, and the shifting landscape of historical storytelling on modern streaming platforms. With candid reflections, sharp analysis, and an educator’s eye for truth, this episode examines why these stories still matter and how they continue to shape our understanding of war, trauma, and the human condition.
