About this listen

Long-time besties, and history and film enthusiasts, Brick and Birdy bring you tantalizing facts and inaccuracy drama as they explore a new period film each episode. Listen in as they discuss, and sometimes rage, about the making of the film, the history the film is set against, and all other relevant, and maybe not so relevant, matters as they see fit. You could almost say, they’ll be in their period.
