About this listen

Aubrey and Maturin - best friends forever! We take a look through the brilliant Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World directed by Peter Weir and starring Russell Crowe and Paul Bettany. The number one movie that deserved a sequel that it never got.

We talk through the life and times of Thomas Cochrane – the real life inspiration behind Jack Aubrey and revel in the historical age of Enlightenment and the Napoleonic naval combat that serve as this film’s backdrop.

Plus why we never got a sequel, the magic brain coin, Little Lord Blakeney’s quiet ghastly amputation and spliiiiice the mainbraaaaaace mister maaaaaate!

Fancy rightfully redistributing some of Return of the King's 11 Oscars to Master and Commander, or would just like to get in touch? Drop us a line at historicalmoviespodcast@gmail.com
