Evil Clones Podcast

Netflix made a new history-doc series when you weren't looking, covering the lives of Ancient Rome's big guns. You may know Emperor Commodus from Ridley Scott's mostly made-up Oscar darling 'Gladiator' thanks to Joaquin Phoenix's scenery-chewing portrayal. Here he gets the spotlight as a gang of actors and history professors utilize a shoe-string budget to give you the real-ish story of Rome's legendary mad ruler.  Welcome back to the History Box Binge, where Kevin & Doug take a tour through the centuries with the help of the best historical dramas on TV. 

Back again to breakdown the second half of Amazon's star-studded sci-fi anthology series based on the short stories of Philip K. Dick (Blade Runner, The Man in the High Castle). We've got body-snatching aliens, paranoia-fuelled surveillance states,  environment-crippling mega-factories, and--wait, I thought we were talking about the future here...

Taking a break from historical dramas, we're diving into another Amazon original, the sci-fi anthology (no, not that one) based on the short stories of Philip K. Dick (Minority Report, The Man in the High Castle). Is it the next "Black Mirror"? Even with modern updates, do these 50-60-year-old stories still hold up? Well, it's got hella star-power, and Ronald D. Moore & Bryan Cranston running the show, so it's a start?

The History Box Binge returns! We take a look at the weird, wild, psychedelic world of Amazon Prime's new series 'Britannia' which tells the tale of the Roman invasion of the British Isles, but probably not the way anybody pictured, particularly with the freaky wizards and the drugs. Lots and lots of drugs.  Welcome back to the History Box Binge, where Kevin & Doug take a tour through the centuries with the help of the best historical dramas on TV. 

We conclude our deep dive into HBO's Rome, where Vorenus and Pullo get a front-row seat for the biggest VIPs of the Republic vying for power. All Of The Things go down as the age of the Empire begins.  Welcome back to the History Box Binge, where Kevin & Doug take a tour through the centuries with the help of the best historical dramas on TV.

We return to the ancient Rome of HBO's first lavish big-budget costume drama. In the wake of Julius Caesar's murder, the rival factions of Rome's elite scramble for power as new players and actors join the fray, leading to the downfall of a Republic and the rise of an Empire. There will be victories, defeats, love, loss and of course plenty of blood and sex. Join us as we break down the 1st half of the 2nd (and final) season! Welcome back to the History Box Binge, where Kevin & Doug take a tour through the centuries with the help of the best historical dramas on TV.
