from I Didn’t Need To See That · host Peter Radwanski
On this weeks episode, we’re back in the trenches of war; literally. Only this time these trenches are more like a bunker full of Nazis! Yes, we’re strapped in to watch the final days of Nazi Germany as it all comes crashing down on their stupid heads in the 2004 film “Downfall”. Join us as we talk about what a messy queen that Hitler was as we breakdown one of the most nuanced performances of histories greatest monster that we’ve ever seen. While moments of this film work to test the viewers sense of empathy; evoking moments of clarity akin to members of Jonestown in the final days on the compound in Guyana, it never fails to carry the salient reminder that “Yes, they are Nazi’s and yes, they deserve this.” Also discussed, the messiness of humanizing the monster, Fascism as a fashion statement first and foremost, and how DO you say “Goebbels?” ?
