from Prizefighters, Circus Freaks & Gangsters · host Jamie Lewis & Greta Hardin

The movie WIld WIld West - Great idea, the steam punk era set in a slightly alt (and completely plausible) history.  Props - great.  Cast - all the big names of the day.The excection?  A stinker.But don't worry, you don't have to watch the movie because we did it for you.  And we won't be doing it again.  That aside, there is all the luxe you'd expect of the the mid-19th century, along with the frontier rought and tumble.  And Germans, we finally get Germans in their rightful frequency!And of course the question - is new, emerging tech ALWAYS hijacked, and turned to Nefarious Profiteering and Crime?If you are up for a discussion of historical fun & some critical movie criticism... come along.As always - you can reach us on the internets.Jamie Lewis (plagueofstrength.com & IG @plagueofstrength)and his NEW YouTube Apprearances on Carved Outta Stone Wednesday AM or Friday PMSchedule Details: instagram.com/carvedouttastone&Greta Hardin (The History of American Food podcast & @THoAFood all over)
