The Worst Botched Executions In History

from Softcore History Hosted by Softcore History

Being executed for your crimes is never fun but throughout history, some executions have been much, MUCH worse than others. Specifically, the executions that did NOT go as planned. From beheadings that needed way too many swings of the ax and backup executioners who had no idea what they were doing to the first-ever use of the electric chair in 1890, many an execution has gone horribly wrong. We go over some of the worst.Subscribe to the Softcore History Patreon for hundreds of hours of extra history content including listener history questions, history movie watch-alongs, and weekly bonus episodes.

Ride along with two perfect strangers as they criss cross movie land, stopping to explore cinema classics and not-so-classics. Can the strangers find common ground through film and form a friendship? Will their opinions vary as widely as the miles between them or can they meet in the middle and connect over a movie and some laughs? Can they manage to stay on topic? They’re just two average Joe’s from different parts of the U.S. that decided to prove the power of cinema. It’s a good time for all in the movie car as the strangers discuss trivia, history, impacts and influences of films you may or may not have heard of. All aboard!
