    How true are the stories we know about Roman emperors?

    How true are the stories we know about Roman emperors?

    Marcus Aurelius the philosopher, the mad Caligula, the monster Nero. After a couple of thousand years, we still remember the names of many Roman emperors. But why have some been forgotten? And how accurate are the stories that survive?

    Guest: Mary Beard, author of ‘Emperors of Rome: ruling the ancient roman world’, published by Allen & Unwin.

    37. Who Built the Giant Roaming Red Wall of Decimation and How Is That An Efficient Means of Capital Punishment

    I would like to make it known that I withdraw  my South Park statements after watching subsequent episodes and barely cracking a smile. But anyways, come in and sit down! Take a load off! Chris and Nick have some THINGS to discuss, in fact TWO of them, those TWO THINGS being the follow-up to Black Panther and one of the most controversial films of the 70's... a film that Roger Ebert himself walked out of... Caligula. If you read the descriptions of these eps, hope you are doing well, thank you for listening as always. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, but especially HELENA, yes you! Helena! If you are reading this and / or still with us after we wrapped up our Girls miniseries, Chris and I saw your review on Apple Podcasts and it touched our decrepit hearts and brought a smile to our faces.

    Episode 299: 'Fast X' with Myq Kaplan

    Episode 299: 'Fast X' with Myq Kaplan

    In 2001, they started out as simple street racing highway robbers. Since then, they've loved, they've died, they've come back to life, they've saved the world probably. At long last, their story comes to and end...er...hold up...it's not the end? It doesn't even know the meaning of the WORD "end?" In any case, it's Fast X, and our engines are suitably revved for Dom and them (and some new faces) to race back into our lives.

    023: A Very, Very Good Glass of Water

    023: A Very, Very Good Glass of Water
    After Edda "cures" Amos's hiccups, he takes the stage, first without his cello (hilarious!) and then with it. His performance, which is of course watched via satellite by all of his family and friends, inspires so much passion, that Juliette fucks Elliott on the couch right next to Nan. It also inspires Isabel to have sex with her boyfriend and Seth to make up with Mark, who appears here as a doll or small child. Amos finishes his performance and everyone there loses their minds, throwing their programs in the air and then roses at Amos and Edda. Naturally, the judges unanimously award the grand prize to Amos, who honestly looks like he doesn't give a shit and would rather be anywhere else but there. The victory is short-lived because of the sex tape that everyone saw. You know, because that caused an unfair advantage. Amos asks for another juried performance and then fucks Edda at the press conference. And that's where we leave Brussels, because this just goes on and on and we've truly had enough. (Part 3 of 3) The Chickweed strips we discuss this episode: Two Belgian perverts listen to Amos & Edda have sex, Amos & Edda finish having sex, Amos forgets his cello, then Amos forgets he's at a competition are here (https://twitter.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1627658453236981760?s=20). Amos & Edda begin their performance, the audience falls in love, Juliette & Elliott have sex next to Gran, and Isabel accosts her boyfriend are here (https://twitter.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1627658456625991681?s=20). Seth reunites with Mark, the audience throws their programs, the audience throws roses, and Amos gives Edda a rose are here (https://twitter.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1627658459931119619?s=20). Brooke Mac-El-Dee makes an ellipsis joke, Edda floats up to heaven, Amos and Edda get a phone call, and Edda finally has to tell Amos about the sex tape are here (https://twitter.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1627658463382994944?s=20). Amos doesn't care about the sex tape and Amos & Edda have sex at a press conference are here (https://twitter.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1627658466302230528?s=20). This award-winning, then award-losing episode includes: Drug commercials Resting heart rates The Actor's Nightmare Broadway Stupid computers Lurking outside doors Claude the Cat Showgirls Yo-Yo Ma performs Bach's Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1prweT95Mo0).

    011: My Sweaty, Tempest-Tossed Hallucination of Shrieking Abandon: A Halloween Extravaganza

    011: My Sweaty, Tempest-Tossed Hallucination of Shrieking Abandon: A Halloween Extravaganza
    Foolishly, I suppose, we thought FOR SURE Brooke McEldowney would make some reference to Halloween in his strip over the years. At the very least, we were expecting the female characters to be dressed as sexy somethings -- painters? pilots? poop emojis? -- but McEldowney gave us nothing. So we soldiered on and explored a half dozen or so strips that ran on Halloween. Edda writes an incomprehensible sentence on the chalkboard. Thorax either milks a cow or breaks up with it. Both seem equally possible. Edda finds some confidence only to have a friend tell her to "drop dead." A former nun (Diane) and Catholic priest (Francis) get married, which fogs up another nun's glasses. Thorax becomes "shadow president" and for some reason a chicken reads three teleprompters that all say "cluck." Amos & Edda's relationship is tested when Amos accidentally kisses Xiulan, a fellow cellist who is also a pilot, because of course she is. Finally, Edda does a solo ballet dance that's interrupted by a dog putting his nose in her butt. Mostly, we end up spending a lot of time at an insufferable dinner party with Brooke McEldowney. The Chickweed strips we discuss this episode: The vexing chalkboard, magnificent cow, and Drop Dead Janice are here (https://twitter.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1583844780823322626?s=20&t=kuoU5Slu_SoVFwnXWhY_tQ). The nun with the boob-eyes, the Shadow President, and Xiulan's damp kiss are here (https://twitter.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1583844786057814016?s=20&t=kuoU5Slu_SoVFwnXWhY_tQ). The dog nose in the butthole is here (https://twitter.com/9chickweedRAGE/status/1583844790239580160?s=20&t=kuoU5Slu_SoVFwnXWhY_tQ). This episode's not very spooky journey includes: Meditation 2-liter bottles Rocket launch Space X Elon Musk Plumbers Halloween decorations Edda Cows Thorax The Bechdel Test Janice, Edda's friend from the ballet company Diane & Francis Sister Steven / Sister Caligula Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart films Yet another ellipsis problem Shadow governments Teleprompter Tony Orlando & Dawn Amos, Edda, & Xiulan Showgirls Speed skating, ballet, or modern dance? The mysterious white dog again Happy Halloween! Show Notes Nam myoho renge kyo for 15 minutes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfRcUpoPl7w). Not a sexy poop emoji costume, but a sexy pope costume (https://www.yandy.com/products/yandy-shining-bright-pope-costume). Does this comic strip pass The Bechdel Test (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bechdel_test)? Probably not. For context, this is Caligula (https://www.britannica.com/biography/Caligula-Roman-emperor). A moment from To Have and Have Not (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huTKkFSn8us). "Knock Three Times" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nt5uNQ3FXRI) by Tony Orlando & Dawn. The Showgirls pool sex scene (https://dai.ly/x2bcf61). It is very NSFW. Skip to 2:15 for the splashiest part. Talk to Us!

    Gladiator

    Gladiator

    1.  Intro  2. Famous gladiators   3.  Allure of the gladiator  4. Types  5. Training   6. Gladiatorial spectacular   p.s. Mandingo

    Gladiators have intruded on the public consciousness for two millennia.  Fuelled by books and movies.  Yet the truth behind them all is often more vivid and brutal than fiction could ever convey. Training was hard, specialised skills were prized, and the spectacle was all.  Bread and circuses.  There were horsemen and charioteers, mock naval battles, and dramatic re-enactments of famous Roman victories.  Blood was usually demanded.  Around the Roman empire, amphitheatres were constructed to take this popular entertainment to the masses and to imprint Roman culture and values, and to carry Roman influence across the world.

    Some gladiators became famous, some the lovers of society women, some led revolts or were used as bodyguards by emperors and generals under threat.  With the Colosseum still standing and the remains of the gladiator school nearby, this era of history evokes powerful emotions and imaginings.  It continues to fascinate to this day.

    2.9 Ancient Rome Part 3b: 27 BC to AD 476 The Empire

    In our conclusion to our series on Ancient Rome, we finish up the Empire by talking about who the Emperors were and what they were known for. We also continue our analyzing of the Simpsons season 32 episode where they make a ton of references to this time period. Then we take another dive into the vast amount of popular culture tie ins that have occurred because of this era.

    2.8 Ancient Rome Part 3a: 27 BC to AD 476 The Empire

    In this episode, we take the first step into learning more about the Roman Empire. We had to split this episode into 2 parts as there is more information to keep it to just one. We take a look at what the changes were between the Republic and the Empire, and try to see what everyday life was like. We then take a little bit of pop culture and see where things might have been not quite as faithful as we might have thought.

    Fragment of the Reich Chancellery - Beastly Ends for Beastly People, #6 of 100 Bloody Objects

    Fragment of the Reich Chancellery - Beastly Ends for Beastly People, #6 of 100 Bloody Objects

    Bad things happen to bad people.  Throughout history, tyrants and despots have fallen, often in bloody and surprising ways. There was the defeated Roman Emperor used as a foot stool, the Afghan chief of defence fired from a cannon, and the Moroccan vizier chained to his dead brother in a dungeon.  All were part of a rich tapestry of horror and macabre episodes.  Yet even today there are still stories of woe and unpleasantness, and from Russia to Africa we recount some of the Beastly Ends of Beastly People.

    Caligula

    Caligula
    The (Roman) Empire strikes back, as we examine how in the span of less than four years Caligula's rule was so debauched and bloodsoaked as to grant him infamy for millenia to come. Could you imagine such a thing ever happening again? Boggles the mind. Tweet feedback to @podcastbutevil. Intro: Theme from 'I, Claudius' Outro: The Smiths: Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now

    Mad Monarchs: Roman Rulers

    Leapfrogging over bowing dignitaries is one thing, but if you've ever wanted to release leopards amongst your dinner guests or rename everything according to its relation to you, then Roman emperors may have a thing or two to teach us.

    This week, Jess and Philippa talk about the hilarious pranks available to Roman emperors and maybe...just maybe...learn the meaning of true friendship.
