Caligula (1977) Feat. Eleanor Janega

In the 1970s Bob Guccione had a simple dream: to make a serious movie about the emperor Caligula with Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, John Gielgud and Peter O'Toole that also had a bunch of porn in it.

Champion, fan-favourite and horny-history expert Eleanor Janega returns to the pod to talk about one of the most insane films ever made.

The Twelve Caesars: Caligula

It's time for history's greatest statesman, a man so forward thinking he nearly made a horse a consul (or did he?): Gaius Caligula. Expect palace coups, seashells and slightly over-familiar sister relationships.

PREVIEW - The Duellists (1977)

Is there anything gayer than two straight men? Arguably no, and we have watched a movie that makes that case loud and clear. Join Milo, Phoebe and Pat as they analyse a movie about two Napoleonic cavalry officers who would literally do anything to each other except kiss.

The Twelve Caesars: Tiberius

It's Milo's turn to explain the Emperor Tiberius to Phoebe and Pat. Augustus' adopted son with a bad reputation and his own, ahem, private island. He is also the biological son of the most confusingly named man in history. Expect ancient scandals and name alerts galore.

The Twelve Caesars: Augustus

Pat is in the driving seat this week, explaining to Milo and Phoebe what Suetonius thinks about the man who found Rome a city of brick but did some rather nifty cladding work. We also get into the thorny issue of Nolan's Odyssey and which director we would rather have.

Introducing: Past Lives

Patrick is launching a new podcast! You can listen to the very first episode here.
----

Most of the history we're taught revolves around "Great Men," the Napoleons and Alexander the Greats of the world, but they're hardly typical of the human experience. History actually revolves around advisors, merchants, laborers, farmers, and slaves, the common clay of humanity and the raw material for any good story of our shared past.

Become a member now at https://www.patreon.com/cw/PastLivesMedia You'll get access to the Past Lives Discord server and four pieces of bonus content per month (including a historian interview, book club, Q and A, and a sources and evidence discussion). Past Lives is a 100-percent independent production, and your support is what allows us to make this show. So, thank you.

Past Lives can be found on all the usual podcast platforms. Masters of Our Domain will return on Monday.
