Firing Line on WOSU
Click to expand...



WOSU was the oldest radio station in Columbus. WOSU's origins trace back to 1920 when Ohio State University was granted an experimental license on April 20, 1920. On June 3, 1922, the station received the call letters WEAO (Willing Energetic Athletic Ohio). In 1933, the call letters were changed to WOSU.

The Cry......it came out last year but is just now airing on Sundance (or you can stream all the episodes for free via Vimeo like I did over the last w days). A hauntingly beautiful 4 part mini-series story starring Jenna Coleman. It is simply superb.





I confess, I would watch Jenna Coleman peel potatoes, so I may be a bit biased in my recommendation.....

It’s on BBC America and seems an appropriate movie to begin rivalry week.

I thought season 4 of the Man In The High Castle really delivered right up until the end.

What didn't you like about it?

For those who thought John Smith would go live in the non-Nazi, democratic America, they weren't paying attention to everything in his character's arc. I knew from the moment he traveled to it that his ultimate decision would be to kidnap that Thomas and bring him back to the Reich. Every time he came to a moral fork in the road, he always chose self-interest in the service of evil. To me it made perfect sense that his "American Reich" wouldn't be a return to Democracy but, rather, simply an evil, Nazi regime run by an American. It made perfect sense for a guy who earned his bones as a senior officer at the Cincinnati extermination camp to have spent his last days planning for the "racial purification" of the soon to be conquered Western states.

A couple of random thoughts. I didn't like the fact that Omar Bradley had turned. I would have guessed him to have joined Ike for the last stand in Ohio. Patton, however, made sense since he was halfway fascist in real life.

I also didn't like that they had John Wayne dying at the "Battle of Dayton" but Sinatra thriving in the Reich. John Wayne was a right wing, white supremacist chickenhawk who would have done quite well under the Nazis. Sinatra, on the other hand, was (in the forties) a staunch New Deal Democrat and one of the first major Hollywood celebrities to take a stand for civil rights. In contrast to the perfectly healthy John Wayne, Sinatra (classified 4F due to a punctured eardrum) tried multiple times to enlist at various induction centers around NYC. They got that one backwards. He's the one who would have died at Dayton.

@ORD_Buckeye I got stuck on the parallel universe interaction and what happens next. I felt like there was more story that could’ve been told, but they were just ready to be done.

What happened to Julia and her marriage to the Ag Minister’ son? That kind of got left by the way side. Why did they call off the bombing when they learned of Smith’s death? No other ego maniac to take over?
