I am Russian so I would really enjoy discussing The Americans even if I am not that knowledgeable.
I think they captured the Soviet details really well (though I was 14 when the USSR collapsed).
I really enjoyed that show and how they didn’t just engage in Russia hating.

There is a really cool discussion on Reddit about the Americans where they discuss how Philip and Elizabeth would have weathered the break up of the Soviet Union and what a “reunion” show twenty years later would look like.

Watch the movie Chasing Amy for a casual pop primer before digging into more academic and technical discussion.

Beats taste like dirt smells.

Refined dirt. All the flavor and nutrition with none of the grit.

With the former, I think about what life would be like if the US had lost World War II. With Atkinson’s book I think about how small things can change the trajectory of our lives. I could talk about time jumping/time travel until I lost my voice LOL. I don’t know anyone else like this. I’m a 51 year old married woman

I was coming on here to say this. I love alternate histories!

+1 Prime has a good catalog of shows and movies.

I also love disaster documentaries.

World War I. WWII gets all the glory and attention. I’m glad to see that changing a little bit, with some good movies in recent years.

I’m fascinated by war novels, generally, but especially WWI.
