Do you want a movie bonus episode every month, or a second bonus history episode?

I love Lions lead by Robots.

Lmao guess this poll didn't have an effect on the bonus episode this month 😅😅

While I would prefer more history I was kinda under the impression the movie episodes were there to give Joe and whoever else is doing research and writing a break from that, or at least not have to do as much, if that's the case I'd totally be happy with keeping a movie episode

PLEASE keep the movies!! I already get history on the main feed, so I enjoy the lighter stuff. Honestly, it's why I subscribed to Patreon. I even have a suggestion for a Robots movie: Atlas. It's Jenny From The Block doing Gundam shit and it rocks. It's an all-around terrible movie, but I had so much fun watching it. Please don't get rid of Robots or movies completely.

Would be delighted with more Zoo Crew History Episodes. Francis' Jesse James episode is still one of my favorites, as well as James Garfield and the Boofing Bellows.

Lions Lead By Robots is a pretty auto non listen. What does it have to do with the subject of the podcast again? Historical war movies? More.

I think the movie episodes, especially the war movies, are great. However I do enjoy the history bonuses more, sometimes more so than the regular episodes.

Gentlemen, these poll results are democracy manifest.

Keep the movie but kill Lions led by Robots, more Zoo crew. SharpesCast was incredible. I read those books and watched the shows when I was in the Marines.

I like a mix. Its always a good time when you do movies, but i did find myself here for the historical military mess ups. It would be hard to choose really

I basically just want more zoo crew. You guys are really great cast wise.

Im glad y’all asked, this was a good poll

Thanks for the poll! Do what you want to, I'm happy either way. AND I love the history episodes. Movies are just fun filler, history is the meat :)

i think it’s cool to see the cast dispel pop history myths that are present in movies. the deep dives on subjects that are in common parlance with deeper information about said topics is why the movie episodes are great imo, especially the movies/topics that are more well known

I like the Gundam spinoffs as bonus episodes, instead of doing movies have you considered TV series? I personally think you guys would have a great spin on Avatar: The Last Airbender and Avatar:Legend of Korra

While I do enjoy the move/tv reviews, I don’t mind y’all doing a history episode. As long as it’s still a Zoo Crew episode, I am fine with it.

Where's the 'whatever you feel like doing' button

I’m still waiting for a special about Generation Kill. That’s right into you and Nate’s alley

I do love the movie episodes and the Sharpe Show and all that, but man I love when you guys rip into dumb history more

Porque no los dos? Why not do both, and just mix it up month to month?

I really like the movie episodes but it always feels like something is missing unless I'm able to watch the movie along with the episode. History is easier to just jump right in while I'm working the FAB.

I enjoy the one off movie episodes. But Sharpe Show, LLBR, and Romecast I don’t listen too. Its to much to commit 8+ episodes of review to shows I haven’t watched aha

It doesn't need to be a movie or TV show, but I like for you to have the opportunity for a bonus episode that requires less of Joe, so that more effort can go into the main show and he can occasionally go outside and see the sun.

I really enjoy the Lions Led by Robots content and hope for more Gundam shenanigans.

As others have said, as long as it is a zoo crew episode, topic doesn’t matter.

I wouldn't mind just a random bullshit episode where it's all Nate ADHD tangents. 0 prep. All Nate's random thoughts

I'm here for the history but enjoy most of the movies.

i admit i do often enjoy the history episodes more, so if it genuinely wouldn’t be a major jump in workload to take on, i’d say maybe most of them should be history, and maybe every other or every third or could be a movie? or as others suggested, possibly rolling movies more into the Lions Led By Robots slot or something

Sometimes I just need to let my brain rot with the zoo crew and a movie review

Do what you guys need to do. We will be here with open arms.

if the movie episodes help you avoid burnout that's fair enough. In a selfish world, I find the history episodes already strike a nice balance of off-topic humour and information, and I'm just more interested in the stories than in random films.

I'd say make the extra history episode light hearted or on something dumb, to offset the "heavier" stuff of regular episodes.

I would say i prefer history topics, but if you all need time to do an easy topic once in a while the movie episodes are good too

The movie episodes are always a good breather from the heavier topics

Keep the movie bonus episode, as long as it helps prevent burnout

I’m an uncultured swine so movie episodes really don’t do anything for me. Something went off with my wiring in college and I started to use jstor for comfort reading and history YouTube and documentaries for comfort TV

I enjoy the history stuff more consistently but I also wouldn't rule out movies entirely. Since history episodes require research and movies don't, I think that they're good to give Joe a break if he'd prefer that. For me, it really depends on the movie, like the "In the Army Now" review totally lost me because I hadn't seen it and was never in the army, but even though I hadn't seen Waterloo or Napoleon (2023) there was still a lot to talk about in terms of trivia and focused criticisms, for want of a better way to put it.

I like the movie episodes but I'd be fine with less of them. That being said I'd also like an Aliens bonus episode at some point.

Will it still be a zoo crew episode? That’s the most important thing

I do prefer history episodes but I would hate to do away with the movie episodes altogether. But also I don't have time to watch movies these days so if it's one a haven't seen i might skip the episode anyway.

I enjoy listening to you guys enjoying yourselves, so either works for me. I'm sure that the continuous flow of historical study to churn out content must be difficult on a number of levels, so really don't overstrain yourselves.

I honestly just skip sharpes show and gundam series.

Mixing up lions led by robots to be both Gundam and movies is a good compromise for me. I like the bonuses to be just history

Make it be like school. Often history, but sometimes the teacher is a bit hung over and just wants to put on a movie

Maybe do some historical movies. I loved the napoleon review

you've really got something special here with the history content -- it's not that i dislike the movie episodes, but movie podcasts are a dime a dozen. LLBD history eps are a truly unique balance of being informative yet also fun yet also bleak at the same time, honestly there's no other show like this and that's what keeps me coming back.

I think you should pick whatever option you think is the most fun, or best for your mental balance.

I just want more variety in the bonuses tbh. A movie episode every month has gotten kinda old, but theres definitely a plethora of funny historical stories to do. What might be cool to see is Francis running you guys through a D&D one shot or something.

More LLBD radicalization episodes imo

I do enjoy the zoo crew episodes. What those episodes happen to be about matters less to me.

Not completely against movie-based episodes, but I would prefer more history content.

Half of what I enjoy is just listening to y'all talk, and the movies are a nice break from the horrors of history (as if that isn't what we've signed up for in the first place), plus I like hearing your takes on things pop culture so my true vote is at least the occasional movie; but also with everyone else on, do what you enjoy and we'll listen 😆 (love how considerate everyone is being)

I do enjoy the occasional movie episode as it adds some levity in the midst of discussing some rather grim subjects.

I'm here for the reality of history. I have no significant interest in most movies or TV shows.

Movies could be a fun treat sometimes, but I don’t know about on a regular basis.

I'm the cursed friend in my group that doesn't like anime so I guess the movie could be replaced, but I was also spoiled for years by hellofaway's "is it fascist?" movie reviews so I suppose I'd like an extra history show but honestly I just love listening to you guys riff on whatever so do what feels best

An occasional movie episode is fine but yes, I could see most of them replaced.

This might be the one time.i might be against democracy if the “no movie” party wins. There will be a coupe. It'll be bloody. Idk how but ill figure it out.

I prefer a balance, where sometimes it's an extra history episode and sometimes it's a movie. Really make it a surprise what we get.

you could do a "two in one" and review more movies of historical events. I suggest the 2001 Michael Bay documentary "Pearl Harbor", which stands as the pinnacle of historically accurate reenactments.

i find the history to be funnier episodes. i havent watched a whole lot of non horror movies so the jokes just dont land

Zoo Crew movie madness.

I'm a big fan of that movie episodes. It's nice to hear y'all riffing about stuff that's fictional every once and a while.

Whatever works best for your sanity honestly, 2 months just history 2 months movies would be great, whatever's easiest for y'all at the time.

Maybe I’m crazy but I seem to enjoy what ever y’all are doing. I like the variety.

My vote is what ever you want to do.

I think the movies might be less detrimental to our hosts mental health… why not just play it by ear!

love the films but prefer the history ^^

I'd be honestly happy with ever. Movies seems like less research. TBH if you just do either depending on how you're feeling that month it's fine with me.

Whatever works for you? I don't watch a lot of movies but it seems like you guys have fun discussing them, so I listen for that even when I've never heard of the movie.

I'm happy either way and for whatever is easier and more fun for y'all, but if I had to choose one of the options it's history

I love the dumb history. It literally makes me laugh out loud (which I’m sure my neighbours now think I’m crazy laughing to myself walking the dog). There’s tons of movie podcasts out there. More history please! 🙏🏻

I would like an episode on the Netflix all quiet on the western front movie though

Nothing wrong with occasional movie eps, especially if it's more convenient for you to organise, but I voted for more history

I’d prefer more history, but it depends on the work load. I imagine the research for the history episodes is a little more intensive than the movie episodes, and I’m sure we’d all hate for you to get over worked.

More dumb stuff from history please

Both. Honestly.

Definitely more history

Im happy either way, keep it up lads

I voted for the 1 movie per month, but I don't mind what you end up doing. I'm here for it.

I like the occasional shift, but there are a million film podcasts out there. I enjoy it when you play to your strengths more.

I wouldn’t like to lose movies permanently but I’m mostly here for the history. It would be great to have a movie episode every 2-4 months maybe (doesn’t have to be consistent, would maybe make sense to have more movies around busy times of the year and more history when you have more time?) but generally more history

History or movie, it doesn't matter. As long the zoo crew are there!

If y'all do cancel the movie episodes, could y'all attempt to wrap up G Gundam since y'all are about half way thru the show?

Voted history, but I love the Zoo Crew and don't want to lose that! Maybe alternate months between movie/history, or do episodes on slightly shorter topics to leave space for banter and nonsense?

Nothing beats the zoo crew banter, but damn i love dumb history

Prefer the history, but I’d rather you do whichever you enjoy doing more.

I kind of want both, why not combine the two? Mix the movie with whatever dumb history it's based on? Yes I'm aware that probably makes it twice as hard to do the one episode but I'm not the one that has to do it so it seems totally reasonable.

Movie by a wide margin

I like also both, maby do it one month a movie and a another month a history episode

Ideally I'd have a movie every 2 months or sporadically as you want. They're not worse than the bonus history, just different. Great banter in them too 👍

I always want more history episodes, but I do really enjoy the movie episodes so, whatever you guys are feeling like.

I don't have strong feelings either way, but I do like the movie episodes, but mostly for the fact it mostly ends up wildly off-topic 😄

The movie episodes are what I listen to when I force myself to paint my warhammer pile of shame, please keep doing them (just about 1000pts to go)

what about the 3rd choice where you guys change it up as you feel?

I know history is a lot more work, I get it. But hell so was watching Sharpe I guess…

Would an extra history episode be much more work than the existing movie episode because of all the research and prep?

I lean towards history, but there aren't really any wrong answers when it comes to choosing between the 2.

Thanks for asking us guys!

I like both, but I also enjoy variety and the banter quite a bit, so the movie episodes are nice for my long shifts. Like hanging out in a discord call or summat.

Damn its close at this moment..
