re: the Armenian soldiers’ dance — all these years of the Internet and still I'm amazed that 1) we even have such footage and 2) that American me in the 21st century can watch this scene online that I might otherwise never even have heard of let alone be able to see for myself

Actually, what IS the opening theme anyway? If there's a full version of it I'd love to listen to it.

Hey Joe, just a really dumb request, but going forward can you not talk over the opening theme? It's pretty lit and I do a little dance everytime I hear it.

Thank you for this one. It is a not so subtle point that often goes uncorrected.

That letter is soul crushing. It reminds me a bit of the Thomas Meehan letter.

Last letters are so gutwrenching to read, but such important historical documents. How many more of these stories are lost to time?

I could never write a death note as eloquent and forgiving as that man did.
