An incoming transmission from Darth Vader himself interrupts the show and our intrepid hosts are forced to make a deal to save their lives - and by enlisting some help, they may just be up to the task!

In this trailer, we preview the Season One finale of The History on Film Podcast, which will premier on June 9th, where Ross and Ryan will give an in-universe look at Star Wars history and discuss the history of the Galactic Empire with Dr. Chris Kempshall, author of "Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire."

Ross and Ryan continue Musical May with 1980's "Xanadu"! I'll be honest, this one is less about history and more about good vibes, so enjoy!

For the second week of Musical May, Ross and Ryan discuss 1972's "Cabaret". They discuss the fragility of interwar Germany and the rise of fascism, the artistic influences on the film, and why this film is painfully relevant still.
