  • Summary

  • Is this still the best Vikings movie ever made? We take a look at 1958's The Vikings starring Kirk Douglas (fufilling his childhood dream of playing a viking on screen), Tony Curtis, Janet Leigh and Ernest Borgnine.

    We take a look at how the production got a lot of the historical stuff right, how they were limited by their knowledge in 1950s and what aspects of this movie are complete Hollywood bulls**t!

    Plus the science of Kirk Douglas' bum chin, the potential of a Green Party-style Einar/Eric co-leadership and where are the horned helmets?

    Did you do a better job of remembering Snorri Sturluson's name, or would just like to get in touch? Drop us a line at historicalmoviespodcast@gmail.com
