This Week: Napoleon, Men in Black 3, Barbieheimer

BOATS THIS WEEK (JULY 15-21,2024) — Events from this week in history include Napoleon’s surrender aboard HMS Bellerophon that happened on July 15th, 1815, and we'll learn how it was shown in the 2023 biopic.  Then, we'll learn about the Apollo 11 miniseries that we’ll launch tomorrow on the exact anniversary of the launch from July 16th, 1969, before finishing up in the animated classic Anastasia for the murder of the Romanovs on July 17th, 1918. In the birthday segment, “Machine Gun” Kelly, Lizzie Borden, Alexander the Great, and my mom (remember to say "hi" to your mom this week). And last but certainly not least, we did our own special Barbieheimer mashup to celebrate those two movies releasing exactly one year ago this week, on July 21st, 2023. Until next time, here's where you can continue the story.
