I wanted to share a bit of the book I'm writing today but work got busy. I'm on the way to visit Comanche Nation today, and that place has always felt like home.But back where I come from is characterized this time of year by old wooden barns producing the even older smells of smoked tobacco.

How does a man perform the role of a doting stepfather when his new stepson may be the antichrist? That’s the question we’re asking this week with the 2017 film, Little Evil.

We left when I was 8 years old and headed back to Kentucky. In my twenties, I circled back to those days and learned as much as I could about the foods we ate when I was there.

Eight years ago we started Historians At The Movies as a way of turning our brains off and just enjoying history. That night we did National Treasure and over the better part of a decade #HATM grew and changed and started to have real dialogue about what pop culture means in how we imagine both our own past and our present.So this week I wanted to go a history-inspired film that allow us to enjoy what Hollywood does best: putting pretty people onscreen and then letting them do fun things.
