History Buffs: Vikings Cast Interviews 

"It's been 84 years"

The return of History Buffs, nice!

Man, Gustafson came in swinging on the accuracy, didn’t he? I don’t think enough credit is given to how much the cast consistently manipulates their voice and tone for the characters. Standen sounds like such a soft spoken gentleman, and Gustaf’s voice is so much deeper than Floki’s...

Ya know. He doesnt upload a lot, but he always uploads quality content. Dont apologize for slow uploads

I hope 1917 has been added to your list of future videos

I met Alexander about 5 years ago when we were on the same flight from Copenhagen to Reykjavík. Really great, normal guy; he let me take a photo of us. Said he was sneaking off to hang out with friends in Iceland over the weekend while shooting a season of Vikings. Helped someone with their bags and sat in the back of the plane real "Floki" ;)

Holy shite, congratulations Nick, these were a joy to watch, you did well with the rapport and elicited both some fun history knowledge and your dialogue with the actor who plays Egcbert was excellent. 10/10 upload moar, goodly sir!

Do a history buff on "Black Sails". PLEASE...

This channel has consistently put out the highest quality content.

please please please: a SHOGUN review with Richard Chamberlain. Would be great to see how accurate they took the history, costumes and so on! love your channel, thank you so much!

Wow. I cant explain how good this interview was to me and I thank you for all your dedication and commitment to your craft. It has made me a better person

Thanks for keeping us up to date on a certain title. Not like other RU-vidrs. Appreciate all your work bro.

Hey man. You should see and talk about Last Kingdom. Very good series so far, based on The Saxon Stories, from Bernard Cornwell, You should know about it. Would be nice. And welcome back

I wish Vikings was more historically accurate. I felt like a was watching a soap opera after season 4. I also hate how they went completely fantasy in this season by having the Rus invade Scandinavia. They should have done Cnut the Great’s invasion instead because it actually happened. I also hate the time warping they chose to do. They made Rollo Ragnar’s brother even though they lived 100 years apart from each other. They also made Ragnar a farmer for some reason even though he was the son of a king and he inherited the kingdom. Next thing we know Ubba is going to 1v1 Ivar at the Battle of Hastings after William the Conquerer fights out of poverty in Normandy.

Seriously: you sure know how to keep your fans in suspense. After viciously destroying Elizabeth, and teasing how The Golden Age is even far more historically inaccurate, you keep us waiting for months on end. Bring it on already! On topic: I have to say Vikings has become too much of a soap opera during the past two seasons. I've hung on until a couple of weeks ago, but what's going on with the characters that are left, and especially the new ones, really doesn't interest me anymore.

History buffs, THE IRISHMAN PLEASE !!

That scene at 16:03 is my one of my favorites of the series, and really anything with Ecbert in it is pure gold :)

Oh fuck yeah bud, You never disappoint with these videos.

The man has returned! Fantastic interviews. I love Vikings and you’ve really done a great job of digging into depths of the show with your questions. Can’t wait to see the videos lined up for 2020. Hope Open Range is on the list!

Everytime you release a video, it's like Xmas, because I've been waiting and I get so much joy from seeing y'all's stuff.

Please Please whenever possible do 1917. I absolutely loved the film

This channel keeps getting better

Congrats on 1 MILLION subs, dude!

Fantastic piece of work here. I especially enjoyed the section with the actor that plays Rollo.

Nick is there any plan to review the 1963 Cleopatra? 4 hours long and will provide lots of content. Or is that getting a skip because despite being a better representation of that period, it's redundant to season two of Rome?

Please you have to do The Irishman next! It is such an interesting point in time and it would be wonderful to hear what exactly happened, who did what and how.

You think you could review “Unknown Soldiers”? It’s about a Finnish machine gun squad in WW2, it’s interesting because it follows them when Finland was allied with Germany fighting the Soviets.

Well done Nick these interviews are really good, thoroughly enjoyed this. Would be interested to see a video just on your thoughts about season 4 and beyond, exploring it from a story standpoint as well as historical.

You combined two of my favorite things: history and movies.

Please review Glory from 1989

You should definitely do a history buffs paths of glory next, one of the best ww1 films hands down.

Plz do gangs of new York history buff

Some of the best memories of this series.

Hacksaw Ridge plz!

Dude your channel is awesome. Love to get to know more of movies and history at the same time

The irony of having a historical consultant on the set of the world's most farb-y clusterfuck of a show.

They should have ended the show when they avanged Ragnar's death.

That was absolutely awesome man! Thanks, big time!

Take your time Nick, you do great, great work. Love your videos man.

I don't watch TV at all so when I learned of Vikings here I thought I'd give it a try. Damn good series! Also, have you done anything on Cromwell?

What happened to Midway? I thought the first review of it would be yours. How about contrasting it against the 1976 version like you did with "Pearl Harbor" and "Tora Tora Tora"?

Do Lonesome Dove , its one of my all time favorite movie/mini series.

Hey dude what do you think of MIDWAY

Currently midway through Season 5 and I gotta say, King Ecbert is definitely the best, most fascinating character in Vikings.

I live near Kattegat. We call this place Ireland. Thanks for visiting.

You should do a video on “The King”

Man I hope you do 1917 and Chernobyl.

I see History Buffs, I hit the like button!

Here's another movie for you to historical rip apart. The movies Red tails or The Tuskegee airmen. Both have the same subject but one was made in the 90s

It is quite fascinating to learn a lot about vikings and how they do their way of living

my dream is for you to do a review about Michael the Brave or Vlad the Impaler, I would literally scream out of joy!

Have you seen *Sharpe* with Sean Bean.

Please do Glory or The Iron Lady for review after Elizabeth II!

Vikings: one of the best TV epics ever!

Bless your videos so much

Do a review of "Vinland Saga."

After Elizabeth can you’d a review of flyboys

Eskify Upload!!!! Fuck Yeah. Now I know how I'm spending my morning.

Hope you're well, Nick!

A few movies you should consider doing are. 1) 1917 2) U-571 3) Red tails 4) Air strike 5) Stalingrad 6) Hacksaw ridge 7) Black hawk down 8) Letters from Iwo Jima 9) the new midway movie 10) and maybe do fury too Thanks history buff.

Video on 1917? :)

welcome back! Any chance we can get a review of "And Starring Pancho Villa as Himself?"

You should do something with the last kingdom

Hey Nick could you do a review of either Troy or lords of chaos please

Do Midway (2019) I found it to be mostly accurate. And it had great action and acting.

do "Empire of The Sun" pls

Outlaw king, Outlaw king

This was lovely

Hey there Nick, for starters let me say I absolutely love your videos, as I learn a great deal watching them about history and film-making, wich is saying something. On another topic, and as a French, I would love to see you have a go with the french TV movies "Napoleon" wich I'm sure you've heard of based on the footage seen in your Waterloo video, because I can't help but think it's a little biased since it was a french production. I know it would require a lot of work since it's 4 movies of more than 90 minutes each, but I think it would also be interesting as it covers almost all of Napoleon's journey and is not centered solely on his military achievements. Hope you'll see this and deliver, wether it be this year or in 10. Keep up the good work and have my thumb up.

Do a History Buff episode for The Irishman!

Can you do another episode on vikings for the seasons you didn't review

That part about being loved to hated sounds like what Yoda told Anakin but backwards.

Please do an episode on the 1953 film seminole. I believe you will find it an interesting look at one of the most unique conflicts in history.

Been binging your channel after finding it recently, and have really been enjoying it. I had a funny thought- realized that Anchorman is “inspired” by a real person and story. I’m completely aware it won’t be close at all, however I think it would be really funny to learn about. Just sayin🤷🏻‍♀️😂

This was awesome

So nice that they are aware of their history. I get the mixed timeline for the sake of making a cool tv show but man i wish they would have used historically correct environments and clothing for the show. Fjords have been done to death when it comes to vikings.

I'm on the edge of my seat for Elizabeth the Golden Age, but this is a nice way to wait. This has me wondering if you've seen Vinland Saga, and if you'd maybe do a quick video about it

Still waiting for Cleopatra.

Please, once the show is finished do another Vikings video covering Seasons 4-6

I have watched all your videos. Now I don't know what to do with my life.

You should do a history buff video on the new midway movie

Nick should review Vinland Saga :D

Hey Nick, please do a history buffs review of Mongol. It needs a long overdue video about it. Thanks!

Someones probably asked this but... History Buffs: Generation Kill?

Nick, I'm joining a viking re-enactment group. Any suggestions as to books to read or historically correct things to watch to learn more about these times?

Hey love your Channel and I learn a lot from you so yeah

Do A video about the film public enemies!

Vikings season 1-4 was great, especially loved 4b and the new cast in it but the show really changed for 5 and what we've seen of 6 (so far).

please review the historical movie, Patton

I recommend the film For the Greater Glory its about there Cristero War in Mexico in the 1920s

Could you do an episode on Glory?

Hey Nick, I really enjoy your videos I would like to suggest you review the TV series “The Pacific” some time in the future.

Hi Nick. Can you please send this interview video to the main stream media, on how to actually interview actors, directors, and others in the movies business when discussing about a show or a movie...

1914 I love that movie

I am so happy the geography part is mentioned, and even by one of the actors! I understand they can/have to change the timeline due to adding as much of Viking history/saga stories as possible, however the geoagraphy and the design of clothings/weapons has no excuse than simply it being lazyness or unrespect for the source, specially when we have so exact and specific archological findings of these. Please stop showing Vikings dirty! they were among the cleanest in Europe at the time!

Do a history buffs on Blackkklansman it is such an interesting story

Hey are you going to do a history buffs episode o the Irishman? I think its well needed from peoples comments about the accuracy of the movie

Do zodiac (2007) next

Please do a history buff on 1917!

I really hope History Channel does a Norman's series.
