Band of Brothers Podcast | Episode 5 with Erik Jendresen | HBO Max 
Кино
I just realised, the men of Easy, had been with me every day from the last 20 plus years. Every time things go bad, every time I went for a run, every time I have to do something that challenges me, I just think of them, I think well, just Hang Tough. Their legacy lives on and continues to inspire. AATW!!!
Best series ever! And it's 20 years old. A timeless classic
Only problem with this podcast episode is that it's at least 6 or 7 hours too short. I could listen to Erik talking about the series forever.
This was my favorite episode of the series by far... just the opening shot of gasping and the bayonet flashing into a close-up worth it all
This podcast was excellent because it makes episode 5 so much better now knowing what Winters experienced within his mind. Just riding that train with normal people who aren't killing eacthother but just going through their daily routine must have been terrifying. Unlike Winters daily routine was a game of combat with deadly consequences. Love Band of Brothers!
I say flash - you say thunder! These podcasts are amazing, man. They’ve made me appreciate BoB even more. I can’t believe that was even possible!
32:00 That story, I have a similar one. This comes from my friend Cecil Ford who was Able company 501st at Normandy. He was 17 when he jumped into France. They had survived and were linking up with larger units. He volunteered to go refill canteens for his squad, as he’s walking off down from their position to the river a mortar attack came in and killed all of them. He was the only one left. The outcomes of an act of kindness are unpredictable
When i told some of my clients i was going to Normandy this summer 2 said their fathers landed on Omaha. One on 6/6 in the 10:10 or 10:20 wave (based on the record and his dad’s recollection) and the other D + 1. The first guy wound up at the Bulge was captured with 8 others. In making an escape only he and his captain survived. Unreal
I am realy glad i listen to this .
Theise men truly banded together as a group of brothers . They where truly men , but trained men .something lacking today .
Thankyou .
Can't tell you how much I anticipate each episode, Roger! Thank you!
Excellent episode. Man, I can't wait to see if we get to hear Damian Lewis talk about playing Major Winters. I love every second of these episodes. Currahee!
Damian have to do it. Tom hanks did the podcast so it would be weird if Damian didn’t
I am sure I heard or read somewhere that he will be on one of these podcasts. He may be on the one for the final episode as that is one from Winter’s point of view. Fingers crossed. This has been a great series so far. There is a series of cast interviews on the History Hack channel (no Damian Lewis unfortunately) but they have a lot of the actors all being interviewed as a group and they have many interesting and funny stories to tell about boot camp and filming the series. It is worth a listen.
So amazingly bittersweet and touching. Thanks to EVERYONE involved including viewers
Each episode is a blessing, touches the heart.
Absolutely loved hearing Rodge struggle to fight back the tears as he signed off. Powerful.
This interviewer, or the team is amazing. The setups, the questions and perspectives are top notch. Exceptional.
Thx Erik for your dedication and hard work! I watch this series once a year
The original proposal was for 13 episodes and he didn’t ask what was cut!
I am so loving this! And I am so very thankful to find this! It's November 14th, I somehow found all of this this morning, and I am listening to one episode after another, and I am going to finish all of these episodes before the day is over. As for Band of Brothers, I honestly can't even tell you how many times I've watched that. I still remember watching episode 1 those couple days before 9/11, and I was instantly hooked!
I'm building a Panther model and an M5A1 model listening to Band of Brothers. Awesome.
Is there any of these that won’t bring me to tears?
These podcasts are the highlight on my weeks right now.
Very excited to hear from Damian Lewis. These have been some of the best podcasts I’ve ever heard and I just love the inter-spliced audio and grainy, edited in photos and slide shows. The series has been a major part of my life for maybe the last 14 years or so; from watching it may be a bit too young, at around 12, getting the DVDs and then the Blu-ray. Crossroads, perhaps being my favorite episode, a difficult and emotionally draining watch, and a very important breaking point for Winters in the series. A masterpiece that I think shall go down as the greatest thing put to television. I love the saturated look of the series, all the actors and every line to its dramatic core.
Great interview.. and yes.. continuing serving the story of great men.
I entered this episode thinking who is Eric Jendresen? I want to hear from the actors.
I ended the episode bawling.
I'll be here 😭😭😭
Thank you for doing this. Wonderful examination of the best TV series there ever was.
Wow....that was an impactful interview.
I hope these interviews never end.
Thank you for this, HBO!!
YYYEEEEESSSSS. Love these downloads!!!!!!!
Another fabulous listen. How lucky was Erik to get to know Major Winters so well....
Why wasn’t there more stories told I can’t imagine this- generation fighting a war like this
Love listening to these podcasts to nod off with. Not sure what I’ll do when they end!
You re-listen
This is one of my favorite episodes in the series too: Tom Hanks direction is masterful, so much as the writing and final editing.
I love the final scene in Bastogne: it tells all without a word.
If I should be neat picking I have some doubts about the scene when Winters shoot the German soldier: iirc others in the Company recalled this German threw a grenade towards Winters first, and Winters threw it back before edging the banks and shooting. Besides this German had no weapons on him? How so? It seems this scene should have been filmed in both ways: one as it happened and one as impacted Winters' memory i.e. when he rides in the subway...
I expect another Great Podcast with The Pacific!
Thanks
I love the story Jimmy Fallon tells about being on the show. He couldn't drive stick so the jeep had to be pushed and they had add the engine audio in post.
Coordinates are for where the crossroads are in this episode
Roger Bennett. You are awesome.
Amazing show and amazing podcast!
THANKYOU so so so much
He got so much right. How did he get Pvt. Blythe so wrong?
I remember when I was interviewed for the movie, I told one of the writers that as I shot the German, he looked up at me and smiled. Well, I kept going with my story, but later, as it turns out, the writer wanted to play up the thing about the smile. He wanted to play that up as a flashback, the type of bad flashbacks you can have. I have flashbacks every day. But the writer wanted to play up that point. And that is why in the series that German is portrayed as a kid and why later on when I am in Paris they portray me looking at this kid on the train and having another flashback. It’s stupid, but I didn’t get the chance to review the scenes.
I thought that I had somewhere that the train scene bothered Dick Winters.
Wow. Just wow
My late father's favorite.
Damn, I had a idea of turning band of brothers into a history lesson but you beat me to it
😕 I wish someone would ask Erik what the 3 episodes was going to be about that they had cut. What more could they have told?
Erik said that the veterans told even more stories after the book came out and he had it all on file. I wish HBO could release some of those stories and photos on an anniversary book or something.
Would have been cool if it was a watch along episode.
i like how he always says 'men and women' instead of downplaying or not even referencing the role women played in the war too. that's cool.
Does anyone know what happened to 2nd Lt. George Rice after that scene?
Did he ever make it back with more ammo?
Did he survive the war?
Every one of these I hear...I can't get it out of my head that Roger just may be Nick Hodges from History Buffs...which by the way, if you haven't seen History Buff's take on BoB...its worth it!
I like the HBO intro 👍
Band of Brothers is a awesome series from HBO .I sill may dvd series with tin can opening like a ration can .And watched when first came out at the time .Those old dudes went to hell and back ,and I have reapsct for them ,yup for vets from that war no mater there colour and creed .And when watched the show at time did know there was a real Easy Company .I thought it was made up at time .Since a Sgt Rock ran Easy Company in the comics .from way back in the day ,and at time had hard time fact from fiction .I from the real Easy Company to the one in the comics .
From Oshawa Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Was there any influence from the german drama das boot?
I think this podcast is going to require multiple listens as BoB requires multiple viewings
Winters got no medal for this action I’ve heard. Nada

Wow
Love this podcast, but come on ... too harsh on the vintage war movies. Those movies are true classics and great in their own right. Nothing of that era was portraying, nor capable of portraying real combat. Also, they were clearly for entertainment and morale if made during the war, and after, were just good films. I think it's too harsh to condemn them to the dustbin just because John Wayne portrayed a larger than life character, or the storylines were too positive. They had a purpose, and for the time were probably realistic in a lot of ways. Likewise, there is a fine line between glorifying war versus glorifying your soldiers and history .... that is what I think those films were trying to do largely. But back to the podcast ... love every second. Great stuff! Keep it going after the 10 are finished ... would love to hear this guy just go on about the series.
I dearly love this mini-series. I do have to wonder though, after all the declarations I've heard over the course of several of these podcasts, statements of being true to the story, 'getting it right', how they managed to get some of it wrong? I mean, these interviews, they're telling me, from their mouth, how important and sacred it was for them to do so. They set that bar. And yet, you have something as blatant as reporting that Albert Blythe didn't survive his wounds, or Dick Winters telling that German officer he could keep his side arm. I know Dick kept it, from watching an interview with him saying he kept it and never fired it. You don't have to be a Rhodes scholar to see that, something doesn't match up.
The issue about Blithe was dealt with in a previous episode of the podcast. The writers were relying on the memories and knowledge of the men of Easy who assumed Blithe had died of his injuries. As for the side arm, this is a dramatic retelling of a true story so a relatively small detail such as that was probably changed to serve the story of the episode. The fact is they got most things correct and that is evidenced by the actors stories on this podcast of the veterans responses to watching the episodes and visiting the sets during filming.
Jimmy Fallon, the ONLY bad thing about BoB
He pinned wings on you cuz he loved the series? . 😢
I hate that I now know that jimmy fallon is in this. His politics have turned me off. Of him, not Band of Brothers!
He's in it for about 30 seconds.
@@Caroline-rv8wy I know. I watched it. That’s why I can say what I did. I don’t like him or his politics. I love Band of Brothers. I will just ignore him
SECOND!
This whole podcast could have been infinitely better with someone else hosting it. Roger’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard to me, the way he chooses to emphasise certain parts of words, stretching them out… it ruins a great concept and makes it difficult to enjoy listening to the people I actually want to hear from.
I like everything about this series except Roger Bennet. He is way to over the top for my taste. I don’t know him or his work. But he needs to tone down. I’m going to have to stop watching this, and pick it up later. Such an odd choice for this series!!
