In this special episode, Playtone executive and producer Kirk Saduski interviews Nuremberg director James Vanderbilt and the film's historical advisor Michael Berenbaum, as well as best-selling author Donald Miller and historian Rebecca Erbelding. The new film Nuremberg follows the story of the Allies, led by the unyielding chief prosecutor, Robert H. Jackson (Michael Shannon), as they endeavor to ensure the Nazi regime answers for the unveiled horrors of the Holocaust—all while a US Army psychiatrist (Rami Malek) is locked in a dramatic psychological duel with former Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe). The film is based on the book The Nazi and the Psychiatrist by Jack El-Hai.
