You're listening to the Todd and Tyler Radio Empire.

You have been brought in to inspect and ensure the prisoner's mental health should that trial go forward.

Suicide. That'll be the main concern with most of the prisoners.

Hitler, Gerbils, and Himmler have already taken their own lives. We cannot afford any more losses. The one you'll have to watch the closest is Gehring. Gering? Why isn't Herman Gurring? That's the one. Herman Gurring's here? Sergeant, is it possible the Major suffered a large blow to his head on the way to my office? Not that I'm aware of, sir. Sorry.

It's just a lot of the process. I'm sure it is. Try and do it faster. Yes, sir. The movie is Nuremberg. It'll be out in theaters a week from Friday, and it stars this man. John Slattery joining us. Welcome, sir. Thanks, John. Thank you. Intent stuff.

This sounds incredible.

I mean, we know a little bit by the history, obviously.

Who doesn't?

But maybe not in depth like this.

Did you know how in depth this was when you took the script?

Well, I mean, I, when I read it, the interesting part of the story is the angle with which it's told is about a psychiatrist played by Rami Malik, whose job it was to determine the, the fitness,

mental and physical fitness to stand trial of these, these prisoners, the chief of which was Herman Garing, played by Russell Crow.

So it's this kind of surrounds this relationship between the two of them and what the nature

of evil is and how these crimes were allowed to take place and the fact that they had to show

the world what had happened.

And your role is, who do you play in this again?

I play a gentleman named Colonel Burton Andrus, who was the warden of the prison,

whose job it was to keep these prisoners alive.

As I say earlier in the early going in the movie, Hitler had killed himself,

Goebbels, Himmler, by eating cyanide or other forms of suicide, and it was trying to keep these guys alive to put them on trial, again, show the world what they'd done. Was your character a real person? Yeah, they all, all these characters. Well, I figured they were. I figured they were. So sometimes know if you, so sometimes it'll take a, take liberties.

But so, yeah, no, this was, some of them were composite. But yes, this is, this was a real, um, a soldier who had had a decorated, long, decorated military career whose job, this assignment was really difficult. I mean, everybody, the world was watching and they couldn't afford to make any mistakes.

When you're doing your research on something historical like this, did anything jump out at you, surprise you?
