I had not realized until tonight how early exposure to The Blues Brothers (1980) teaches a person to recognize Nazi dogwhistles, but I was linked to this article about a pseudo-Celtic fascist-prop TV series in attempted development and as soon as I read that "our present filmmaker froths about the Globalist Multicultural Romans bringing African soldiers over to oppress the Britons," I heard Henry Gibson through a bullhorn: "White men, white women, the swastika is calling you . . . The Jew is using the Black as muscle against you." Illinois Nazis.

Not the same folks, but someone pointed out on twitter the other day that the casting of Denzel Washington as Macbeth doesn't make sense because there weren't Black people in Scotland.

Thus demonstrating a buy-one-get-one-free willful ignorance of both history and theater. Of course someone did.

If you want a non-Nazi Celtic-esque mash-up, I recommend Roar, where recommend mostly means I wanted Heath Ledger's hair. I kinda still do

I don't think I even knew this show existed!

Much more recently, I have heard fun things about Britannia (2018–).
