Holy crap. The Gray House entered Sunday as the #7 series on Prime Video. #HATM did the watch party last night. Now? It’s at #5.

YOU GUYS MOVED THE FREAKING NEEDLE.

I love y’all so damn much. Thank you.

Hey everyone, if you watched The Gray House over the weekend, what were your thoughts? #HATM

I'm still thinking about #TheGrayHouse from Sunday's #HATM. Ben Vereen's character has stayed with me the most. What hellscape had Isham Worthy endured over his life? Who was his mother? He is wise, tender hearted, and highly esteemed, which is quite the contrast to the horror he lived through.

'The Pitt's' Rape Kit Storyline is Quietly Revolutionary The show’s real-time storytelling gives viewers a startling look at a process rarely captured on TV.

I posted about Katherine LaNasa’s performance as Dana Evans on The Pitt recently during this episode. But equally powerful was Tina Ivlev. I lack the ability to speak to performances about sexual assault so I was moved when I read this by @judyberman.bsky.social. TW.

Hey everyone, it was a big night tonight. For the first time ever, a Hollywood production company asked us to help promote a series. And y’all came out and did it. I’ve said this for 7 1/2 years but Historians At The Movies belong to all of us. This was a real win for #HATM.

See you tomorrow.

And that’s a wrap here at Historians At The Movies! Thanks to everyone for coming out tonight! And a huge shout out to @benvereen.bsky.social for watching with us! Stay tuned for next week’s #HATM film announcement!

The Rathbones don’t get enough coverage when we tell the story of Lincoln’s assassination either. #HATM

This set up wasn’t uncommon in the American colonies & then the early republic. A widow could inherit for her use but only until her death when β€œproperty” passed on to the true heir. #HATM

To be clear, Elizabeth Van Lew's father did NOT emancipate them when he died. He left his enslaved people to his wife Eliza. He later added a codicil revoking her full control saying they were to pass to their children upon her death. #HATM
