192. Errol Flynn - Swashbuckling Scoundrel · Who Did What Now With Katie Charlwood

0:12
Speaker 1: Hello, delicious friends, and welcome to Who Did What Now?
0:17
Speaker 1: The history podcast that is not your history class with me,
0:21
Speaker 1: your host, Katie Charlwood, History Harlotte and reader of books.
0:27
Speaker 1: My body is finally readjusting to being back in the country.
0:31
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, jet lag is a bit let me
0:34
Speaker 1: tell you, Like I thought it was a really smart idea.
0:38
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. I wouldn't have it any other way, actually,
0:41
Speaker 1: is I literally get back on Monday, and I go
0:44
Speaker 1: back to work on the Tuesday, so like fly across
0:48
Speaker 1: the Atlantic, lose a day effectively, and then just go
0:51
Speaker 1: straight to work. Like my idea was that if I
0:55
Speaker 1: do this, then I won't like force my body into
1:00
Speaker 1: some weird cycle and I'll just make it like readjust
1:04
Speaker 1: basically like doning it off and on again. I'm like,
1:07
Speaker 1: let's rebook this as quickly as possible. And I just
1:12
Speaker 1: kind of thought that would be a better idea. Now
1:15
Speaker 1: I realized something recently because I was listening to a
1:19
Speaker 1: lot of podcasts because I listen to more podcasts when
1:21
Speaker 1: I travel, which oh it's so good actually, because there's
1:26
Speaker 1: so many that I need to catch up on, and
1:28
Speaker 1: because I'm so busy because a lot of the time
1:31
Speaker 1: i'm reading or I'm writing, I don't get a chance
1:33
Speaker 1: to like listen to a lot of stuff. And yeah,
1:39
Speaker 1: I realized that I used to have a disclaimer at
1:42
Speaker 1: the beginning of episodes like way back because history, as
1:46
Speaker 1: a general rule is full of quite a lot of
1:49
Speaker 1: horrible stuff which some listeners may find disturbing. And this
1:54
Speaker 1: week I'm talking about a man from history, which is
1:58
Speaker 1: what reminded me of it more so, because yeah, if
2:03
Speaker 1: you don't want to hear about misogyny, tyranny, sexual assault,
2:07
Speaker 1: or a historian who swears like a sailor, you might
2:10
Speaker 1: want to exit stage left. So like, there's this is
2:14
Speaker 1: a content warning, blanket warning, like it's going to get bad,
2:19
Speaker 1: Like it's gonna get bad, Like I'm gonna talk about
2:21
Speaker 1: horrible things and so many venereal diseases. But yes, I
2:27
Speaker 1: do have news. I know some of you have been
2:29
Speaker 1: waiting a while for this, who have known this for
2:32
Speaker 1: a while and are like, finally, Kerry, But my new
2:36
Speaker 1: limited series podcast is dropping this week. Day and Nightshade
2:41
Speaker 1: is a project very very dear to my heart and
2:44
Speaker 1: my friend and co hosts Jay Well. Oh we both
2:49
Speaker 1: really love poison, like we know far too much about
2:52
Speaker 1: poison for regular humans who don't use it in their
2:56
Speaker 1: day to day lives. And that's the story we're sticking with.
3:00
Speaker 1: And the first episode will be dropping here and it
3:04
Speaker 1: is a little different to Who Did What Now, But
3:06
Speaker 1: I do hope you like it. It is a labor
3:08
Speaker 1: of love for me, and I do hope you're enjoying
3:13
Speaker 1: the less heavy month of history because next month, next month,
3:18
Speaker 1: I'm back on education mode because some people don't know shit,
3:24
Speaker 1: and also don't know about fascism, it seems. But anyway,
3:28
Speaker 1: I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Katie, quite your
3:31
Speaker 1: jibbel dabba, in fact me, In fact you, I will.

Speaker 1: course we have our old favorites Biography dot com and
4:36
Speaker 1: History dot com. So now the question is iosid in
4:41
Speaker 1: comfortably good, then let's begin. Errol Leslie Thomas Flynn was
4:48
Speaker 1: born on the twentieth of June nineteen oh nine at
4:51
Speaker 1: the Queen Alexandra Hospital in Battery Point, Tasmania, somewhat geographically challenged.
5:00
Speaker 1: Tasmania is an island that is part of Australia. Well,
5:04
Speaker 1: it's an island state. There's Tasmania, which is like the
5:08
Speaker 1: Big Island and like thousands of other wee islands around it. Right,
5:12
Speaker 1: It's about one hundred and fifty miles south of mainland Australia,
5:16
Speaker 1: and most importantly of all is the home of the
5:20
Speaker 1: Tasmanian devil, a carnivorous marsupial, which is endangered by the
5:25
Speaker 1: way cideber. I have such a soft spot for animals
5:30
Speaker 1: that are little shits, you know, I do. I love
5:34
Speaker 1: them so much like I have great joy in my
5:37
Speaker 1: heart for Tasmanian devils, the honey badger, Canadian and the
5:43
Speaker 1: other kind, mute swans, male comedians that are actually funny, crawls, casseries,
5:50
Speaker 1: and other such creatures. I just I just love them
5:55
Speaker 1: so much anyway. Errol Leslie Thomas Flynn was born five
6:00
Speaker 1: months after the marriage of his parents, Theodore Thompson Flynn,
6:04
Speaker 1: a biologist and zoologist, and Marel so Morel was born
6:11
Speaker 1: Lily Mary Young that changed her name after marrying, which
6:15
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, if you're gonna change half your name,
6:18
Speaker 1: you may as well change all of it, right, sidebar,
6:22
Speaker 1: I know, two sidebars? This soon shut up, Okay. I
6:26
Speaker 1: have seen so much discourse in the last week about
6:30
Speaker 1: whether or not you should take your spouse's surname. Like
6:33
Speaker 1: it's such a weird argument to have. And I say
6:38
Speaker 1: this as someone whose surname is like four generations in existence. Right,
6:42
Speaker 1: it's it's made up, it's pretend. And here's the thing, Like,
6:48
Speaker 1: there is an argument, and I don't understand why, because
6:53
Speaker 1: there are two very very reasonable options for how to
6:57
Speaker 1: choose the surname. One you choose the name that is
7:01
Speaker 1: either cooler or easier to spell, and that's for both spouses, right,
7:05
Speaker 1: I don't care. You know what variation of salt and pepper.
7:09
Speaker 1: You are right, doesn't matter because you just have whatever
7:13
Speaker 1: name is either really cool or easier to spell. This
7:17
Speaker 1: is just the how you go through life, right, Which
7:20
Speaker 1: one is going to be easier shouted when you're at
7:23
Speaker 1: the restaurant picking up your takeaway dinner? Or which one
7:26
Speaker 1: is going to sound really cool? You know, as they
7:28
Speaker 1: say it on the intercom, so you to catch your flight?
7:31
Speaker 1: Which one? And of course option two you each select
7:34
Speaker 1: a champion and then they fight to the death, and
7:37
Speaker 1: whoever is still alive at the end. Your name winds easy, peasy.
7:42
Speaker 1: I mean, you can always just like choose a name.
7:45
Speaker 1: You can put it through a Wu Tang clan generator
7:47
Speaker 1: or something figure it out. I mean, that's mystery door
7:51
Speaker 1: number three. But anyway, Morrell I saw, like at one
7:57
Speaker 1: point I was I've ridd a lot of stuff about
7:59
Speaker 1: this women, like she's named as an adventuress, and frankly,
8:05
Speaker 1: I don't need to dive any deeper into that because
8:07
Speaker 1: I've decided that's good enough. I'm like adventurous sure, Like,
8:13
Speaker 1: I just love that as a title. She was an
8:16
Speaker 1: adventurous cool. Now Eerl is actually really really mad when
8:24
Speaker 1: he realizes that he was conceived out of wedlock, except
8:29
Speaker 1: his issue is specifically that his mum had premarital sex.
8:34
Speaker 1: Like your dad did too, buddy, Like that's how you're here,
8:38
Speaker 1: Like what in the double standards? Like Errol, he has
8:44
Speaker 1: such hatred and victoriol towards his mother, which a lot
8:48
Speaker 1: of the time fair enough. However, that doesn't carry through
8:53
Speaker 1: to his father. He doesn't treat them in the same way. Now,
8:57
Speaker 1: it could be the fact that she was the primary
8:59
Speaker 1: caregiver and he was a well lot, but we'll get
9:02
Speaker 1: into that in a moment. Errol Leslie Thompson Flynn, listen.
9:09
Speaker 1: He has so many names. Every now and again I
9:11
Speaker 1: like to say them all. He was the first of
9:14
Speaker 1: two children born to the couple. He had a sister,
9:19
Speaker 1: Norah Rosemary Flynn, who would follow a decade later. So Theodore.
9:26
Speaker 1: Errol's father was the very first biology professor in Tasmania.
9:33
Speaker 1: Like he was a smart okay, and he was often
9:37
Speaker 1: away for work. Like he was away just so much. Now.
9:43
Speaker 1: Erle would say that his maternal side they were seafaring
9:48
Speaker 1: in heritage, which honey, sweary sugar dumplin. Okay, listen, if
9:57
Speaker 1: you were in Australia, at the turn of the twentieth
10:00
Speaker 1: century and you're white. The seafaring you're referring to is
10:06
Speaker 1: a penal ship. That would be a ship of criminals,
10:10
Speaker 1: not a ship of penises. Well, Gimsie Gamsa, Okay, okay, okay,
10:18
Speaker 1: I'm not here to insult a bunch of colonizers. I'm
10:22
Speaker 1: just saying that if you happen to be a person
10:24
Speaker 1: whose natural skin tone resembles raw chicken in a country
10:28
Speaker 1: in the southern Hemisphere that is known for having the
10:31
Speaker 1: hottest summer climate and highest sunshine duration, well chances are
10:37
Speaker 1: your ancestors arrived on a convict ship, although you know,
10:43
Speaker 1: Irish people nowadays just show up on a gap year.
10:46
Speaker 1: But Theodore, being a biologist and zoologist, he really liked
10:52
Speaker 1: them animals. Though, oh, I'm so glad Australians can take
10:56
Speaker 1: a joke now. Honestly, if I had said that to
10:59
Speaker 1: so people, they would have got like so zuber vetted.
11:02
Speaker 1: But Australians would have been like ha ha maybe. But
11:07
Speaker 1: yet Theodore, being a biologist and zoologist, he kept a
11:11
Speaker 1: whole array of animals in the garden, which for a
11:14
Speaker 1: child was pretty cool. Like he had a whole host
11:18
Speaker 1: of animals, like from marsupials to like the tassy targer.
11:24
Speaker 1: That was a weird way to say it, Targer, the
11:27
Speaker 1: targer is that the tassy tiger. Again, Errol never talked
11:38
Speaker 1: about his father the same way that he talked about
11:41
Speaker 1: his mother, Like there's never the same disdain there now.
11:47
Speaker 1: I am not saying that Morel was mother of the year,
11:49
Speaker 1: because she was not. But she was a young woman,
11:55
Speaker 1: you know, in the early twentieth century, whose husband was
11:58
Speaker 1: often absent in a time where Carl Perol punishment was
12:02
Speaker 1: the norm, and Flynn, Errol Flynn would often refer to
12:08
Speaker 1: his mother Morel as a cunt. He was often beaten
12:13
Speaker 1: as a child. Again, corporal punishment was the norm. I
12:18
Speaker 1: am not saying it was good. I'm not saying it's acceptable.
12:22
Speaker 1: I'm just saying it's what people did now, Like they
12:29
Speaker 1: used to hit you in school if you wrote with
12:31
Speaker 1: your left hand, like you would get beaten with a cane,
12:35
Speaker 1: Like it was so normal up until what the sixties seventies, Like,
12:41
Speaker 1: I mean that went on further in some establishments, Catholic skills,
12:46
Speaker 1: but it continued for a long time. So when Errol
12:51
Speaker 1: was seven years old, his mum caught him and his
12:55
Speaker 1: neighbor playing doctor, and by playing doctor, I mean they
12:59
Speaker 1: were showing each other their genitals. He said. She gave
13:03
Speaker 1: him a good thrashing, which translated is she whooped his ass.
13:12
Speaker 1: As a result of the scalping, he ran away, only
13:16
Speaker 1: to be returned three days later by farmers when he
13:19
Speaker 1: came by looking for work. I'm seven, I can totally
13:23
Speaker 1: work on your farm. Parents, and what parents don't ask
13:26
Speaker 1: about zoology. So he spent a lot of time at
13:32
Speaker 1: the pictures as a kid. So the cinema. So when
13:36
Speaker 1: I was little in Scotland, we used to call it
13:39
Speaker 1: the pictures. I still call it the pictures. Clearly, it's
13:42
Speaker 1: the moving pictures. It's it's cool. Like I still see
13:47
Speaker 1: going to the pictures as a treat. I like going
13:49
Speaker 1: to the pictures. I like going there and having my
13:52
Speaker 1: popcorn in my ridiculously oversized carbonated beverage and watching a
13:57
Speaker 1: movie with friends or myself or on a debt. I'm
14:02
Speaker 1: just saying cinema dates are under rated. But I digress.
14:07
Speaker 1: So he ends up spending a lot of the time
14:09
Speaker 1: at the cinema because his mum was shagging the owner
14:16
Speaker 1: of the local cinema, so he would get to see
14:19
Speaker 1: all the films for free. So basically what would happen
14:23
Speaker 1: is like he would come over, he'd pick up Morell
14:27
Speaker 1: and Errol and then drop Errol off at the cinema
14:31
Speaker 1: and then go out and they would boink. So yeah,
14:35
Speaker 1: it seems like both Errol and Morrell never got the
14:39
Speaker 1: attention and affection that they wanted from Theodore, who only
14:43
Speaker 1: seemed to get excited about University of funding and the
14:46
Speaker 1: reproductive systems of Australian mussupials. And I also want to
14:51
Speaker 1: point out that while Morel was having her affairs at home,
14:55
Speaker 1: Theodore was having his affairs away like he was constantly
14:59
Speaker 1: out shagged about, Like I know what you're thinking, a biologist,
15:03
Speaker 1: Really that nerd is getting all the women apparently. So now,
15:09
Speaker 1: Theodore clearly very intelligent, and Earl, although not a dunce,
15:15
Speaker 1: struggled in school. And I say struggled because he went
15:20
Speaker 1: to a few of them. So he was at the
15:23
Speaker 1: Hutchins School, the Friend's School, a we're a primary school.
15:28
Speaker 1: Like his behavior resulted in him being expelled from all
15:32
Speaker 1: of them. Now I'm honestly in the mindset actually that
15:39
Speaker 1: if Errol Flynn had not become an actor in Taken that,
15:42
Speaker 1: like Root and Life, he would have probably just become
15:44
Speaker 1: a serial killer. And you might be thinking, Katie, that's
15:48
Speaker 1: a very harsh line to say about, you know, a
15:52
Speaker 1: swashbuckling hero. Well did you ever hear about the time
15:58
Speaker 1: that he made a human set paid of ducks? Okay?
16:04
Speaker 1: So he is like surrounded by all these animals and
16:06
Speaker 1: he's like, this is really interesting, and there's a bunch
16:09
Speaker 1: of bloody ducks around, and he notices that if ducks
16:14
Speaker 1: eat fatty pork, it basically runs through them like super quickly.
16:19
Speaker 1: It just goes tother digestive system right in one end
16:23
Speaker 1: and out the other. And so he ends up tying
16:26
Speaker 1: the fatty pork to a piece of string. This piece
16:29
Speaker 1: of string I think is like ten feet long. So yeah,
16:32
Speaker 1: he feeds it to a duck and then to another duck,
16:36
Speaker 1: so it's going duck after duck, and it basically creates
16:41
Speaker 1: again just ask to mouth. He's just got sorry, beak
16:45
Speaker 1: to tail, beak to butt, beak to butt. He has
16:49
Speaker 1: this just like chain of ducks, right, and he shows
16:57
Speaker 1: this to other children, like he's all proud of himself,
16:59
Speaker 1: And I mean one could argue entrepreneur. You could also
17:05
Speaker 1: argue beginning of serial killer. So he's like charging children
17:10
Speaker 1: to come and see his duc apede. Right, there's just this,
17:15
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, this party chain of ducks. And when
17:21
Speaker 1: his father returns, Teddy Boy sees what he's done, and
17:26
Speaker 1: he is so incensed that he beats him with his brolly. Right,
17:31
Speaker 1: he hits him so hard that the umbrella breaks when
17:35
Speaker 1: it hits across his back. And this is a child, okay,
17:40
Speaker 1: Like that's not a strong like space. Those bones are
17:44
Speaker 1: still forming, so yeah, he does not horrible things. Also,
17:52
Speaker 1: as a child, like he starts acting, so he has
17:55
Speaker 1: acting or a serial killer. I'm just saying. Because when
17:59
Speaker 1: he's nine, he performs as a page boy to Enid
18:03
Speaker 1: Lyons in a Queen carnival. So Dame Enid would go
18:08
Speaker 1: on to be an Australian politician. Now she's I think
18:12
Speaker 1: best known for being like the wife of the Prime minister,
18:15
Speaker 1: but she was a fairly decent politician in her own right.
18:20
Speaker 1: But in this performance, right that he's playing her page,
18:26
Speaker 1: they come third in the carnival. So like that doesn't win. Now,
18:33
Speaker 1: when he is ten years old, his little sister Norah
18:36
Speaker 1: is born. Now I am not here to argue parentage
18:42
Speaker 1: of Norah. Whom's to say? But oh, oh my goodness,
18:47
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, actor or serial killer, I totally forgot. Okay,
18:50
Speaker 1: So Errol is a child. He is a child. The
18:53
Speaker 1: family has a puppy, right, it is a little terrier,
18:58
Speaker 1: a fox terrier if I'm not taken, and it bites
19:01
Speaker 1: him because it's a fucking puppy, and puppies bite. Okay.
19:05
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's because they need to chew things. Sometimes it's
19:08
Speaker 1: because they're just snippy little shits. Okay again, soft spot
19:11
Speaker 1: for little bastard animals. So the puppy bites him, and
19:17
Speaker 1: when it bites him, Aero Flynn throws it, and the
19:23
Speaker 1: pop lands in the fireplace with the lit fire. Accidentally,
19:30
Speaker 1: he throws a live puppy into a fire. Right, I
19:35
Speaker 1: told you. It just gets worse from here, guys, Okay,
19:39
Speaker 1: so right, you will never look at Robin Hood in
19:43
Speaker 1: the same way again. Right, So moving on, When Aero
19:49
Speaker 1: Flynn is twelve years old, he loses his virginity to
19:54
Speaker 1: the family. Made Now, I don't want to be a
19:57
Speaker 1: prude here, but also that's for fucking rape. Okay, that's
20:03
Speaker 1: that's not cool. That's twelve. That is a child. Okay, no,
20:07
Speaker 1: that's not okay. I'm no, I'm not gonna get incensed
20:12
Speaker 1: over this, because I will, but that's not fucking cool.
20:17
Speaker 1: But yeah, he loses his virginity to the family maid
20:20
Speaker 1: and I disgusts me so much. So anyway, the family
20:27
Speaker 1: move around a bit between affairs and work and the
20:31
Speaker 1: fact that Errol keeps getting expelled, so he ends up
20:35
Speaker 1: going to the Southwest London College for two years. It
20:39
Speaker 1: is a private boarding school in London. And this is
20:44
Speaker 1: during this time, like, this is where his mother and
20:48
Speaker 1: sister I think moved to France for a bit because
20:51
Speaker 1: they're just like, no, we're done Theodore. So they just
20:55
Speaker 1: kind of go for a bit. They do reconcile later
20:59
Speaker 1: and they it is kind of it's a back and
21:01
Speaker 1: forth situation. But yeah, when Errol is about sixteen seventeen
21:06
Speaker 1: years old, he is back in Australia at Shore sho
21:11
Speaker 1: R which was the Sydney Church of England Grammar School,
21:17
Speaker 1: which I'm going to be shocked. He is also expelled
21:20
Speaker 1: from right like he claims that he was getting a
21:26
Speaker 1: scrub a dumb dub with the school lawn dress, but
21:30
Speaker 1: in actual fact he stalls it theft. He was expelled
21:35
Speaker 1: because of theft, and he tries to make it seem
21:38
Speaker 1: like it was because he was just this Don Juan situation,
21:42
Speaker 1: but not. He stole crap, He was a thief. He
21:46
Speaker 1: got expelled, and that is how he ends up looking
21:52
Speaker 1: for a new route in life. Errol Flynn is seventeen
22:03
Speaker 1: years old and it seems that he's ran out of
22:06
Speaker 1: educational establishments across two continents, and so he decides maybe
22:12
Speaker 1: education is not for him, and he gets a job
22:16
Speaker 1: with a buddy he met while staying with relatives in Sydney,
22:20
Speaker 1: Kenneth Hunter Care, a wealthy socialite. They got on. They
22:26
Speaker 1: were really good buddies because they both liked pretty girls
22:29
Speaker 1: and playing tennis, which, as male friendships go, is a
22:33
Speaker 1: pretty solid base. Kenneth doing his bro a solid gets
22:39
Speaker 1: him a job with a shipping company. Basically it's importing exporting,
22:45
Speaker 1: mainly importing, and he's working for them. However, Errow gets
22:51
Speaker 1: fired for stealing because he pilfered the petty cash. Like
22:57
Speaker 1: you have a good thing going, like you have it ready, job,
23:01
Speaker 1: You're friends with a socialite. So you're getting access to
23:04
Speaker 1: all the good places and you're still stealing shit like
23:09
Speaker 1: not a wise man, I shall say. So, he's like
23:14
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what to do next, and another
23:16
Speaker 1: friend convinces him to join one of the razor street
23:20
Speaker 1: gangs in Sydney. Now, on a scale of one to
23:25
Speaker 1: invading Russia in the winter, how stupid is this idea
23:29
Speaker 1: because it's joining a razor gang in Sydney. Right the
23:37
Speaker 1: very first week that they are in this razor gang,
23:41
Speaker 1: his friend is accused of being a rat and shows
23:45
Speaker 1: up dead in an actual gutter. You know when your
23:49
Speaker 1: parents would be like, you could end up in the gutter.
23:51
Speaker 1: This is what they fucking mean. He was gutted in
23:53
Speaker 1: the gutter with his throat cut with a razor. I
23:57
Speaker 1: know you're shocked that the Razor gang would do such
24:00
Speaker 1: a thing. Needless to say, Errol, although again not the
24:06
Speaker 1: sharpest spoon in the cutlery drawer, was smart enough to
24:10
Speaker 1: not want to get murdered by a razor gang and
24:14
Speaker 1: have his mutilated corpse dumped in a gutter. And so
24:17
Speaker 1: he decides to get the heck out of Dodge. So
24:22
Speaker 1: he tries to do a bunch of stuff and then
24:25
Speaker 1: settles into classic colonialism for five years. He's in Papua
24:32
Speaker 1: New Guinea. According to Errol, he was a boat captain,
24:37
Speaker 1: a fisherman because he may be beautiful, but they're keeping
24:41
Speaker 1: his ideas on file in a filing cabinet. He's a
24:46
Speaker 1: tobacco farmer, a failed gold prospector, and he even had
24:51
Speaker 1: a stint in the colonial government until he lost his
24:56
Speaker 1: job because he was shagging someone's wife and then got
24:59
Speaker 1: into a public fight with said husband. Right, so he
25:04
Speaker 1: was like some government lackey. He was doing bits and
25:06
Speaker 1: pieces and being him shag somebody's wife. Now he also
25:13
Speaker 1: starts contracting malaria, so it does become recurrent, but like
25:18
Speaker 1: this is the starting point for it. Now, yes, it
25:24
Speaker 1: does get worse by the way it always gets worse.
25:29
Speaker 1: By his own admission, he acted as and I quote
25:34
Speaker 1: slave recruiter, slave recruiter. Now, okay, I'm not entirely sure
25:44
Speaker 1: that one can recruit people for slavery, because it I'm
25:50
Speaker 1: fairly certain that it's more like actually just enslaving people.
25:56
Speaker 1: Like at one point he purchases an indigenous girl to
26:00
Speaker 1: be his servant, but he also slept with her right,
26:06
Speaker 1: the person with no rights and who could not consent.
26:10
Speaker 1: Now there's a word for this. I feel like there's
26:13
Speaker 1: a term which covers this specifically. Yeah. Yeah, So Aeroflynn
26:21
Speaker 1: claims that he fled New Guinea after being ambushed in
26:24
Speaker 1: the jungle. His assistant was murdered, and Flynn shot one
26:28
Speaker 1: of his ambushers. Like one of these raiders, he shoots
26:31
Speaker 1: them in self defense. He goes on to claim that
26:35
Speaker 1: he was arrested and charged with murder, only to be
26:37
Speaker 1: saved by the testimony of an old gold prospector. It
26:44
Speaker 1: really does sound like an adventuring story, doesn't it. That's
26:49
Speaker 1: probably because he fucking was one. See, it was not
26:54
Speaker 1: an ambush and murder trial that sent him packing. No,
26:58
Speaker 1: the reason that Aeroflyn left Papa, New Guinea was because
27:03
Speaker 1: he contracted gonor rhea. That's right, his pain has got diseases. See,
27:10
Speaker 1: when he was a cadet patrol officer, when he was
27:14
Speaker 1: at the coconut plantation, he would not do his job. No,
27:19
Speaker 1: he'd ride around, get drunk, go swimming, visit brothels, and
27:24
Speaker 1: then all of his other tom fuckery. No wonder he
27:29
Speaker 1: contracted a sexually transmitted infection. Oh, and in the middle
27:36
Speaker 1: of this right whole scenario, he gets engaged to Naomi
27:41
Speaker 1: Campbell Dibbs. They don't marry, but they are engaged for
27:45
Speaker 1: a time. Right. So this pen is disease, right, his
27:51
Speaker 1: goner rhea. It is curing an era, which is before
27:56
Speaker 1: like antibiotic treatment. Right, So he's getting the good old
28:03
Speaker 1: treatment of permanganate of potash injected directly into his urethra.
28:13
Speaker 1: He thought that if you took double the dose it
28:17
Speaker 1: would cure faster, but that's not how menacing works. No,
28:22
Speaker 1: So yeah, he almost blew out his bladder because he
28:26
Speaker 1: was like, just keep putting more up there. So yeah, yeah,
28:31
Speaker 1: this lasted months and he had to go through this
28:35
Speaker 1: very painful treatment four months on end, and yet he
28:41
Speaker 1: never learnt his lesson. Back in Sydney, Errol Flynn has
28:46
Speaker 1: somehow offered a lead role in an Australian film in
28:52
Speaker 1: the wake of the Bounty Now. He claims that he
28:57
Speaker 1: was sailing to New Guinea with a executive who was
29:01
Speaker 1: looking to shoot b roll footage, and this executive who
29:05
Speaker 1: is doing all this work and a cameraman. He takes
29:10
Speaker 1: one look at the dashing boat captain and goes he
29:13
Speaker 1: has a face for the moving pictures, and so he's like,
29:18
Speaker 1: look at this hot young captain. I have to put
29:20
Speaker 1: him in a film. So he's in this and the
29:24
Speaker 1: reviews are not great, both for the movie itself and
29:29
Speaker 1: also his acting. Now he is playing Fletcher Christian and
29:35
Speaker 1: this sparked the acting bug in him, not playing enid
29:39
Speaker 1: Lyon's page way back when he was nine. No no, no, no,
29:42
Speaker 1: this is it. This is where it comes from. But
29:46
Speaker 1: before he tries his hand in acting, he heads back
29:50
Speaker 1: to Sydney for a love affair with an older woman
29:54
Speaker 1: whose name is Madge. Now, he admittedly could not keep
30:00
Speaker 1: up with Madge's sexual demands. Basically, she had a voracious
30:05
Speaker 1: appetite and he could not satiate her, and so he
30:10
Speaker 1: decides to leave her while also relieving her of her jewels.
30:16
Speaker 1: Now he absconce as one does, but the police, they
30:22
Speaker 1: actually do catch up with him. Unfortunately they cannot find
30:26
Speaker 1: the jewels. Now he had hidden them in sort of
30:31
Speaker 1: a hollowed out like shaving brush. So back in the
30:36
Speaker 1: olden days, right, men used to use a soap bar
30:40
Speaker 1: and this little dense brush if you wear make up,
30:43
Speaker 1: kind of like a kabooket brush kind of that's sort
30:47
Speaker 1: of sort of with like a dense little brush. So
30:50
Speaker 1: they would soap it up and lather up and soap
30:52
Speaker 1: up for faces, like, I am doing the movements here
30:55
Speaker 1: as if you can see me. I know you can't
30:57
Speaker 1: because this is an audio format. But no, so it's
31:01
Speaker 1: just like lathering up the face so that they can shave,
31:04
Speaker 1: because you need that sort of lather. So he had
31:09
Speaker 1: it hauled out and he had the jewels hidden in there,
31:13
Speaker 1: so they don't arrest him because they're like, no jewels,
31:17
Speaker 1: no crime. He makes his way to Queensland and gets
31:21
Speaker 1: work as a sheep dagger, which is someone who castrates sheep,
31:27
Speaker 1: just in case you didn't know that inflammation. He manages
31:32
Speaker 1: to lose this job too. He is fired from this
31:34
Speaker 1: after he is caught in bed with the farmer's daughter.
31:41
Speaker 1: It's almost as if history keeps repeating. It's almost as
31:46
Speaker 1: if he is not learning from his mistakes. So he flees,
31:53
Speaker 1: and as he leaves he meets a new friend and
31:57
Speaker 1: lifelong friend, doctor Herman Urbin. Right, So these guys are
32:04
Speaker 1: thick as thieves, which is good because they are See
32:09
Speaker 1: here's the thing. They get to the Philippines They've been
32:13
Speaker 1: traveling all over the globe. Right, they're in brothels, they're
32:15
Speaker 1: in bars, they're gay in that loll day. Right. They
32:19
Speaker 1: get to the Philippines and get involved in cock fights,
32:24
Speaker 1: don't so yeah, Doctor Urbin suggests that they lace a
32:29
Speaker 1: rooster's beak with snake venom and rig fights to scam money,
32:35
Speaker 1: and Earl, who does not have a moral compass or
32:39
Speaker 1: a backbone, is like, sure, typically it would take a
32:43
Speaker 1: few minutes to work, so naturally people assumed that the
32:48
Speaker 1: contending rooster died from their injuries, right, so they get pecked.
32:52
Speaker 1: The venom would take a while to go through their system,
32:54
Speaker 1: and then they die, and they're like, oh no, this
32:58
Speaker 1: rooster lost. Now, this was how things were going, and
33:03
Speaker 1: things were going well until suddenly, and without warning, one
33:09
Speaker 1: cock died immediately after being picked. The scam was uncovered
33:15
Speaker 1: and they were ran out of town. They make their
33:19
Speaker 1: way to Macaw, where a beautiful scammer and a casino
33:23
Speaker 1: tricked Errol out of his winnings and introduced him to opium.
33:28
Speaker 1: So yeah, now he got his shit stolen, and honestly,
33:31
Speaker 1: good for her. He and doctor Urban both joined and
33:35
Speaker 1: affected from the Royal Hong Kong Army volunteers. That was
33:40
Speaker 1: a choice at some point. I believe it's in Vietnam.
33:46
Speaker 1: Errol Flynn contracts Vady, which he calls the Peril of
33:51
Speaker 1: Grape Rice. Luckily he has a doctor with him. They
33:57
Speaker 1: get chucked off his ship in Sri Lanka because he
34:00
Speaker 1: was shagging someone's wife. Again, you're shocked in fringe. So Maleyland,
34:08
Speaker 1: which is now Djibouti, he starts a fight with customs officials,
34:14
Speaker 1: because of course he does. They make their way through
34:18
Speaker 1: Ethiopia and Morocco before finally arriving in England. So like
34:22
Speaker 1: they split ways at some point during this Now he
34:26
Speaker 1: goes from Morocco to England. So clearly this is missing
34:31
Speaker 1: from a lot of the information. So did he go
34:34
Speaker 1: through France? Did he sail around the Mediterranean? Because him
34:38
Speaker 1: and doctor Herman, who's again an Austrian doctor in the
34:45
Speaker 1: early twentieth century, they split ways and so off he goes.
34:51
Speaker 1: He get to England and Aero Flynn manages to get
34:55
Speaker 1: work as a stage actor with the Northampton Repertory Company,
35:01
Speaker 1: which was for a while up until he threw a
35:07
Speaker 1: female stage manager down a stairwell like no, you can't
35:13
Speaker 1: throw women down the stairs. Who do you think you are?
35:15
Speaker 1: Princess Diana Jesus. So he ends up getting apart as
35:22
Speaker 1: an extra in a film I Adore You by Warner Brothers,
35:27
Speaker 1: and producer Irving Asher liked the look of Flynn and
35:31
Speaker 1: cast him in A Quota Quickie. Now, A Quota Quickie
35:36
Speaker 1: was a film, a British film. It was made in Britain,
35:39
Speaker 1: and it was made in order to satisfy the quota
35:42
Speaker 1: requirements of the Cinematograph Films Act of nineteen twenty seven. Now, basically,
35:51
Speaker 1: so many British films had to be made per year,
35:53
Speaker 1: and they had to be shown in British cinemas, and
35:55
Speaker 1: they had to be filmed in British studios or interior
35:58
Speaker 1: scenes had to be filmed in British studio. And it
36:00
Speaker 1: was like a big deal, a big thing, and so
36:04
Speaker 1: so many movies had to be made per year. And
36:07
Speaker 1: so Irving Asher he's in the UK, he's making some movies,
36:13
Speaker 1: and so he's like, you know what, let's get this
36:15
Speaker 1: guy in one of them. And so he has Flynn
36:19
Speaker 1: in Murder with Monte Carlo. And it's again not a
36:24
Speaker 1: great movie, and Asher he sees something here, something in
36:29
Speaker 1: Ero Flynn, and he cabled Warner Brothers in Hollywood and
36:34
Speaker 1: they flew him out to LA and next thing, you know,
36:37
Speaker 1: the twenty six year old was the next big thing.
36:41
Speaker 1: They've decided Ero Flynn is going to be the next
36:44
Speaker 1: man of Hollywood. He's got his contract. They were like,
36:49
Speaker 1: who is this handsome man from Australia And I'm just
36:55
Speaker 1: trying to imagine him like a thick Australian accent, so
36:59
Speaker 1: as she did. But anyway, when he gets there, right,
37:03
Speaker 1: they start promoting him as Irish. They're like, Errol Flynn.
37:06
Speaker 1: Flynn's an Irish name, that'll do. Now. His dad's family
37:10
Speaker 1: were of Irish descent, and his mom's that, you know,
37:15
Speaker 1: my wobbly there. But he's there and he's like, I'm Irish.
37:21
Speaker 1: And he says that the reason that he was being
37:24
Speaker 1: pushed as Irish was because he believed that no one
37:27
Speaker 1: in America knew that Australia was a real place. So
37:34
Speaker 1: on the boat over to the US, I love the
37:37
Speaker 1: fact that I'm like, they flew him out to LA.
37:39
Speaker 1: They didn't fly him out to LA. That's that was hyperbole.
37:42
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. They sailed him out to La they put
37:46
Speaker 1: him on a boat. Okay, okay, so they put him
37:50
Speaker 1: on a boat and they sailed him across And on
37:53
Speaker 1: this boat he meets Lily Demita, a French actress, and
38:00
Speaker 1: may he reluctantly marries her. But he's got an image
38:05
Speaker 1: to maintain, and Hollywood is very specific about how they
38:08
Speaker 1: want to portray you, and you have to follow the rules.
38:14
Speaker 1: So this is a tempestuous relationship. Like they're always fighting.
38:21
Speaker 1: It's not helped by the fact that he is a whore,
38:24
Speaker 1: but yeah, they're always fighting. And their last fight ended
38:29
Speaker 1: with her smashing a bottle of champagne over his head
38:32
Speaker 1: and him punching her in the jaw, breaking her tooth.
38:36
Speaker 1: Now again again not acceptable, not appropriate, But like the
38:44
Speaker 1: studio covers us up. Basically they end up in recovery
38:48
Speaker 1: for weeks, and the studio claims that the couple were
38:53
Speaker 1: in a car crash, not that they had a fight.
38:57
Speaker 1: She hit him with a bottle and he punched in
39:00
Speaker 1: the face, breaking her tooth. But like through Lily, Lily
39:04
Speaker 1: is just sort of really well loved as a person
39:08
Speaker 1: in acting circles and art circles and all this stuff.
39:11
Speaker 1: So like through her, he meets so many of who
39:17
Speaker 1: we would now see as you know, the stars of
39:19
Speaker 1: the Golden Age of Hollywood. And also like they travel
39:23
Speaker 1: to Mexico and she introduces him to Diego Rivera and
39:27
Speaker 1: Frida Calo like, and Diego is the one who introduces
39:32
Speaker 1: him to Weed. He's like, have you tried this? And
39:36
Speaker 1: the of Flynn's like not yet, but yeah. So like
39:41
Speaker 1: he has some parts to begin with in Hollywood. They're
39:44
Speaker 1: not like big hurrors or whatever, but he's got a
39:46
Speaker 1: few things and he's well received. Now the issue is
39:52
Speaker 1: for Lily is that her accent is quite thick for
39:57
Speaker 1: American audiences and they struggle with it, so talking for
40:00
Speaker 1: her not great. But Errol is selected personally for the
40:10
Speaker 1: role of Captain Blood by Jack Warner himself, and he's
40:17
Speaker 1: just like, this is a big deal. This is the guy,
40:23
Speaker 1: and this makes the studio so much money. It is
40:26
Speaker 1: a massive hit, and he is now a swashbuckling sex symbol.
40:32
Speaker 1: Now he ends up being like sort of co starring
40:38
Speaker 1: with Olivia de Haviland alot, and she's what eighteen or something,
40:41
Speaker 1: she's super young and he's in his twenties and so
40:46
Speaker 1: like they have to do all of these scenes together.
40:49
Speaker 1: These are like romantic scenes, and she has to kiss him,
40:52
Speaker 1: and she is I'm gonna say a bit of a
40:55
Speaker 1: shit as well, because what she would do is she
40:57
Speaker 1: would deliberately try and like sauce it up and she
41:01
Speaker 1: would sort of go extra, shall we say, in the
41:07
Speaker 1: romantic scenes, especially when his wife Lily was there on
41:15
Speaker 1: set and it got to the point that things were
41:19
Speaker 1: getting a bit you know smotherery and he had to
41:24
Speaker 1: readjust his tights. But yes, eventually Lily and Errol separate
41:36
Speaker 1: in nineteen thirty seven because like he is just going
41:41
Speaker 1: off the charts with fame and also he is dipping
41:44
Speaker 1: his spoon in so many honey pots. So he moves
41:48
Speaker 1: in with David Niven and they start having orgies like
41:53
Speaker 1: and these orgies end when Errol Flynn allegedly is makes
41:58
Speaker 1: a pass at David Niven and also allegedly's Ronald Reagan.
42:04
Speaker 1: Now again with these orgies, like loads of people came
42:09
Speaker 1: out like after the fact saying that they were in
42:12
Speaker 1: sort of like a flag ray with him with Errol Flynn,
42:17
Speaker 1: Like everybody was putting stuff into everyone, you know what
42:20
Speaker 1: I mean. It was just kind of you know, fingers
42:24
Speaker 1: and pies or pie holes and whatnot, so on and
42:28
Speaker 1: so forth. Now with less orgies to occupy him, Errol
42:32
Speaker 1: wanted a break from Hollywood, so he in his good
42:36
Speaker 1: pal doctor Herman Urban. They decide to go report on
42:42
Speaker 1: the Spanish Civil War. Like he's done all of these movies.
42:47
Speaker 1: He's just kind of like, I need a break. And
42:50
Speaker 1: so this is a big fucking deal. You have this
42:56
Speaker 1: Hollywood heart throb who is going to go report on
43:01
Speaker 1: a civil war over in Europe. Like he thinks he's
43:05
Speaker 1: gonna have his like Hemingway like dream. He's gonna be
43:08
Speaker 1: like cool and cultured and report on shit. Now he's
43:13
Speaker 1: gonna go right articles It's for one of William Randolphurst's magazine,
43:19
Speaker 1: because of course it is. And he's gonna go there.
43:22
Speaker 1: Doctor Urban's gonna take photos. It's gonna be a whole thing.
43:27
Speaker 1: Except okay, here's here's a small daney downy, downy downy
43:32
Speaker 1: issue with this whole scenario. See doctor Herman Urban. The
43:35
Speaker 1: Austrian doctor was a known Nazi operative and I mean
43:42
Speaker 1: known as a known by the FBI. So like when
43:47
Speaker 1: he's taking pictures for Erow Flynn and the magazines, he
43:52
Speaker 1: is also sending pictures back to the fucking Nazis. Okay, right,
43:59
Speaker 1: So Errol is like pro left faction, right, he wants
44:05
Speaker 1: them to beat the fascists. He's very much pro lefties
44:08
Speaker 1: in this scenario. So that's basically the area where he
44:11
Speaker 1: tends to be. Now, I don't know if you know
44:15
Speaker 1: this about the Nazis, but they fucking hate leftists. I
44:19
Speaker 1: know people are like, but aren't they socialists. It's in
44:21
Speaker 1: the name, Matt. I got things about the tip mouse
44:24
Speaker 1: that's gonna fucking knock your socks off, right, I don't
44:28
Speaker 1: know what to tell you. The flying squirrel doesn't actually
44:30
Speaker 1: fucking fly glades, bitch. I don't know what more you need, okay, right, okay, right, sorry,
44:39
Speaker 1: I'm getting that great now, Like people like Germans who
44:44
Speaker 1: were out fighting on behalf, like of the Spanish, like
44:48
Speaker 1: against the fascists. Anyone who volunteered and then was photographed
44:53
Speaker 1: by say doctor Herman Urban, who then returned to Nazi Germany,
44:59
Speaker 1: was automat locked up in a concentration camp, or simply murdered.
45:05
Speaker 1: This is what happened, and this is why, Like for
45:09
Speaker 1: a while the FBI thought that Erol Flynn if not
45:13
Speaker 1: a Nazi, was a Nazi sympathizer AnyWho. Errol is kicking
45:20
Speaker 1: about with leftist fighters and decides to spread the rumor
45:23
Speaker 1: that he got shot in the face for funsies, right,
45:28
Speaker 1: Like it wasn't as if he hadn't been through shit,
45:32
Speaker 1: Like he'd almost been crushed by a collapsing balcony. He
45:36
Speaker 1: was almost blown up like a few times. But no, no, no, no,
45:39
Speaker 1: this is the crappy pools. He's like, whips, what if
45:42
Speaker 1: Erol Flynn got shot in the face. And it's at
45:45
Speaker 1: this point where Jack Warner is so fucking done with
45:49
Speaker 1: his bullshit, right, He's like, get your bitch ass back
45:55
Speaker 1: to the States, Like he is so fucking done. He
45:59
Speaker 1: is like done with this tom fuckery. And he's like,
46:02
Speaker 1: Errol Flynn, leave the war torn country and please return
46:09
Speaker 1: to the United States of America. And so he does.
46:15
Speaker 1: He heads back. Being away in a civil war in
46:19
Speaker 1: a country that has nothing to do with you really
46:23
Speaker 1: helped Errol focus on what he wanted in life for
46:27
Speaker 1: a very short period of time. Okay, It's like when
46:31
Speaker 1: you're studying for finals and then suddenly you need to
46:33
Speaker 1: reorganize the kitchen cabinets. Now he returns home, he reconciles
46:38
Speaker 1: with Lily. They're often on his yacht. He has a yacht.
46:41
Speaker 1: It's called Zaka. It's his favorite and he loves it.
46:43
Speaker 1: They're kicking about that, and then Lily gets pregnant. Well,
46:49
Speaker 1: he impregnant. Lily is probably the more appropriate way to
46:52
Speaker 1: say it. No, not appropriate, accurate, it's the more accurate
46:56
Speaker 1: way to say it. So she gives birth to their son,
47:00
Speaker 1: Sean Flynn, one year exactly before their divorce is finalized. Yeah, yeah,
47:08
Speaker 1: she doesn't stick around. So this divorce, this is such
47:15
Speaker 1: like a harsh divorce actually, because he had to pay
47:19
Speaker 1: Lily a percentage of his salary, right, like a fixed percentage.
47:24
Speaker 1: So the more he made, the more he gave her.
47:26
Speaker 1: The less he made, the less he gave her, right,
47:28
Speaker 1: So it's you know, it's variable, it's a variable rate.
47:31
Speaker 1: But he also had to pay the tax on it.
47:35
Speaker 1: So what would happen is like he would pay the
47:38
Speaker 1: tax and then her tax would go higher, and so
47:41
Speaker 1: then she would sue him, so he would pay more
47:43
Speaker 1: tax than it would just kind of like a robberus,
47:46
Speaker 1: it would just keep going up game aginger. Now he
47:52
Speaker 1: just kind of is caught for this one. I say,
47:56
Speaker 1: you know, it's fair. He just ends up continuously paying.
48:00
Speaker 1: But anyway, he's backswashbuckling, making movies, boozing, smoking, smoking, smoking,
48:09
Speaker 1: partying and so on. And he moves into a mansion
48:12
Speaker 1: on my Hall and Drive and it is, and I
48:15
Speaker 1: say this respectfully, creepy as fuck. It has been demolished
48:21
Speaker 1: now and I think, like justin timberwagg owns a bit
48:23
Speaker 1: of it, which still makes it creepy. I don't give
48:25
Speaker 1: a fuck. But yeah, so it had two way mirrors
48:30
Speaker 1: and people's so you could just like watch people like that, Earl.
48:36
Speaker 1: Not cool. Not cool. So like when World War two
48:42
Speaker 1: breaks out, well, I mean, I say it breaks out
48:45
Speaker 1: when it finally reaches America in nineteen forty one, people
48:51
Speaker 1: start enlisting. Now, Earl. He becomes an American citizen sort
48:57
Speaker 1: of during this because foreigners were not allowed to own
49:03
Speaker 1: boats that were over one hundred and fifty tons, and
49:06
Speaker 1: he did not want to give up his yacht, and
49:09
Speaker 1: so he's like, I'm going to become a citizen, and
49:11
Speaker 1: so they're like great, So yeah, he tries to enlist, right,
49:19
Speaker 1: he tries to enlist, but he is rejected because he
49:22
Speaker 1: is fucking riddled, right. He had recurrent malaria. At some
49:27
Speaker 1: point he managed to contract tuberculosis. He had a large
49:33
Speaker 1: heart chronic back then from all of his swashbuckling stunts,
49:37
Speaker 1: and he had a whole host of venereal diseases. But
49:42
Speaker 1: because he looked fine, he was accused of being a
49:45
Speaker 1: draft dodger when really he was just fucked physically. On
49:50
Speaker 1: top of that, the government thought again that Dury was
49:55
Speaker 1: tying in Spain and friendship with a Nazi, that he
50:00
Speaker 1: was either a Nazi or a Nazi sympathizer, right, And
50:05
Speaker 1: from about nineteen forty two he starts having heart attacks
50:09
Speaker 1: like quite regularly. So let's talk about his movies for
50:16
Speaker 1: a minute, because I haven't really gone into that, which
50:18
Speaker 1: is like, what is the most known for shagging in movies?
50:21
Speaker 1: Because it's dimmed to talk about the movies. So he
50:25
Speaker 1: is in a bunch of films with Olivia to Haveland.
50:28
Speaker 1: They are in eight films in six years, from Captain Blood,
50:33
Speaker 1: the Adventures of Robin Hood and basically that's like top tier, right,
50:38
Speaker 1: And so they're in all of these films together. Now,
50:44
Speaker 1: like he tried comedy, but people preferred to see him swashbuckling,
50:49
Speaker 1: but like his comedic stuff's actually pretty good. Now he
50:55
Speaker 1: is drinking on set, and it's noticed that he's drinking
50:59
Speaker 1: on set, and so they ban drinking on set. So
51:03
Speaker 1: what he does is he ends up injecting oranges with vodka,
51:09
Speaker 1: and so whenever he would take a break, he would
51:11
Speaker 1: just eat these like vodka infused oranges, which is commitment,
51:17
Speaker 1: I'll say, like not even hiding it in mouthwashing stuff.
51:21
Speaker 1: He's like, I'm just gonna put vodka directly into this orange, right,
51:26
Speaker 1: I don't know. I keep feeling it's gonna be like
51:28
Speaker 1: a clementine or a tangerine or a satsuma, you know,
51:32
Speaker 1: because an orange is quite big. I feel like maybe
51:34
Speaker 1: it's one of the like smaller citrus fruits. But yeah,
51:40
Speaker 1: at one point as well, like he's like, I'm such
51:44
Speaker 1: a jokestar and he puts a dead snack in Alivead
51:47
Speaker 1: Havlin's underwear, which is I don't know about you, but
51:52
Speaker 1: like an animal carcass like and my lauingerie is not
51:57
Speaker 1: is not a good thing to do. I don't think
52:00
Speaker 1: that's cool. Oh my goodness, let me tell you, but
52:04
Speaker 1: Bet Davis, Davis, I love Bete Davis, she's such a bitch.
52:08
Speaker 1: So like he claims that she is annoyed at him
52:12
Speaker 1: because she doesn't want his sexual advances, when really she
52:15
Speaker 1: thinks he's a fucking prick. Right, And they're on a
52:19
Speaker 1: movie together. They're on a few movies together, but like
52:21
Speaker 1: their second movie together, The Private Lives of Elizabeth and Essex,
52:27
Speaker 1: where she is playing Queen Elizabeth and he is playing
52:32
Speaker 1: the other guy and I don't give a fuck clearly.
52:36
Speaker 1: So basically she's in a scene where she has to
52:39
Speaker 1: slap him. Right, So they're getting ready to practice, they're
52:44
Speaker 1: you know, blocking everything, and he's just being him. And
52:51
Speaker 1: she finds out that not only does she have to
52:53
Speaker 1: share top billing with the man, but he's also being
52:57
Speaker 1: paid more than her, which is why considering she is
53:01
Speaker 1: clearly the better actor of the two. And so there's
53:04
Speaker 1: a scene she has to slap him, and she's there
53:07
Speaker 1: in her Elizabeth regalia, She's got all of her big
53:10
Speaker 1: rings on like a knuckle duster, and she's about to
53:14
Speaker 1: slap him. She raises her hand and she just goes,
53:17
Speaker 1: fuck this for a game of soldiers and fucking whacks
53:22
Speaker 1: him on the face. She hits him so hard it
53:27
Speaker 1: knocks him for six. Like, he goes down like a
53:30
Speaker 1: sack of spuds. Right. So she then goes into her
53:34
Speaker 1: trailer and starts like dabbing on her makeup, just as
53:37
Speaker 1: one does, and he just kind of stumbles in and
53:40
Speaker 1: he's about to have it out with her, and she's
53:43
Speaker 1: just like, it's acting. I mean, if you can't handle acting,
53:46
Speaker 1: I guess you should go hilselaere. And she's like dabbing
53:49
Speaker 1: away and he just like can't handle that, and so
53:54
Speaker 1: he immediately goes into his dressing room and pukes. He
53:58
Speaker 1: just vomits just from the whole ordeal. He probably had
54:02
Speaker 1: some deities too. However, I like to think it was
54:05
Speaker 1: a good fucking pam slap from Bette Davis. Now, if
54:11
Speaker 1: only she could knock some sense into him. The very
54:15
Speaker 1: last film he made with Olivia de Haviland was They
54:19
Speaker 1: Died with Their Boots On in nineteen forty two. Now
54:22
Speaker 1: this is like about Custer and it's anyway. That same year,
54:30
Speaker 1: two teenage girls Betty Hansen and Peggy Saturly separately accused
54:36
Speaker 1: Errol Flynn of statutory rape. In early nineteen forty three,
54:41
Speaker 1: the trial took place and he admitted to a consensual
54:45
Speaker 1: affair with Peggy, but that he didn't know who Betty was. Now,
54:50
Speaker 1: these girls both went like read about the same time
54:54
Speaker 1: of year. They went in and they reported this, right,
55:00
Speaker 1: did it separately. They didn't know each other. They just
55:02
Speaker 1: happened to do it around the same time. Now, his
55:06
Speaker 1: lawyer tore the girls to shreds. Right, one of them
55:10
Speaker 1: was an actress and the other one had been arrested
55:13
Speaker 1: for giving her boyfriend a blowjob, because apparently both of
55:17
Speaker 1: those things are comparable to statutory rape. So one of
55:23
Speaker 1: the girls was fifteen at the time of again the
55:28
Speaker 1: statutory rape. So Flynn's argument, right, the argument that is said,
55:37
Speaker 1: and we still hear it today and it makes me
55:38
Speaker 1: so fucking angry. Right, the argument is that ero Flynn
55:44
Speaker 1: is the most gorgeous, handsome, sexy man and this girl
55:48
Speaker 1: is a bit of a munta. Basically, they're saying she's
55:51
Speaker 1: so ugly, right that ero Flynn would not want to
55:55
Speaker 1: shag her, like, oh, he couldn't have raped her because
56:00
Speaker 1: she's not his type. Are you fucking kidding me? She
56:02
Speaker 1: was fifteen, Okay, you're in your fucking thirties, man, it's
56:06
Speaker 1: not cool. It's not acceptable. It is shitty and horrible
56:10
Speaker 1: and I don't give a fuck that is a child.
56:13
Speaker 1: You can argue with me all you want. You can.
56:16
Speaker 1: You can't argue me, you'd be fucking wrong, right, But yeah,
56:20
Speaker 1: basically it is an absolute shit show. Like one of
56:24
Speaker 1: the girls has an abortion and they're like, clearly she's
56:26
Speaker 1: a terrible person, and it's like, please, how many abortions
56:30
Speaker 1: his fucking Aero Flynn created in the world, Probably more
56:33
Speaker 1: than his lawyer knows about. But like fans show up
56:40
Speaker 1: every day in support of Aeroflynn, including groups like American
56:46
Speaker 1: Boys Club for the Defense of Eero Flynn? Fuck? What
56:54
Speaker 1: what right you have? All of those people just being
56:57
Speaker 1: like he couldn't have done it. He's swashbuckling hero. Now
57:03
Speaker 1: as someone who really believes that swashbunkling movie should make
57:06
Speaker 1: a comeback. Because if we know anything, we know that
57:10
Speaker 1: we like people in Billoway shirts. We do. We like
57:15
Speaker 1: a Billoway shirt, right, it doesn't matter we watch The Mummy,
57:20
Speaker 1: every single actor is in a Billoway shirt, Rachel Vice,
57:23
Speaker 1: Brendan Fraser, everybody else. I could go through the whole list, right,
57:31
Speaker 1: mister Darcy, Like, we like a Billoway shirt. On a person.
57:36
Speaker 1: It's just really sexy. Okay, we love it. Bring back swashbuckling,
57:40
Speaker 1: thank you, which is bad when I'm just like talking
57:44
Speaker 1: about this horrible, horrible thing. So, while he's at his
57:49
Speaker 1: trial for raping teenage girls, he meets eighteen year old
57:56
Speaker 1: Norah Eddington who works in the tuck shop at the
58:00
Speaker 1: courthouse or like, she was the cigarette girl, right, So
58:03
Speaker 1: she's there chewing gum and selling cigarettes and he's like yes.
58:08
Speaker 1: So when he's acquitted, because of course he is, he
58:11
Speaker 1: marries Nora because she's pregnant and he cannot have any
58:16
Speaker 1: more scandal attached to his name. So they get married
58:19
Speaker 1: and they end up having two children together, Rory and
58:24
Speaker 1: Dear Dream. Then he leans into writing. He's like, I'm
58:29
Speaker 1: going to write a book. I'm going to write stuff.
58:31
Speaker 1: It's gonna be amazing, but you know when I need inspiration,
58:34
Speaker 1: and my inspiration I mean opium. Spoiler alert. He does
58:40
Speaker 1: not write the book, and by nineteen forty nine, Norah
58:44
Speaker 1: is done with his bullshit and divorces him. So he's
58:49
Speaker 1: now drinking a bottle of vodka a day. His lover
58:52
Speaker 1: is buggered and he's got hepatitis, which one who knows
59:00
Speaker 1: taking his yacht Zaka to the Mediterranean, and he's hanging
59:04
Speaker 1: out with all the cool people. Prince Rainier of Monaco,
59:08
Speaker 1: who you may know as Gene Kelly's husband. He's with
59:11
Speaker 1: King Farouk of Egypt. I don't know if he's the
59:14
Speaker 1: one who got shot. Maybe anyway, I'll to double check
59:17
Speaker 1: that one Rita Hairworth is there. And somehow around this
59:22
Speaker 1: time he gets engaged to Princess Irene Geeka, a Romanian princess,
59:30
Speaker 1: like he meets through Prince Rainier or something, and he's
59:34
Speaker 1: with her. They get engaged because obviously he's divorced Nora
59:37
Speaker 1: or she's divorced him at this point, and then it's like, oh,
59:42
Speaker 1: actually no, he decides that he likes somebody else because
59:47
Speaker 1: he's in a movie with Patrise Wyman Rocky Mountain. Patrice
59:52
Speaker 1: was seventeen years his junior. Oh and he right, He
59:57
Speaker 1: doesn't even break up with and says to himself, he
1:00:02
Speaker 1: gets his housekeeper to do it, like first no backbone,
1:00:08
Speaker 1: now no balls? Interesting? Errol interesting. So Errol Flynn and
1:00:14
Speaker 1: Patrice get married in the South of France, where Errol
1:00:17
Speaker 1: is yet again arrested for statutory rape of a teenage
1:00:24
Speaker 1: girl on his yacht. So the charge was dismissed because
1:00:30
Speaker 1: the shower in the yacht was too small for two people.
1:00:36
Speaker 1: The shive isn't big enough for two people. You should
1:00:39
Speaker 1: see the places where people have managed to squeeze their
1:00:43
Speaker 1: bodies into, right, Like, there are so many ways the
1:00:51
Speaker 1: human body can conform to a space that you cannot understand.
1:00:55
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, like, I'm not saying I mean
1:00:59
Speaker 1: I am. I mean no, I'm not saying it's a
1:01:02
Speaker 1: crock of shit. I'm just saying that the French judicial
1:01:05
Speaker 1: system maybe sometimes might be a crock of shit. Any Who,
1:01:11
Speaker 1: mister and missus Flynn starts spending a lot of time
1:01:14
Speaker 1: in his estate in Jamaica. They have a daughter together, Arnella,
1:01:20
Speaker 1: and he even has his parents like move to the
1:01:23
Speaker 1: estate and live there too, And it's like, I think
1:01:26
Speaker 1: it's read about this point that he actually realizes that
1:01:29
Speaker 1: his dad is also a big whore and is just
1:01:32
Speaker 1: out like shagging all over the world and that's what
1:01:35
Speaker 1: he was doing instead of being a parent. So he
1:01:39
Speaker 1: is now Errol is on two leads of vodka a day, right,
1:01:44
Speaker 1: He's on a fuck ton of morphine because his back
1:01:47
Speaker 1: is buggered. He's smoking like a chimney, and again Leslie
1:01:52
Speaker 1: forget just all of the things. All of the things.
1:01:57
Speaker 1: And Patrice leg number one and wife number two. She
1:02:03
Speaker 1: is also sick of his fucking shit, and so she
1:02:07
Speaker 1: leaves him too, but they do not get divorced, but
1:02:12
Speaker 1: that does not stop him from finding someone else, because
1:02:17
Speaker 1: Patrice leaves him in nineteen fifty seven, and it isn't
1:02:21
Speaker 1: long before suddenly he has a girlfriend, Beverly Iardland. She's
1:02:26
Speaker 1: an actress and he meets her when she's fifteen. Now
1:02:30
Speaker 1: he ends up dedicating his book to her, which he
1:02:34
Speaker 1: had a ghostwriter to come and help him write his book.
1:02:37
Speaker 1: Partly he just told them all the stuff when the
1:02:39
Speaker 1: ghostwriter wrote it down. So yeah, so financially, Errol Flynn
1:02:47
Speaker 1: is fucked right. He tries to make his own movie,
1:02:53
Speaker 1: William Tell, but it folds before it's completed. Then his
1:02:58
Speaker 1: business manager die, who, as it turns out, wasn't paying
1:03:03
Speaker 1: Earl's taxes properly and had also been stealing from him
1:03:07
Speaker 1: four years. So Lily, as we know, has like the
1:03:12
Speaker 1: most amazing sort of divorce settlement, so she keeps getting
1:03:17
Speaker 1: money from him, and like he can't pay her, so
1:03:21
Speaker 1: she sues and gets the Moholland Drive mansion, the mansion
1:03:26
Speaker 1: with the peep holes and the two way mirrors and
1:03:28
Speaker 1: all the other creepy shit, and she ends up selling
1:03:30
Speaker 1: that and makes just a good chunk of change off
1:03:34
Speaker 1: it to make matters worse, like just when you thought
1:03:39
Speaker 1: Earle Flynn couldn't become a worse person. And he starts
1:03:43
Speaker 1: hanging around with l Ron Hubbard. They are partying, boozying
1:03:47
Speaker 1: andes cocaine everywhere. No, not cocaine, raisins. No, I'm kidding,
1:03:55
Speaker 1: it is actually cocaine. They're just all over the shop.
1:03:58
Speaker 1: Now he's hanging it with l Ron Hubbard, but he's
1:04:01
Speaker 1: not doing the scientology stuff like, he's just there at
1:04:04
Speaker 1: a party and it's not cocaine off of I'm assuming
1:04:10
Speaker 1: women's bodies. So nineteen fifty seven again, things are kind
1:04:15
Speaker 1: of shit. But they do start looking up because Jack
1:04:18
Speaker 1: Warner personally casts him, and the sun also rises because
1:04:25
Speaker 1: Errol Flynn is no longer the hunky, sexy, swashbuckling man
1:04:28
Speaker 1: he was. His face is bloated, he's put on a
1:04:31
Speaker 1: few pounds, he's you know, not you know, just the
1:04:36
Speaker 1: heartthrop he once was, but he's playing disgruntled drunken just yeah,
1:04:46
Speaker 1: and everyone loves it. Critics are just raving reviews. Flynn
1:04:55
Speaker 1: plays disgruntled, drunken old rogues for the rest of his career,
1:05:02
Speaker 1: and he's just like this is him. He's typecast again,
1:05:04
Speaker 1: but now he's got the canoe persona and people are
1:05:07
Speaker 1: loving it. So in nineteen fifty eight, Errol Flynn travels
1:05:13
Speaker 1: to Cuba. He says it's for a movie, but it's
1:05:16
Speaker 1: really because he wants to make a documentary on the revolution.
1:05:20
Speaker 1: So the movie Cuban Rebel Girls, which it just sounds
1:05:24
Speaker 1: like one of those exploitation movies, Cuban Rebel Girls. Ooh,
1:05:30
Speaker 1: it's sorry it tanked. And his documentary, his pro Fidel
1:05:38
Speaker 1: Castro documentary, was only shown in one place ever, Moscow, Moscow, Russia,
1:05:47
Speaker 1: right or I think it was the USSR at this point. Now,
1:05:52
Speaker 1: surprisingly enough, people weren't super into that because again there's
1:05:59
Speaker 1: the whole red scale that's happening in Hollywood and yeah, right.
1:06:05
Speaker 1: The funniest part is, like Beverly said that Errol Flynn
1:06:09
Speaker 1: didn't know that Fidel Castro was a communist. It's almost
1:06:14
Speaker 1: as if people don't know what communism is anyway, The
1:06:19
Speaker 1: next year, like, he needs money because things were looking
1:06:22
Speaker 1: up and now they've gone south again, and so he
1:06:25
Speaker 1: needs money, so he decides to rent Zaka, his beloved yacht,
1:06:30
Speaker 1: to a Canadian businessman. So when he's on the way
1:06:34
Speaker 1: to Vancouver Airport after you know, the deal Errol complains
1:06:38
Speaker 1: to Beverly that he's got pains in his back and
1:06:42
Speaker 1: his legs. So basically he's brought to this doctor, Dr Gould,
1:06:47
Speaker 1: who thinks that there's an osteoarthritis situation going on, and
1:06:53
Speaker 1: so he gives dem Roll. He's like, listen, take a
1:06:57
Speaker 1: nap for your flight. Take this, it'll ease the pain. DeMarle,
1:07:01
Speaker 1: if you don't know, is Pethodene something that quote? I
1:07:04
Speaker 1: react very well too. You react very well to Pethodene.
1:07:11
Speaker 1: The nurse has told me that, which is how I
1:07:14
Speaker 1: ended up falling asleep between contractions. Listen, it's a gift.
1:07:18
Speaker 1: So yeah, so he gives him the Pathodene. Earl goes
1:07:25
Speaker 1: to have a little nap and so Beverly's like, okay,
1:07:28
Speaker 1: let's let him rest, and she goes away and she's
1:07:32
Speaker 1: away for about twenty minutes, and when she gets back
1:07:36
Speaker 1: to check on him. He's dead. She can't well, she
1:07:42
Speaker 1: can't wake him up. He's like completely out of consciousness.
1:07:46
Speaker 1: He is then taken to a hospital where he is
1:07:50
Speaker 1: then pronounced dead, but basically he takes the perthodiene, he
1:07:54
Speaker 1: goes for his nap and he does not wake up.
1:07:57
Speaker 1: And so On the fourteenth of October nineteen fifty nine,
1:08:03
Speaker 1: Errow Leslie Thompson Flynn died in Vancouver, Canada. He was
1:08:10
Speaker 1: fifty years old. Cause of death was a heart attack,
1:08:15
Speaker 1: although he had a fatty liver and other organ issues.
1:08:20
Speaker 1: Years of smoking, drinking opium, morphine, and cocaine mixed with tuberculosis, malaria,
1:08:27
Speaker 1: genital warts, goneria, hepatitis, and a partridge in a pear
1:08:31
Speaker 1: tree really had an effect on him. He died owing
1:08:36
Speaker 1: millions and payments had to be made from his estate.
1:08:42
Speaker 1: He said that he wanted to be buried in Jamaica. Instead,
1:08:45
Speaker 1: he ended up being buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park
1:08:48
Speaker 1: Cemetery with the six bottles of his favorite whiskey. And
1:08:55
Speaker 1: so ends the story of Errol Flynn, Hollywood's swashbuckling walking scandal.
1:09:06
Speaker 1: If you liked my telling of this story of the
1:09:10
Speaker 1: life of Aeroflynn. Feel free to wait and review five stars,
1:09:13
Speaker 1: Share this with all your friends and tell people I'm
1:09:16
Speaker 1: cool and shit. There's so much on Hollywood history that
1:09:22
Speaker 1: I would love to talk about. There's so many like
1:09:24
Speaker 1: scandals and big deals and just amazing things that I
1:09:27
Speaker 1: would love to just dive into. But I wanted to
1:09:32
Speaker 1: keep it nice and succinct, I think, for this month,
1:09:37
Speaker 1: because listen, we can always go back, because there's so
1:09:39
Speaker 1: much to go back on. And I thought, I'm going
1:09:43
Speaker 1: to talk about an amazing woman in the next episode,
1:09:47
Speaker 1: So I thought, you know what, let's talk about a
1:09:50
Speaker 1: shitty man, because why not. I'm sure there are good
1:09:55
Speaker 1: ones out there. I have a son, I am raising him. Well, yeah,
1:10:02
Speaker 1: I'm joking. Okay, Now there are good men out there. Okay.
1:10:05
Speaker 1: We're just in a world which people are suffering, and
1:10:13
Speaker 1: media in society they are creating a blame game, okay,
1:10:19
Speaker 1: and they are telling young men that they deserve better,
1:10:24
Speaker 1: and women are finally getting to a point where they
1:10:27
Speaker 1: are self sufficient, that they don't have to suffer necessarily,
1:10:32
Speaker 1: they aren't forced like legally into a system of abuse
1:10:36
Speaker 1: where they actually have an option to not be like that.
1:10:40
Speaker 1: And because the boot was always on the throat, and
1:10:43
Speaker 1: now it's not because of the actions of so many
1:10:48
Speaker 1: men for so many centuries. It's not even decades, it's
1:10:52
Speaker 1: centuries that women are revolting against it. And a lot
1:10:56
Speaker 1: of young men, I'm being fucking serious now for a second,
1:11:00
Speaker 1: lot of young men they see this, they see this
1:11:03
Speaker 1: anger towards men, and they feel hard done by because
1:11:07
Speaker 1: they have grown up in a world where they were
1:11:09
Speaker 1: not part of it, and now they feel like they're
1:11:13
Speaker 1: being targeted because they don't have the context. And I
1:11:18
Speaker 1: think it's a double edged sword in a way, because
1:11:21
Speaker 1: they're raised in a society where you've got half the
1:11:25
Speaker 1: people telling them not to be shitty, because again, generations
1:11:31
Speaker 1: of them have been shitty, and they've got all of this,
1:11:37
Speaker 1: you know, vitriol and all of this sort of perspective
1:11:44
Speaker 1: of these men who are telling them that, you know,
1:11:48
Speaker 1: they deserve all of this. They deserve women, they deserve
1:11:52
Speaker 1: you know, money, they deserve power, and create this idea
1:11:56
Speaker 1: that women aren't people, you know what I mean, it's
1:11:58
Speaker 1: just another object to consume, control, in use. And I'm
1:12:05
Speaker 1: not sure of the best way to combat this, Like
1:12:10
Speaker 1: I don't know what is the best route right now
1:12:14
Speaker 1: because they're not listening to women, and these red pill
1:12:21
Speaker 1: men are just getting more powerful. Like I had to
1:12:25
Speaker 1: explain to my son who came to me one day, going,
1:12:28
Speaker 1: why do women hate men? And I'm like, oh, no,
1:12:32
Speaker 1: it's not that we hate men, It's that we hate
1:12:36
Speaker 1: the suffering that women have endured the hands of men
1:12:38
Speaker 1: for centuries, and current generations are neither taking accountability for
1:12:44
Speaker 1: the actions, nor are they trying to improve not only
1:12:49
Speaker 1: themselves but the lives around them. Because everything is on fire.
1:12:53
Speaker 1: The world is going to shout, and we should all
1:12:55
Speaker 1: be punching a fucking natzi now the end of the day.
1:13:00
Speaker 1: We all have to try and be better people. And
1:13:01
Speaker 1: I know I've just gone off on this massive fucking rant,
1:13:04
Speaker 1: but I'm scared for modern men. I'm scared for these
1:13:12
Speaker 1: boys who have all of these irrational, crazy red pill
1:13:18
Speaker 1: men shouting in their ears or whispering in their ears
1:13:21
Speaker 1: and talking about baghattis and treating women like they're fucking disposable,
1:13:26
Speaker 1: Like we are becoming so disconnected from one another. And
1:13:31
Speaker 1: one of the things I really fucking love about this
1:13:32
Speaker 1: podcast is that I reach so many people, and I
1:13:39
Speaker 1: know this is just kind of like, I don't want
1:13:42
Speaker 1: to say share thoughts. It's like word vomit. It's coming
1:13:44
Speaker 1: at me right now. But I really like the community
1:13:50
Speaker 1: is growing, and well, history doesn't exist in a vacuum.
1:13:55
Speaker 1: It doesn't exist in a vacuum. It is part of us.
1:14:00
Speaker 1: It creates who we are today. And I get people
1:14:02
Speaker 1: contacting me telling me about how I spoke about a
1:14:06
Speaker 1: part of their history that they never get to hear,
1:14:09
Speaker 1: and they're thankful that I'll talk about amb and not
1:14:12
Speaker 1: hide behind this and that. And I know it's such
1:14:16
Speaker 1: a tiny, tiny thing to do, but if I'm helping
1:14:19
Speaker 1: someone and even the smallest of ways, then I've done
1:14:22
Speaker 1: something right. Our purpose in this world is to leave
1:14:27
Speaker 1: it a little bit better than the way we came
1:14:29
Speaker 1: into it, and I think we should all just try
1:14:32
Speaker 1: and do a little fucking good. Anyway. With that ran over,
1:14:38
Speaker 1: it is recommendation time for watching. I am going to
1:14:42
Speaker 1: recommend Game Changer on dropout TV. Now. Am I trying
1:14:47
Speaker 1: to figure it away to befriend Sam Reisch so that
1:14:51
Speaker 1: I could end up on one of the dropout things
1:14:54
Speaker 1: for some reason at one point? Maybe? But also I
1:14:58
Speaker 1: really really enjoy Game Changer. It's so fun. For reading.
1:15:03
Speaker 1: You know what I read. I read Murder, she wrote,
1:15:11
Speaker 1: Dying to Retire. Listen. It's a real book. You can
1:15:15
Speaker 1: buy it, you can read it. I did. It was fun.
1:15:19
Speaker 1: And for listening, I have been listening to Sinister Societies.
1:15:23
Speaker 1: It's a cult podcast or a podcast about cults by
1:15:28
Speaker 1: Hannah and Serati from Red Handed Again. I found their
1:15:32
Speaker 1: voices so sothing, and I keep learning about really weird,
1:15:39
Speaker 1: weird cults. It's it's amazing. But yeah, that's what I've
1:15:43
Speaker 1: been listening to. It's an older podcast, but it's still
1:15:46
Speaker 1: a goody. And with that rant over, I shall bid
1:15:50
Speaker 1: you add you au revoir adios. If we diss e
1:15:55
Speaker 1: my friends, Bye bye
