We’re kicking off 2026 with a big milestone! After learning that *What’s the Scuttlebutt* has been named Feedspot’s **#1 War Movie Podcast**, we celebrate the honor by diving into even more war films that may have flown under your radar. Don gives a full review of a new 2025 release that tells the incredible and often-overlooked story of how mail was distributed during World War II—and the unlikely group of people who made sure letters reached the front lines. Jeff and Dennis also bring their own movie recommendations for your watchlist. The conversation then shifts to history preservation as Jeff and Dennis share an update on the formation of their new organization, COGG, dedicated to preserving Texas history, along with details about an upcoming event scheduled for February. Don also sits down with Dennis to discuss the long-standing Navy tradition of reusing ship names after vessels have been sunk, how common the practice is, and the history behind it. All that, plus plenty more history, movies, and conversation, in the first episode of 2026.
