The Rest is History has lots and lots of WW2 episodes. And lots of episodes about other historical topics. It's crazy how much they release.
The rest is history is pretty good
The Rest is History and Behind the Bastards are both really good history pods and have deep catalogues.
The Rest is History is perfect for this. They recently did a series on Jack the Ripper. Also recommend the episodes on: - The Titanic - Man in the Iron Mask - Gen. Custard (shockingly interesting/entertaining) - Revolutionary War
The Rest is History podcast did a 4 episode series on King Leopold's reign of terror on the Congo. It's an achingly tragic, engrossing and enlightening listen- hands down my favourite podcast series I listened to this year.

This is the podcast I probably listen to most consistently. I like that they usually stick to the topic. ... I like that they get straight into it, it's very information-dense, and my favorite parts are when they know how ridiculous the events or situation is that they're describing and can't help but to break into giggles.
What Went Wrong doesn't review movies, per se, but it covers how they're made. Absolutely fantastic podcast.
If you are into movies, What Went Wrong is so good.
What Went Wrong- I am not a big movie buff, but I love this one!
that gave us What Went Wrong, one of the hosts is a former producer for Wondery, I'm not a movie buff at all but I greatly enjoy that podcast.
