This episode we talk about the missed opportunites of INKHEART and by extension Last Action Hero, how utterly Bananas ROBIN HOOD(2018) is and how it seems like everyone kinda missed the point of it, Lars' kids' first comiccon, and how we're kinda sorta totally boring!

This time around, we talk about WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS and how utterly terrible it is, how much a stellar theme song can do for a movie in DRAGONHEART, the differences between fruit spreads, and on this fantasy podcast, way too long about Star Trek!

This time around we have a Nic Cage double feature, talking about SEASON OF THE WITCH and it's blandness, how SORCERER'S APPRENTICE is wayyyy better than it should be, statues fighting, giving into Game of Thrones commentary, actor career trajectories, all to distract you from how I lost a lot of my recording and had to redo it in a literal closet!

On this week's episode, mics work weirdly, we talk about aging and it's effects on drinking and festivals, the wholesomeness of STARDUST, if a Power Ranger qualifies as a superhero, and how awful THE ONE WARRIOR is!

Sword and Bored
Lars and Luke, Brothers in Arms, talking about every fantasy film they've ever seen, want to see, what makes them tick, what makes them not work, what's better, what's worse.
What we define as a fantasy: If it's readily apparent, if someone could or does pull out a sword and it doesn't require additional context to make sense, it's a fantasy. Raiders of the Lost Ark isn't a fantasy. The Mummy is.
This arbitrary definition will be used and ignored at a moments notice for comedy.
