We’re ending Robin Hood Month with the Taron Egerton, Jamie Foxx, Ben Mendelsohn action adventure with Tim Minchin, which Johnny is most excited about, but will the Bono’s Daughter-starring film win the hearts of the podcasters, or is it more rich-robbing than poor-giving?
259 - ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES
You know it’s true, everything we do, we do it for Alan Rickman impressions. It’s time for the Kevin Costner-but-really-Alan-Rickman Robin Hood adventure, where scenery is chewed, the f-word is used and explosions occur. What will Johnny make of a 2+ hour film with no archery contest? Will anything be able to bring him into the fun of the legend of Robin Hood or is this month a lost cause?
258 - DISNEY'S ROBIN HOOD
Second go around with the legend of Robin Hood and this time it’s Disney’s crime to answer for, stealing from The Jungle Book to give to the poor, animation-wise. We take a dive into the formation of furries, and other cultures over the recent generations, discuss who could voice the live action-ish redux, and if Robin Hood is capable of being a cinematic adventure at any point.
257 - THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD
Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland star in this very early take on the cinematic legacy of Robin Hood, as we begin a month of Robin Hood films. Andrew reminisces on his time in college, Johnny talks Irish cinema experiences, trips to Wales for Gavin And Stacey locales, and a lot is made of Flynn’s life and… terrible terrible deeds. Also, I guess, something about taking from the rich and giving to the poor.
