ABOUT THIS EPISODE

Send us Fan Mail

We've got another new theme this week and this time we will be delving into "movies that could not be made today". There could be various social, technical, political or other reasons why but regardless, these will be movies that would not see the light of day in our modern times.

Up first we have the Arthurian legend fever-dream that is 1981's Excalibur. Featuring appearances by Patrick Stewart, Liam Neeson, Helen Mirren and starring Nigel Terry as Arthur we have Merlin the magician helping Arthur Pendragon unite the Britons around the Round Table of Camelot, even as dark forces conspire to tear it apart. This one is a weird one that would most likely not be made today for a variety of reasons that we get into.

We talk about all kinds of other things as usual so sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
