Summary

This week, we've rounded up our favorite historians and subjected them to yet another absolutely terrible movie--this time it's Ridley Scott's 'Robin Hood,' a nearly 150-minute long film that sucks. Who could not say they loved a long digression into the Magna Carta's origins or a sequence we can only call Medieval Saving Private Ryan? You will enjoy this.

ways because they are massively inequitable. They were, they were not good. They paid for stupid stuff

like for Richard the Lionheart to pons around most ponsley, uh, and like do whatever the fuck. And I'm,

I'm like not pro, you know, taxes in the medieval period. But I am massively pro taxes in the modern period when there is a state apparatus and in which

Yes.

1:17.0

Thank you, Ridley Scott.
