Summary

We finally got around to the thing that everyone told us to do: review Guy Ritchie's King Arthur movie, a film in which the early medieval legend is rendered as a tale of East London geezers. To verify its accuracy, we brought on friends of the show Eleanor Janega (@GoingMedieval) and Patrick Wyman (@Patrick_Wyman). Are you not entertained?

0:38.4

And I was really, I was really disappointed because I thought there would be at least one wife's

0:42.4

boyfriend. And, you know, and I was like, it was short on cucking as far as I'm concerned,

0:47.4

which is why I tune into anything Arthurian.
