Ep 26 - Excalibur (1981)

from The Invasion of the Poddy Snatchers · host Paddy Moore And Niel Garrett

"You're not listening... well, your heart is not. Love is deaf as well as blind." Join us this week as we plunge into the mist-shrouded realm of Excalibur, John Boorman’s bold retelling of the Arthurian legend. We’ll talk about that unforgettable opening sequence, the shifting tones between myth and brutality, and whether the film’s enchantments hold up 40+ years later. Expect tangents about cinematography, Wagnerian echoes, the use of color and shadow, and moments that stuck with us long after the credits rolled.
