Episode 27: Splitting Arrows- The Socialist Outlaw We've Been Waiting for with The Adventures of Robin Hood in 1955

Backtracking in our chronological journey a little because it was decided that we HAD to delve into some of the more influential television series, starting with 'The Adventures of Robin Hood' from 1955 starring Richard Greene. We only sampled four episodes, a tiny fraction of the show's run, but we had a LOT to say about them. A wide range of topics are discussed within this episode relating to storytelling, medieval history, McCarthyism, disease, the Jewish Diaspora, and somehow the Mirror Universe of Star Trek. Plus there's a bonus review of malmsey, Friar Tuck's fortified wine of choice, at the end of the episode. With Richard Hopkins-Lutz and Emily HoltEpisodes reviewed include: The Coming of Robin HoodThe MoneylenderErrand of MercyThe York TreasureMonty Python Parody The Saturday Matinee Theater from The Longbox Crusade doing episode by episode recaps: http://saturdaymatineetheatre.longboxcrusade.com/ #ImFollowingRobinHoodInto the Greenwood is produced by Thaddeus Papke Theme music is by Plastic3For more from Into the Greenwood:https://www.instagram.com/intogreenwood/https://twitter.com/intogreenwoodhttps://www.facebook.com/intogreenwoodTo support the podcast go to:https://www.patreon.com/IntoGreenwoodorhttps://buymeacoffee/intogreenwoodOur selected charity: Trees, Water & [email protected] the show
