The co-hosts of The Maniculum help us uncover some of the secrets of A24’s latest film The Green Knight, which stars Dev Patel and Alicia Vikander. From our favorite Arthurian heroes to the moody atmosphere of David Lowery’s lush landscapes, no stone goes unturned in this discussion.After you’re finished with this episode, get ready for what’s on deck next! We’ll welcome “Wizzy” from @SailorMoonWisdom to discuss Kazuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun.
