Sword and Bored

A Year of Sword and Bored!  Thanks for all of the listens.  On this episode, we talk about how weird and delightful THE FIFTH ELEMENT is, poorly hum the music from a lot of these movies, how KRULL is immensely buoyed by Richard Horner's score, set dressing and dreamy design, how DEATHSTALKER AND THE WARRIORS FROM HELL is just atrocious, and how we're glad to be able to do this with each other for...

On this episode, we're joined by Lars' Friend Rex, we talk about the Pretty good BRAVE, I regale with tales of the craziest festival I've ever heard of, how CAST A DEADLY SPELL is a great idea hampered by execution, Eleanor runs through the recording booth multiple times, how THE WIZARDS OF LOST KINGDOM is a big ol' pile of nuthin', how Roger Corman is one of the most infuriating characters in fil...

On this episode, we talk about how THE LAST AIRBENDER is a hot pile of bleh, we talk about how the show was so much better, bad acting, the problem with Adaptations that don't...adapt, and moving cross country!

We are back from our Holiday Hiatus with three themed movies this time.  We talk about the pretty okay KNIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, comment about moving and why time moves weirdly, the godawful NUTCRACKER AND THE FOUR REALMS, swords in ponds and pitch our own Hallmark movies, and the utterly, astoundingly wonderful KLAUS!  

On this episode, we actually talk about good movies, the ambitious but flawed and fun BRIGHT, our boring lives, the fantastic EXCALIBUR and we actually argue about it for a LONG time, some talks of film language and random asides as normal!

Hey this is a fun little conversation we had during the recording of episode 13 that didn't quite fit with the theme, but I didn't wanna waste it, so consider it a little bonus. 

We're back with what might be the most trying time we've had so far!  We talk about life, our hobbies, the monolith of Disney and ALADDIN(2019) and I shoehorn my love of Edgar Wright and Mass Effect, we discuss The Asylum and the utterly, utterly abysmal LORD OF THE ELVES, and try to find something, anything worth talking about in it!  

In this remaster/rereleased episode because I didn't format the episode properly, we're joined by Rank And Vile's Quincy, talking about Dungeons and Dragons, the aptly titled THE WEIRD MAN and how it's a visual feast, how Quincy and Lars are cowards for not liking VAN HELSING even if I say it's kind of crap, McFarland Toys and how they're only good sometimes, the least Terry Gilliam movie possible...

We're back with another Triple Feature, talking about the PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN Trilogy, how they hold up, their lack of piracy, why Geoffrey Rush is amazing, how CURSE OF THE BLACK PEARL is amazing, how DEAD MAN'S CHEST is okay, and how AT WORLD'S END's bonkers finale makes for great viewing!

On another special Time Trial, we talk about the midlevel Mel Brook's ROBIN HOOD: MEN IN TIGHTS in under 3 minutes, and how it's not exactly based on what you think it is!

Episode 10!  On this special Episode, we talk about TIME BANDITS and how it's beautifully insane, discuss the blue, grey and angst of TWILIGHT, and our special guest brings PRINCE VALIANT(1954) as a movie from his childhood!

On this episode, we go back to our roots and talk about two awful ones, how P-51 DRAGON FIGHTER could have been great if it'd been an actual movie, how Hollywood needs more weird movies, how DWARVES OF DRAGON MOUNTAIN is just so, so bad, some bad puns, and Lars' inability to keep his son's name straight!

On this special episode, we run out the clock on Podbean's free service, talk about MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL because we know everything's already been said about it before, and quickly talk about a Christmas!

This episode we talk about the missed opportunites of INKHEART and by extension Last Action Hero, how utterly Bananas ROBIN HOOD(2018) is and how it seems like everyone kinda missed the point of it, Lars' kids' first comiccon, and how we're kinda sorta totally boring!

This time around, we talk about WARRIOR AND THE SORCERESS and how utterly terrible it is, how much a stellar theme song can do for a movie in DRAGONHEART, the differences between fruit spreads, and on this fantasy podcast, way too long about Star Trek!   Lindsey Ellis' Documentary on The Hobbit:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uTRUQ-RKfUs

This time around we have a Nic Cage double feature, talking about SEASON OF THE WITCH and it's blandness, how SORCERER'S APPRENTICE is wayyyy better than it should be, statues fighting, giving into Game of Thrones commentary, actor career trajectories, all to distract you from how I lost a lot of my recording and had to redo it in a literal closet!

On this episode, we try not to talk about Game of Thrones, talk about how solid DRAGONSLAYER is, character actors and how we think of them, SOLOMON KANE being better than expected, and meander more than we should!

After a hiatus we are back!  We talk about ATOR THE FIGHTING EAGLE and repairing clothes, DEATHSTALKER II and the use of guards who don't patrol, and predictions for indie darling Game of Thrones!

On This (lateish) episode, we talk about what movies we had in rotation as kids, how THE NEVERENDING STORY was sort of okay,  how the eyes in BEOWULF(2007) seem to draw off into the distance, and being exposed to media way too early!

On this week's episode, mics work weirdly, we talk about aging and it's effects on drinking and festivals, the wholesomeness of STARDUST, if a Power Ranger qualifies as a superhero, and how awful THE ONE WARRIOR is!

 Welcome to Sword and Bored, where we talk about fantasy and fantasy related films.  On our introductory episode we talk about our metric, our rules, a bit about RETURN OF THE KING, about how terrible DEATHSTALKER is and how he doesn't really stalk death, and at the unexpectedly okay DRAGONFYRE.
