Episode 109: King Arthur (2004) with Dr. Brian Buchanan
Today we’re joined by Dr. Brian Buchanan to review King Arthur (2004), a modern retelling of the ancient myth based on “recently discovered archaeological evidence,” allegedly. Brain leads us on a journey beyond Hadrian’s Wall and helps us tease apart this movie’s tangled mess of Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Picts, Sarmatians, and more.
