It's the Quest we can't Quit. In the early 2010s, Hollywood execs timidly pushed through the mists if Avalon in search of their own Holy Grail -- marketable IP. In the hopes of creating an interlocking universe of superheroic Knights, Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow tapped sorcery skeptic franchise veteran Guy Ritchie to helm the project. Can Guy Ritchie's cockney sensibility transform Romance to a genre fit for kings? Or is King Arthur: Legend of the Sword another cynical cash grab by an industry terrified of new ideas?
Joined by Anna Menta (Decider) Caleb and Frank discuss Sherlock Holmes and the drinking habits of David Beckham and Guy Ritchie, and pitch other directors that should take a stab at King Arthur.
