Your original dynamic duo is back for a chat about the beloved Arthurian legend of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight! The guys break down the story, why they love it so much, and what the strange story structure is exploring about virtue in the context of Arthurian legend. Then they dig into the critically-acclaimed (but also controversial) film version by David Lowery that was released in 2019. Why are there so many changes, and how do they change the meaning of the story? And what's with the ending? Listen to the end for an interpretation of the film you might not have heard before.
