How do we begin with this story?
So now we have many, many King Arthur movies out there, right? There's one from 1953 (go back to episode 19.2 where we talked about 'Knights of the Round-table), there's the (quasi) classic Disney one from the 60's, John Boorman's Excalibur, and Monty Python and the Holy Grail (not to mention the 2004 Clive Owen one, lest I forget... okay, I did, sorry, it was like 13 years ago y'know!) But we really needed one more, which really, like, got IN to the myth of that sword. It was sitting there all by its lonesome, and it needed a little love and care and polish... okay, where were we?
Right, Guy Ritchie's KING ARTHUR: THE LEGEND OF THE SWORD starring Charlie Hunnam and Jude Law and some other people who may or may not be actors in other things. We saw it, and we're going to talk about it - and Jack's wife Korey makes a brief appearance at the beginning so don't tune away for that.
(Spoilers at 23 mins in, just listen for John Cleese chiming in with, "It's only a flesh wound)
