We take a dive into Arthuriana, adaptation, and more, as we talk about The Green Knight wit our good friend Jay!

Considering how not only the poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight connects with the Dev Patel film, but also exploring the themes involved and how they can be treated by a contemporary framing.

And, of course, as we talk about adapting things, we go beyond just this pair, briefly going into Scorcese's The Last Temptation of Christ, but also interpretations of broader Arthuriana, and of course, how could we not go into Lord of the Rings?

Lots to dive into and explore in history and today with this one, enjoy!

We're back into Science Fiction, and with a great friend and comrade! As Breht from RevLeftRadio fame joins us to talk about the relationship of this genre and Empires.

Talking the roots of imperial representation, how we can critique them, and how a lot goes back into colonialism, fascist projects and more.

A wonderful dive into how this genre and this representation and structure connect, enjoy!
