Matinee Heroes is a podcast dedicated to exploring hero cinema – from adventurers, heroes, and superheroes; from Jedi to buddy cops; from the Wild West, to the distant past, to futures both hopeful and dystopian, from ancient lands to the deepest reaches of outer space. In a time when we need heroes more than ever, Alan, Elisabeth and Craig will try to understand just what makes our cinematic heroes tick, and how we can use that heroism in our everyday life.
A KNIGHT’S TALE
Born a peasant, William Thatcher sets out to change his stars, win the heart of a noble maiden, and shake up the medieval world around him. With the help of his loyal friends, he enters the brutal world of tournament jousting, where he must prove he has the courage, skill, and heart to become a legend.
Craig and Elisabeth talk about Chaucer, naughty cross-stitching, droopy eyes and the movie “A Knight’s Tale” on this week’s Matinee Heroes!
