Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)
Manage episode 300310404 series 2912675
A midwestern American in the 1300s does medieval battle against the slimiest of bearded slimeballs and his horrifying mom/witch.
This week we revisit a forgotten blockbuster, the 2nd biggest movie of 1991 after Terminator 2: Judgement Day. Kevin Costner stars as the fabled Robin of Locksley, in this dark retelling a veteran of the Crusades returned home to find Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham poised to claim the throne of England. With one of the greatest movie themes and one of the worst British accents, the Gi5 boys sit through a severe mess, coming close-to-but-never-quite-reaching the status of guilty pleasure. Enjoy.
Also, one thing we forgot to mention in air -
In the beginning Marian's brother, after having been locked away in prison for 5 years, gives Robin his family ring as he dies...Where was he hiding that ring??
Joining us for his third appearance, the one-and-only (which I'm realizing we say about every guest) Mike Lacy. Lacy has a (fucking still) forthcoming podcast centered around the filmography of one Thomas Cruise, so be sure to keep an eye (and ear) out for that. Days of Thetan: A Mission into the Impossible Tom Cruise, available soon where ever you get your podcasts.
