This week I’m shaking out my mullet, dying my goatee blond, and getting my duel on, all while talking about the latest historical drama from Ridley Scott, ‘The Last Duel’, with the help of the great D.T. from Space Castle!

Find D.T. and his wonderful show on twitter @spacecastlepod or on their website https://spacecastlepod.com/

The Last Duel is a 2021 epic historical drama film directed by Ridley Scott from a screenplay by Nicole Holofcener, Ben Affleck, and Matt Damon, based on the 2004 book The Last Duel: A True Story of Trial by Combat in Medieval France by Eric Jager. Set in medieval France, the film stars Damon as Jean de Carrouges, a knight who challenges his former friend, squire Jacques Le Gris (Adam Driver) to a judicial duel after Jean's wife, Marguerite (Jodie Comer), accuses Jacques of raping her. The events leading up to the duel are divided into three distinct chapters, reflecting the contradictory perspectives of the three main characters. Affleck also stars in a supporting role as Count Pierre d'Alençon.
