This week, Travis is joined by Dr Niki Ackermans to talk about the 2001 period rom-com action jousting movie, A Knight's Tale. Starring Heath Ledger, Shannyn Sossamon, and Rufus Sewell. Also in the movie are Paul Bettany, Alan Tudyk, Mark Addy and Laura Fraser. It's the story of a peasent squire who fakes being a knight to chase the glory of tournament jousting. It's over the top, silly, and anachronistic. But is it actually a fun one? So Let's find out...

Listen to Niki when she's on DTNS briefs talking science, and find her at her website nicoleackermans.com or on bluesky
