In which Your Hands and Special Guest Hand Dr. Shiloh Carroll discuss the 2001 Sports Jousting Epic A KNIGHT'S TALE.

In this episode:We talk about Shiloh's new book, The Medieval Worlds of Neil Gaiman, and how you, the listener, can win a FREE SIGNED COPY OF THE BOOK.Your Hands (and Guest) go deep into the wonderfully anachronistic verisimilitude of A Knight's Tale, a film about how naked Geoffrey Chaucer could be at any given moment.Shiloh heaps praise upon the historically accurate bits of the film, oddly assisted in their efforts by the fact that the filmmakers did not give a single shit about accuracy, like not even a little bit. Merry places the movie in its proper context of a film that intentionally and unselfconsciously draws on the media that came before it.Clint talks about Jocelyn's cleavage, and how Kate can GET IT.Everyone loves Robert Baratheon, Steve the Pirate, Mace Tyrell, and Alexander Hamilton.We rank the film against the other great sports movies of all time.Additional readingBUY SHILOH'S BOOK YOU JERKSRagman's Harbour (sic).Join the WBAIntro & Outro music courtesy Sid Luscious & The Pants.
