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.
