Into the Greenwood

The literal translation of this film's title is "The Archer of Fire", but it was released in English as "Long Live Robin Hood" and later had a VHS release with the title "The Scalawag Bunch". Towards the end of this episode we grapple with this film's strange identity crisis. Which is appropriate as the main character seems to be having a bit of an identity crisis as well. Join us as we watch the charming and exuberant Guliano Gemma beat Russel Crowe to the punch in terms of stealing the identity of Robin Hood from a dead man.
With Richard Hopkins-Lutz, Maryanne "Momo" Papke, and Jeff Wilkinson

As an author, blogger, and podcaster, Icy Sedgwick has been making a name for herself with all things folklore-related across the internet. Her recent book, Rebel Folklore, from DK Press with vivid illustrations by Melissa Jarram, is a journey around the globe to look at folk heroes, terrifying monsters, agents of death, and all manner of beings that wouldn't quite fit in at your average society tea party. Icy not only introduces this host of colorful characters, but brings up applicable lessons we can learn for our modern lives when we consider them.

February of 2024 saw the release of a brand new Robin Hood-centric computer game developed with the Unreal Engine and released on Steam. It is an open world role playing game, which means that your character gains new skills and abilities as you navigate them through an explorable digital world. Additionally, the game utilizes base building and crafting elements that encourage you to create your own secret lair for Robin and his followers. Tomasz Stajszczak, the co-lead for the game's development, CEO of the company, and a translation studies scholar specializing in video game localization, sat down with me for an interview about the new game released by the company Mean Astronauts, 'Robin Hood - Sherwood Builders'.

This episode is the second part of our look at how and why creators have begun incorporating supernatural elements into their Robin Hood tales. In this interview with novelist J. Tullos Hennig, we examine the different elements that define her Robin and how another, nearly forgotten medieval outlaw tale, became an integral part of her five part novel series.

Since the internet dearly loves a ranked list, we've started ranking all of the screen adaptations of Robin Hood starting with Douglas Fairbanks as a part of the Splitting Arrows series. In honor of his 50th anniversary, Rick and I devoted nearly an entire hour to discussing just where in the ranking this animated version of Robin Hood belongs.

Give us a listen and then find us with the handle @intogreenwood on social media to tell us why we were wrong to rank him as we did. (Or preferably why you think we were right!)

You can find our initial creation of the list with the first half dozen or so Robin Hood films on patreon.com/intogreenwood

Patricia Gonsalves is the founder of Lykopis Archery, an expert on historical archery, a competitor in international traditional archery competitions, was the archery consultant for the television shows, 'Arrow' and 'The Flash', and was the first person that came to my mind when I first started this podcast.
