The Canterbury Fails episodes
- Bright and Ancient: Ladies, Food, Doubles, Pajamas
Matt and David trip, stumble, wax, and explode about Gawain arrival in the castle, the two ladies, and how to make fish. Plus a double double of a double cocktail.
56 min - Time After Time: Chronological Layering, First Green, Last Light
Yes, a Cyndi Lauper shout out. A swirl of seasons, feasts, and yesterdays many as our brave-faced hero sets out into both imaginary and real landscapes, while Matt and David enjoy a breezy floral delight and an abyssal dark power of not one but two drinks. Coley really outdid himself.
58 min - Heads Do Roll: Dead Man Rises and Dead Man Walking
The Green Knight wants to play the sketchiest Christmas game ever and Gawain both wins it and loses it. David and Matt drink a failure of cocktail that is baby-shit hued and jet-fuel strength .
1 hr 11 min - Troy's Fall and the Green Knight's Rise: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Begins
David and Matt stan out on the world's greatest poem, discuss the Fall of Troy and poetic ambiguity, and drink a twice flamed wildly dramatic saffron-tinted heavy hitter.
59 min - Hereward the Wake: Neofascist Guerrilla Resistance Lackey
A wild romancish history--human faced bears, swamps, English-dubbed knights--coupled with a delicious smoky honeyed treat: the Scotch Neg!
58 min - Pride of Life: Life will Never Die! and a Layered Toasty Citrus Special
Special guest stars Matt Sergi and Dylan Coley crash the Fails to discuss the unheralded and wild morality play about Life learning to Die and learning to Live, while Matt and David slowly sip a brown and yellow stripey concoction .
1 hr 13 min - Rising of 1381: A 'Florlegium' of 'Rebellious' 'Literature' and a Spiced Apple Brandy 'Cocktail'
Secret codes, schizoid populism, radical Christian National MEGA-lomaniac spit-swapping doggerel and the seismic priestly violence washed down with an allspice lemon delight.
1 hr 5 min - Peterborough Chronicle: So Much Pain and Woe--and that's just the drink
The barrage of William's assholery as he wrecks his own people, and the barrage of high Scoville agony as David wrecks Matt.
58 min - Richard the Redeless: Terrible Poem Terrible Drink
Ex post facto fake news propaganda for Henry 4 with a purple ass-crap Nixonian cocktail.
1 hr 4 min - Old English Daniel: Minds Destroyed - Belshazzar's and Matt and David's
Tyrants resists dreams and a tiki exploding fire brain breaker
