#47 - A Knight’s Tale | Directed by Brian Helgeland (with Shelby Schwieterman and Sam Frontera of The Rom Complex)

Tune in as Shelby Schwieterman and Sam Frontera (The Rom Complex) hang out on 2CC to cover the 2001 rock ‘n roll medieval sports adventure, A Knight’s Tale. They also chat about Nike product placement, the aural creativity of foley artists, and whether or not Rufus Sewell always plays villains (considering Arthur looked up The Man in the High Castle post-recording and found out that he does indeed play the main antagonist as the Reichsführer of Nazi America, let’s say the answer is “yes”).

Directed by Brian Helgeland (42), A Knight’s Tale stars Heath Ledger, Shannyn Sossamon, Rufus Sewell, Paul Bettany, Alan Tudyk, Mark Addy, Laura Fraser, Berenice Bejo, James Purefoy, and Christopher Cazenove.

Spoilers start at 12:00

Note: Arthur was mistaken. Helgeland’s Legend is a gangster movie, not a spy movie.

Good Word:

• Sam: ABC’s Abbott Elementary

• Shelby: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski

• Arthur: Love and Monsters
