Season 7, Episode 3 (Originally released on March 31, 2023)

Michael and Nick continue their long trend of discussing high fantasy by delving into the world of George Lucas and Ron Howard’s WILLOW! This film is on both of our host’s shame lists and it was an exciting one! On this episode we discuss why some fantasy films work better than others, Nick’s aversion to Val Kilmer (and Michael’s love for him), Willow’s “second act” problem, and even give a couple of fantasy recommendations.

As always, please rate, review, and subscribe.
