In this episode, we continue our medieval styled Fantasy soujourn. Though some technical difficulties prevented him from joining us, Michael has left us with his pick for this block leading us to check out M. J. Bassett’s Solomon Kane from 2009. There’s a lot to love here, but Jason lays down some fair criticism on where the film perhaps fell short of greatness. Dustin gushes his heart out over this one championing it as an underseen gem. But before all that, we geek out over Robert E. Howard and lay down plenty of context on the literary source material. And so much more!
