Episode 22 Redux: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
Episode Summary
"Do not meddle in the affairs of podcasters, for they are subtle and quick to anger, especially when they somehow lose an entire episode of audio." - Tolkien, Probably.
HEY so this is a VERY SPECIAL episode, in so much as its a remaster of our first discussion of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, episode 22. I say FIRST because this was supposed to be a discussion of the recent A24 film, but orc got Stef's audio! so we have to rerecord it! Our wonderful editor James stepped into to remaster this old episode for you to keep you entertained until we can get that put together for you, hopefully next week. Enjoy!
