103. Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves (Listener Choice!)

Load Bearing Beams: A Movie Podcast

At the suggestion of our friend StitchAndStoryTime, we take a look at 1991's Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. This movie was a colossal hit in its day, and it's got a little something for everyone—tree houses and homemade gadgets and traps for the kids, sword battles for Dad, romance for Mom, and a healthy amount of the Dark Arts for Matt Stokes.

This movie is nuts and we had a lot of fun talking about it for over two hours (sorry/you're welcome).

Next week: Friend of the Show Wade Hymel returns, and we reconsider GoldenEye (1995)!
