Introduction: We love heroic tales like those of King Arthur and his knights of the round table. While Arthur is known for pulling his famous sword Excalibur from the stone, it is the knights of the Round Table that get the most fanfare. We read of the exploits of some of these men like Sir Lancelot.…

We've seen many attempts at transferring Mallory's Le Morte d'Arthur and its variants onto the screen, but none of them capture the spirit of the original quite like Excalibur, John Boorman's 1981 film that can be called, without insult, “aggressively two-dimensional.” Join us for a conversation about how Boorman makes the experience of watching a film like the experience of reading the legends. We also talk about the two best portrayals of King Arthur: Nigel Terry and Graham Chapman. If the conversation makes you want to read the original material, you can find a great edition of Le Morte d'Arthur here. Incredible bumper music by John Deley.

Degemer Mat, bienvenue ! Ils l'ont fait : oui au Mafeu, Excalibur est fichée dans un caisson de basses. Ici un street artiste rennais, Jefferson, fait un hommage à Kameloot et Alexandre Astier sur une grande fresque, ici le Roi Arthur a de grosses bagouzes et les truskels tourbillonnent, ici on danse, partout, sur tous les sons, qu'on soit habillés en vache, en moine, en chevalier, en kilt… Joyeuse et intergénérationnelle ambiance hier à Bréal-sous-Montfort, bien sûr pour les show puissants de SCH, Rilès, Eddy de Pretto ou Justice dont la géniale proposition est clairement le meilleur live sur les routes en ce moment. Mais le cœur du festival du Roi Arthur bat aussi du côté du King Dôme qui fait la part belle aux musiques celtiques et bretonnes, ce soir on y verra Plouz&Foen, duo de rappeurs qui se sont rencontrés à l'école Diwan et qui chantent en breton. Et bien sûr à la Kouign Zone, où l'on ne mange pas que des Kouign Aman, et on danse fort sur des DJs des environs, comme ce soir les Nantaises Britney Speed et Lowbass. Côté pop on est sous le charme de la découverte du trio rennais, stërnn, et on trépigne en attendant la montée sur scène bien tardive, 23h35, d'un garçon qui nous raconte ses extraordinaires histoires d'amour : St Graal

Degemer Mat ! C'est reparti pour un tour ! Après une petite pause, la tournée se poursuit. Où sommes-nous ? Nous sommes sur la plaine du Mafeu, à Bréal-sous-Monfort, pour le festival du roi arthur, un festival adolescent, 14ème édition, mais déjà lé-gen-daire, comme dirait Nicky Doll. La Bretagne, on le sait est une terre de festivals, une terre de fêtes toutes génératioins confondues, il y a d'ailleurs beaucoup de points communs entre les raves et les fest noz. Faire venir dans un coin de campagne des grandes figures de la musique, en Bretagne, on sait faire : la preuve ce week-end au Royaume de ce bon Roi Arthur : Franz Ferdinand, SCH, Eddy de Pretto, Justice, Yoa, Vald, Bigflo & Oli… ici aussi, sur la Kouign Zone, on danse avec des jeunes artistes électroniques venus de Bretagne et d'ailleurs, et juste à côté le King Dôme, devant lequel trône majestueuse, l'épée Excalibur, est dévouée aux musiques celtiques, qu'elles viennent de Bretagne, d'Écosse ou d'Irlande. Une potion magique concoctée depuis 16 ans ici au Mafeu et pour tenter d'en comprendre un peu les secrets, on attaque cette émission avec un des druides de cette belle aventure, le directeur et co-fondateur du festival du Roi Arthur, Adrien Gaillard. Avec aussi Unklevon, notre ancien résident ainsi que Yannick qui représente le groupe Plantec.
For our Ninth Anniversary Episode, the Shat Crew draws the sword from the stone and rides into John Boorman's epic Excalibur (1981). Commissioned by Chris, Mike, and Ollie to celebrate their father Robert's 60th birthday, this Arthurian fever dream delivers knights, magic, and more shiny armor than a Manowar album cover. From Nicol Williamson's scene-stealing Merlin to Helen Mirren's wickedly alluring Morgana, the movie is equal parts mythic grandeur and campy chaos. Gene marvels at the operatic visuals, while Big D is dazzled by the medieval carnage. Together they debate whether this is the definitive retelling of the Arthurian legend or just a two-and-a-half-hour bad trip brought to life. As we celebrate nine years of podcasting, join us for knights in shining armor, incestuous twists and the most metal “O Fortuna” montage ever put to film. Long live the once and future pod! Plot Summary:In Excalibur (1981), director John Boorman reimagines the Arthurian legend with a mix of operatic spectacle and raw brutality. From Uther Pendragon's lustful betrayal to Arthur's rise as king, the film chronicles the rise and fall of Camelot through battles, betrayal, and forbidden love. With unforgettable performances from Nicol Williamson as Merlin and Helen Mirren as Morgana, Excalibur stands as one of the most iconic—and most eccentric—fantasy films of the 1980s.

Kung Artur av Britannien, monarken med de tappra riddarna kring det Runda bordet, framstår för många som medeltidens ikon. Blott namnen – Lancelot, Gawain, Tristan, Mordred, Merlin, Guinevere, Morgaine le Fay – väcker minnen av barndomens sagor, Camelots krenelerade murar, tinnar, torn och magi. Och vad sägs om svärdet Excalibur och den heliga Graal?Men hur mycket är sant? Har kung Artur verkligen funnits? I så fall: när levde han, och hur såg han på världen? Varför är referenserna till honom i samtida texter så få? Vad kan arkeologi och bevarade medeltida skrifter berätta om England under tiden efter Romarrikets fall och under folkvandringstiden?I sommarreprisen av podden Harrisons dramatiska historia samtalar Dick Harrison, professor i historia vid Lunds universitet, och Katarina Harrison Lindbergh, fackboksförfattare, om kung Artur och berättarkulturen runt honom.Värt att notera är att många av de mest livfulla berättelserna om Artur och hans riddare tillkom först på 1100–1200‑talen. De speglar mer aristokratins estetik och värderingar än folkets tankar under tidigare medeltid. Historien om Graalens introduktion i europeisk litteratur – som en icke‑auktoriserad helig relik – är både fascinerande och avslöjande. Ännu mer intressant är hur munkar i Glastonbury konstruerade en arturiansk mystik kring sitt kloster, något som fortfarande färgar populärkulturen idag.Bild: Gobeläng från ca 1385 av Artur som en av de nio värdiga, med vapensköld knuten till honom.

This week we discuss the film EXCALIBUR! The magical sword of Excalibur starts off in the hands of British lord Uther Pendragon (Gabriel Byrne) and then, years later, finds its way to his bastard son, Arthur (Nigel Terry), the knave destined to become king. Aided by the sorcerer Merlin (Nicol Williamson), Arthur fulfills his fate by bringing together the Knights of the Round Table at Camelot and unifying the country. However, this flawed monarch faces greater tests ahead in pursuit of love, the Holy Grail and his nation's survival.

Peter Chesbrough joins us to discuss his research into the pervasive legends of King Arthur. Is this person a true historical figure? What is the basis for the myths and stories?

In Las Vegas, I stayed at the Excalibur where they have a really good brunch buffet, we watched the Tournament of Kings show & we saw Carrot Top do stand up. It was a fun trip.
In this compelling conversation, holistic nutritionist Stacey Heiny sits down with Melissa Maris, a passionate advocate for raw vegan living who has been thriving on this lifestyle since 2014. After years of yo-yo dieting, severe gut issues, and hitting rock bottom with her health at age 34, Melissa discovered the transformative power of a low-fat raw vegan diet.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into the enigmatic history of Chicago's Excalibur Club, housed in a Gothic-style building dating back to 1892. We'll explore its origins as the Chicago Historical Society's headquarters, the tragic events of the Great Chicago Fire, and the evolution into a famed nightclub. Delving into reported hauntings, including the mysterious Lady in White and unexplained phenomena, we'll separate fact from fiction, examining psychological explanations and debunking persistent myths, such as its alleged use as a morgue for Eastland Disaster victims.
Welcome to Colonial Outcasts, the unapologetically anti-imperialist podcast where we break down how Operation Excalibur — an ICE/National Guard raid on LA's MacArthur Park — connects to Netanyahu's "voluntary migration" speech at the White House.

Greg Jenner is joined in medieval Europe by Dr Mary Bateman and comedian Mike Wozniak to learn all about the legends of King Arthur.Most of us have heard of Arthur, Guinevere, Merlin and the Knights of the Round Table. But where do these legends come from? Arthur first appears in the writings of a 9th-Century monk, but he's not the king we know today: no Merlin or Lancelot, no Excalibur, and no Camelot. These elements were added later, as the legends were retold and rewritten across Europe.This episode traces the stories of Arthur and his knights from their early medieval origins, exploring the changes made as they were adapted over the centuries by everyone from French romance authors to Victorian poets, and taking in some famous medieval texts, including the Welsh Mabinogion and Malory's Morte d'Arthur, as well as some lesser-known tales. Along the way, we also look at the places in modern Britain that still bear Arthurian names and the wacky artefacts that have been associated with the legendary king, and ask the crucial question: did King Arthur really exist?This is a radio edit of the original podcast episode. For the full-length version, please look further back in the feed.Hosted by: Greg Jenner Research by: Hannah Cusworth and Jon Norman-Mason Written by: Jon Norman-Mason, Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow, Emma Nagouse, and Greg Jenner Produced by: Emmie Rose Price-Goodfellow and Greg Jenner Audio Producer: Steve Hankey Production Coordinator: Ben Hollands Senior Producer: Emma Nagouse Executive Editor: James Cook
Excalibur, o la revisión del mito del rey Arturo y Merlín, es una de las adaptaciónes más conocidas del tema. Dani Palacios y Juanma González dedican un programa a la película Excalibur, revisión del mito del Rey Arturo a manos de John Boorman estrenada en 1981. Esta fantásía épica dejó en su momento muchas imágenes para el recuerdo, producto de la gloriosa fotografía de Alex Thomson, y es en conjunto una de las obras más apreciadas en torno a esa fábula.
This Episodes Questions: Brians Questions: What are the the most useful 3d prints for a woodworking shop. I often print out small pattern templates and fixtures for hole placement. Even storage solutions for various tools etc... what are your top suggestions? Josh Hi, let's talk about working with laminated plywood. I just picked up about 25 sheets of 3/4”x 22”x6' birch plywood that has Formica laminated on both sides from the free pile of a high volume cabinet shop. I want to encourage everyone to find local cabinet or mill work shops in your area and drive by them often! I do on my commute to and from work. What kind of design/construction considerations would you make when building cabinets with drawers for my garage using only this 3/4” plywood? It will be for my garage. I know it's common to make drawers using thinner plywood but I'm not trying to spend money if I have to. how would you finish the edges? I'm going to make a blanket chest next, The laminate is a fancy textured walnut wood grain that actually looks pretty good. I currently don't have a shop but have some hand tools and hand power tools like a router, circular saw with track, and a lot of imagination! With the help from your podcast I just recently purchased a biscuit jointer and a large (rather intimidating) 45 degree chamfer router bit. Haywood Guys Questions: Hi Guys, I've been listening to your podcast since the beginning and it's by far the best. There's not even a close second. My question is: I want to make shop sawn veneer. I have a band saw with 11” cut capacity, grizzly 8” jointer, a dewalt 735 thickness planner with a Byrd Shelix helical cutter head, but I don't have a drum sander. I would like to end up with 1/16” cherry veneer that is 10” wide, but I'm not sure about the process to make it. Would the thickness planer be too aggressive to remove the bandsaw marks or would I need to purchase a drum sander? Also, after cutting a piece of veneer from the stock, do I need to reflatten the stock before cutting another piece of veneer. In general, I guess what I'm asking is given the set of tools above, how would you go about making veneer? Mike I am building a trestle table out of African Mahogany, more specifically Khaya. I am using 8/4 for the top and 12/4 for the legs. It is going to live on a jalousy window sun room that is not climate controlled in the state of Florida. What finishes do you guys recommend to use to help preventwood movement or warping over time, or is that just going to happen. David Huy's Questions: Hello Gents, This is a bit of a long winded question regarding aftermarket sliders for the table saw and how to best use them. I recently purchased an old Excalibur sliding table from my saw. This is an older model but from my understanding is almost identical to the current SawStop sliders, as SawStop took over the old Excalibur models (maybe this is incorrect or you have more insight?). I mounted the slider to the extension table on the left so I get the full size of the TS top and the slider fence is long enough to reach all the way to the blade. I figured that this way I get the best of both worlds, and I do have the space for it. My purpose for the slider was to help break down sheet goods, manage angled cuts on larger pieces, and to help cut miters on larger case panels. I've made a few cases in the past with mitered corners and running a long case panel on the TS to cut the miters is a bit of a pain. I was hoping that the slider would simplify that process as it would allow the long panel to move over the table smoothly while held square to the blade. Here is the kicker, the slider mounts on the left of the saw which is the direction that the blade tilts. In my mind, this creates a problem as I have to run the panel up-side-down, under the tilted blade, and the offcut would now be dropping on top of the blade where it will create a kickback situation. In general, I wouldn't run the piece "under" the blade when using a rip fence as it is trapped, but with the slider that's not really true. Seems problematic for the offcut but gives more accuracy and control on an otherwise unwieldy piece and may be worth rolling the dice. I figure that with the slider I have plenty of space to stand out of the firing line when that offcut goes flying, but it is probably smarter to avoid the situation in the first place.... What are your thoughts? How are others handling miters with a slider? It seems most folks in North America have them mounted on the left, and most of the saws tilt to that side. Bojan Hey guys I've been listening to lots of episodes of the podcast lately and find it very helpful me being a beginner. This will be a long one but here is the situation, I'm not far from Indianapolis so a couple of you understand the weather. Earlier this year I cut down a couple of trees from a family property before it got demolished for development. Trees were run through a local saw mill and kiln dried for me. When I picked them up from the local guys I brought the stack back and put it in a barn on the family farm. The barn is generally shut up but it is not conditioned. I do all my wood working in my basement at home that is conditioned. I'm getting ready to buy a used 8” jointer to help me handle all these boards. I will not be carrying a large jointer into the basement to do the work it will be at the farm where the wood is stored. Question is, with an unconditioned barn do you think it will be a problem to joint a few boards there, bring them back to the basement Woodshop and let them acclimate for a few weeks before proceeding to plane/cut up for projects? Would it be better to joint just a couple at a time as I'm going to need them or would jointing most of the boards and storing them unconditioned during the year and moving them to the Woodshop as needed be ok? Thanks for the podcast and all the info you guys provide. I've learned multiple things from you guys already and hope to continue learning more. Drew

Chris Cole from One Step Paintball is back in the house as we are celebrating his birthday and discussing one of his favorite movies...Excalibur
The Crusaders held Jerusalem and the Holy Land for a short 88 years (1099-1187). But when Caliph Saladin (a Sunni Kurd) recaptured both the relic of the "True Cross" and Jerusalem itself a third Crusade was called for by Pope Urban III. Among those who answered that call was Richard the Lionheart, the King of England who carried King Arthur's famed sword "Excalibur." In this episode I recount what preceded Saladin's re-conquest of Jerusalem, the challenges of staying hydrated for the Crusaders, the ongoing suspicions and betrayals between Byzantine and Holy Roman Empire Christians, everyday life on the Crusader march, and how Richard and Saladin finally ended their warring. In the show's opening I reflect on American students' deliquencies on their school loans. I also explain still more about the Bible and violence, delineating how I frame the question of violence and/or pacifism from Old Testament to New Testament. Come and enjoy some intellectually fresh Wagyu beef with me!

Since Marvel Comics introduced the X-Men in 1963, Marvel's merry mutants have gone through any number of permutations. Countless characters have joined and left the squad, and the team has produced a slew of spin-off groups that still undeniably fall under the X-banner.

In this episode, supported by OCÚN, Kyra is fresh off competing with the new scoring format at Team Trials. Kyra and Allison together unpack what they missed when they talked about it before actually experiencing it, and how it might change the sport moving forward. They wonder how World Cups will be impacted and get excited for the season to officially start with Kyra heading to China just a few days after this episode was recorded. Then they dive into the latest Olympic announcement: three medals will be awarded for Sport Climbing in LA28 with 76 total athlete spots across lead, boulder, and speed. They take a few educated guesses at how the selection might work, and what this shift means for climbers who've traditionally excelled in more than one discipline. Along the way, they veer into a quick race walking and x games tangents, chat about the Olympics as a brand, and talk about Brooke Raboutou's impressive First Female Ascent of Excalibur, 5.15c, becoming the first woman to climb a route of that grade.
