Podcasts about king arthur's court

Fall down a weird hole with us in both the literal and figurative sense as we revisit 'A Kid in King Arthur's Court'. Mark is surprised at children type-casting, learns how Queens work, and figures out Medieval Times' sales pitch. Karl finds out this could have really happened, gives screenwriting notes, and calls out a child actor; and Sara reveals how much she knows about baseball, makes a bad joke for children, and gives us some tomato trivia. See if you can spot where we had to take massive breaks! Enjoy!

12-year-old Mikey from New York is hurdled back in time to assume the role of King Arthur. With a few tools from the future and some help from new friends, he just might be able to save Camelot and find his way home!

This week host Eddie and Irving will be Discussing the 1995 live action movie A Kid in King Arthur's Court. Does it hold up after all these years? Find out here on Discussing D Plus Pod: A Discussing Disney Plus podcast.   IG: DiscussingDPlusPod Disney Plus Disney +

via GIPHY All right you primitive screwheads...this episode is devoted to our friend Ashley Williams! Yes, we're taking a trip through the Evil Dead films and TV series. When the original Evil Dead movie first came out, it really shook things up. The camera angles and movements, the strange sound effects, the story, and of course, the charismatic Bruce Campbell, all added up to a hit with horror audiences.The later entries would add more than a little humor to the horror, and that's where it seemed to really take off. Campbell had a gift for playing Ash as a lovable jerk, who was maybe more lucky than good. And he certainly delivered a number of notable one-liners!Your Planet 8 crew will talk about the origins of the Evil Dead film series, how Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell got the idea for the first film and financed it, and was it connected at all to an older film called Equinox? All this and more!We all like the third film, Army of Darkness, the best. It's an odd mix of fantasy, horror, and comedy, but it works really well. Ash pulls a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court act, but despite his technological know-how, he still screws up and conjures up an army of deadites, including his own undead counterpart. There were two different endings and we talk about both the theatrical and director's cut versions.Finally we take a look at the Ash vs. Evil Dead TV show. It only lasted three seasons, but it was well done and really expanded the Evil Dead universe. Will there be more Evil Dead? Perhaps the truth is hidden in the pages of the Necronomicon...Starting with this episode's Sensor Sweep, Chief Engineer Bob will be throwing the spotlight on different artists who normally appear at the Godzilla and anime shows Bob puts on in the Bay Area, but Covid-19 has shut all that down right now. This time we are featuring artist Nick Shev. You can find his work at https://nickshev.bigcartel.com/. Nick does a lot of Godzilla art, but also aliens, mummies, original Halloween art, and more. He also does black light art -he takes a printed lithograph and hand draws details with a luminous marker. You can get lenticular stickers from him too. Take a look, there's a lot of very cool stuff on his site!That's all this time, friends and neighbors. Be sure to share your thoughts on Ash and the Evil Dead. Do you enjoy this film/TV series? Can you see it going on without Bruce Campbell as Ash? We want to know! And you know the drill by now...Twitter: https://twitter.com/Planet8CastFacebook: www.Facebook.com/Planet8PodcastThanks for listening!

We all know that Disney is a little remake-crazy, but it wasn't until this week's episode that it really sunk in HOW crazy. Because it turns out that UNIDENTIFIED FLYING ODDBALL is the third time we're watching a Disney adaptation of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court in less than a year. But because this first adaptation (that we know of...) is from the 1970s, instead of a teenage boy or Whoopi, it's just some dude who travels "back in time" to Camelot to thwart the evil machinations of Merlin and Jim Dale, befriend an elderly King Arthur and his hetero(?) life mate, and totally weird out a poor peasant woman with his terrible notions of romance. Yet somehow this is still the best version of the story we've seen (so far...) - go figure.

Kristine and Bill have their second Twain thing in a row, and second adaptation of "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" in a couple months. This time it's a kid, and he has a Discman and rollerblades, and he says "let's boogie!" It's not great.

It's not déjà vu you're experiencing, D-Lovers; Disney really did make another adaptation of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court a mere three years after the one we watched a few months ago. They really did return to the same location in Budapest. They really did use one of the same lead actresses. Really, the only thing they did differently is instead of a kid who travels through time (and reality - remember that King Arthur and Camelot did not exist) it's Whoopi Goldberg. Which of course means despite being a TV movie, this is obviously the superior adaptation...though don't get it twisted, that's damning A KNIGHT IN CAMELOT with faint praise. 

We return to an old friend in yet another re-telling of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, this time featuring Bugs Bunny. Is this the best version ACYIKAC ever?

The 90s were generally a pretty good decade for Disney, what with the renaissance of their animated features and some beloved sports movies and such. As we've seen before, however, there were some real clunkers in the mix as well. But perhaps none that land with such a dull thud as A KID IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT - a movie so bad it almost makes you wish it had been made in 60s/70s era Disney. At least that way maybe it would be about a baby goat running around a castle instead of some pubescent dud named Calvin zipping around the halls of Camelot on his in-line skates, trying to trick twenty-year-olds into kissing him, and hanging out with an old man in a t-shirt.

The "Kid Who Would Be King" is riding into town, so we're stepping back in time to review the 1995 Disney comedy "A Kid in King Arthur's Court". Starring Thomas Ian Nicholas, Joss Ackland, Paloma Baeza, and pretty much introducing Kate Winslet and Daniel Craig. Leave us a review on iTunes  apple.co/1l8JDjy Tell us what you thought about the movie on Facebook or Twitter:  @FlashbackFlicks www.facebook.com/FlashbackFlickstwitter.com/flashbackflicks

Let's see, what'd we talk about up in this one?  Definitely talked about the volatile organic compounds that create the flavors we experience when eating fruits and vegetables.  We talked about air stink (then and now), and Cher, and Madonna.  We talk about how Bill & Ted might approach the whole Kill Hitler scenario, and we learn about cheerleading.  We turn Kid in King Arthur's Court into a way of life.  Oh, and we finally pin down where Chad at.

In this episode, Lyndsey revisits her VHS copy of the 1995 kids sports flick The Big Green, in which Olivia d'Abo takes it upon herself to teach a bunch of rag-tag rural Texas kids how to become competitive soccer players while dodging the advances of Deputy Steve Guttenberg. The film co-stars John Terry, Patrick Renna, and a goat. Ads on the tape include the Toy Story video game for Sega Genesis and SNES, Man of the House, A Kid in King Arthur's Court, and an extended music video starring Timon and Pumbaa.

A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court is an 1889 novel by American humorist and writer Mark Twain. The book was originally titled A Yankee in King Arthur's Court. Some early editions are titled A Yankee at the Court of King Arthur. In the book, a Yankee engineer from Connecticut named Hank Morgan receives a severe blow to the head and is somehow transported in time and space to England during the reign of King Arthur. After some initial confusion and his capture by one of Arthur's knights, Hank realizes that he is actually in the past, and he uses his knowledge to make people believe that he is a powerful magician. Twain wrote the book as a burlesque of Romantic notions of chivalry after being inspired by a dream in which he was a knight himself, severely inconvenienced by the weight and cumbersome nature of his armor. It is a satire of feudalism and monarchy that also celebrates homespun ingenuity and democratic values.

Amanda and Jenn discuss book group picks, medieval fiction, sci-fi short stories, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Libby and the Book Riot Bookstore Giveaway. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS here, or via Apple Podcasts here. The show can also be found on Stitcher here.   Questions 1. Hi- going on a road trip with my 22 year old daughter from North Carolina back home to Texas in late November. Looking for an audiobook recommendation to listen to on the drive- something possibly set in the south with a mystery or supernatural bent. We like smart characters and a plot that is twisty. --Jen   2. Hi ladies! I am a librarian at a small library outside Philadelphia with a HUGE book-club-in-a-bag collection (it comes with books, audiobooks, discussion materials--the whole works). I've just recently taken over the collection and I realized that it is tragically white. I'm doing what I can to remedy that, but I was hoping for some suggestions for diverse, newer, fairly accessible book-club lit (or non-fiction!) for the collection. We've got The Underground Railroad, The Mothers, Little Fires Everywhere, Behold the Dreamers, and Between the World and Me, to name a few. Thanks so much! --Katherine   3. Hi Amanda and Jenn!! I listen to Get Booked religiously, and you guys have steered me into so many things I've absolutely loved. I just finished the Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, and it's left me craving more books with meaningful, adult-child relationships where at least one party is choosing to be in the others' life (adoption, mentor-ship, and similar.) What I specifically loved about A.J. and Maya was how genuinely they liked each other as people. I'd love to read more in that vein, if you have any recommendations? Thanks! --Lauren   4. Hello! First I want you to know that I love the show. My TBR list is huge now and My husband keeps side eyeing me as I bring new books home. I'm currently reading Doomsday Book by Connie Willis and it has made me realize how much I love books about the Middle Ages or Medieval times. I've also read the Inquisitor's Tale and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court. What other recommendations do you have that take place in that time or are similar to those books? Thanks so much!! --Olivia   5. I suffer from a chronic pain condition and would like to find books that have conditions similar to mine (or other disabilities). Memoir or fiction would be great. I've read both of Jenny Lawson's books and cried when I found out that she had arthritis because I do not get to read about people with similar experiences much. (No Me Before You please!) --Emily   6. Hi Get Booked Ladies! I have always loved Science Fiction and in the last few months have really gotten into short story collections. I have recently read "Stories of Your Life" by Ted Chiang (this is probably going to be my favorite book of the year), "Bloodchild" by Octavia Butler, and "Three Moments of an Explosion" by China Mieville. I have also loved in the past "The Illustrated Man" by Ray Bradbury. I currently have "​Beyond the Rift" by Peter Watts and "Miracle" by Connie Willis on my upcoming TBR. I am looking for some more interesting and well written sci-fi short story collections!​ ​I enjoy hard sci-fi and first contact stories. Dark, weird, speculative, and bizarre are also great ​descriptors​ for me. ​Just FYI...​I don't​ really​ like fantasy​​ (I never understood why sci-fi and fantasy are ​clumped together). Thank​ you so much​ and love your show! --Andrea :)   7. Hi! I teach high school English, and often listen to the podcast on my way to work, which makes for a lovely commute (but also makes it impossible to write down all of the books I want to read). I work with several young people who are hunters, and want to read about hunting/survival/outdoorsy stuff. We have Paulsen's Hatchet and sequels and Si-cology 101 (Duck Dynasty), which have been popular among this group, and one student is reading Where the Red Fern Grows. Another of these readers started American Sniper but never finished it, and they've all read The Hunger Games. I'm ordering some Jon Krakauer, but I'm looking for more recommendations that might strike a chord with this group of readers - fiction or nonfiction, especially things that are a little more grownup (YA is awesome - more of that, please, but I worry they're not challenged by some of the middle grades texts we have available). Thanks, and I promise to stop the car to listen to your reply (or, even better, listen with students) :) --Jennifer   Books Discussed A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet Jade City by Fonda Lee Crooked Letter Crooked Letter by Tom Franklin The Cutting Season by Attica Locke   Shelter by Jung Yun The Wangs vs The World by Jade Chang My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She's Sorry by Frederik Backman, translated by Henning Koch (recommended by Elizabeth) Ginny Moon by Benjamin Ludwig A Bed of Spices by Barbara Samuel Mistress of the Art of Death by Ariana Franklin The Escape by Mary Balogh The Right Way to Be Crippled and Naked, edited by Annabelle Hayse, Sheila Black, and Michael Northen Pain Woman Takes Your Keys by Sonya Huber Overclocked by Cory Doctorow Galactic Empires, edited by Neil Clarke The Land by Mildred Taylor (recommended by Danika) The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness

In this episode of the Philip K. Dick Book Club we take on one of my favorite early Dick stories (novella to be honest), "The Variable Man". (I mention that Hollywood never took on A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, but I was wrote. There was a 1944 adaptation. I stand by that my claim that this could make a good movie if revisted.) Let me know what you think? Does "The Variable Man" deserve more love?

We welcome SIMONE ALEXANDER to our fort to discuss the Medieval 90s drama and our undying thirst for Thomas Ian Nicholas!

In which Sir Kieran and Dame Leslie venture forward to face Morgan leFay and the even more dangerous villain, Sir the Boss' ego. "Craic" is a pseudo-Irish word used to describe...virtually anything you want to. Fun, jokes, a pleasant atmosphere, a situation or in fact in can also be used to describe something sad or horrible ("bad craic"). It can also be used to enquire about someone's health and wellbeing "what's the craic?" or be used in the place of any verb or noun you're too lazy to think of. Sir Kieran overuses it, so just insert whatever noun or verb floats your boat.

David and Elise contemplate the sweater chauvinism of Bing Crosby, the charms of William Bendix, whether or not women on the internet ogling Gene Kelly's butt is categorically different from objectionable objectification, the timeline of Scottish witch trials, and the pros and cons of purity-obsessed utopias that don't allow people to go to university in this episode devoted to two time-travel Technicolor musicals, or semi-musicals, A CONNECTICUT YANKEE IN KING ARTHUR'S COURT (1949) and BRIGADOON (1954). Note: in response to listener complaints about both Dave's and Elise's volume (depending on the episode and/or your ears, one or the other of us is always too loud), this episode has been run through the Levelator, which is neither a lost sci-fi novel by Henry James nor a new James Cameron movie, but some type of software. Let us know if it's an improvement and some day soon we'll do the same for our back catalogue!

A Connecticut Yankee In King Arthur’s Court is a satirical novel that depicts a contemporary American, Hank Morgan, who is transported to medieval England. In the court of the legendary King Arthur, Morgan uses his modern knowledge to face the trials and tribulations of the middle ages. In chapter one, the Yankee and Clarence come upon a town of poorly-dressed peasants and a huge procession. They follow the procession to the castle. The Yankee assumes that the castle is an asylum.

How can you possibly go wrong with a title like that? Answer: you cannot.
