About this episode

The episode revisits the 1996 fantasy classic Dragonheart, discussing its unique elements and cultural impact.

We’re revisiting the 1996 fantasy classic Dragonheart... a film that perfectly captures the mid-90s urge to put a cynical knight and a wisecracking dragon in the same scene. We’re talking about the CGI revolution, Sean Connery voicing a giant lizard, and, of course, Dennis Quaid’s legendary decision to do… whatever accent that was supposed to be. 🎧 Did you enjoy the episode?Tap that subscribe button and join us for more throwback movie breakdowns, hot takes, and retro film love. 🚀 Want even more content?Support us on Patreon for bonus episodes, behind-the-scenes chatter, and a direct line to the hosts. 📡 For past episodes, show notes, and more:Head to www.30podcast.com.
