About this episode
The episode discusses the film Hawk the Slayer while touching on various humorous topics.
It’s no fantasy, it’s true, this week we’re swinging our swords at Hawk the Slayer (1980). Along the way, James attempts to explain maths to Paul, meanwhile he lists the many uses of silly string, and both of us get musically irritable about audio cues.
