Podcast Episode: Merlin (1998) – Renaissance man

In the spirit of autumnal decay and ren faire dress-up, Brian shares with Dan a formative TV movie, the two-part Merlin starring Sam Neill. Join as they discuss the film’s odd place in movie history, surprisingly stacked cast, dubious Arthurian authenticity, outstanding score, and cyclic reflections on power. Brian also gives Dan a quick rundown of the shoddy but twisty sequel, Merlin’s Apprentice from 2006.
