Matt and David go to the movies

Matt would destroy the time machine; David is nicer

Modern Medieval

by David M. Perry and Matthew Gabriele

Just a brief note to let you all know that we recently joined the great “Historians at the Movies” podcast to talk about one of our favorite films - Time Bandits (1981). Along the way, we talk about the European Middle Ages, the problems of periodization, what periods we would like to visit (or not), and why medieval films always seem to have a blue filter.

Give the podcast a listen. Hope you enjoy!
