Do you not know that, when in podcasting, one must always choose the lesser of two weevils?
On this week's episode of Revenge of the Film Nerds, BK & Jack take to the high seas & dive into a classic historical epic - one of Jack's favorite genres... & one of BK's least favorite. Hear how the film sprang from a beloved series of novels penned by a true eccentric, how 20th Century Fox saw the series as a potential tentpole franchise, how Peter Weir inspired so much passion & investment from the cast & crew, how the film became one of the last great high-budget historical epics, & so much more!
Will Jack get BK to enjoy a period piece? You'll have to listen to find out!!!
