Season 21 Episode 2: CROMTOBER! Brotherhood of the Wolf and Black Death

 

Welcome back, Cromrades! We are currently experiencing some difficulty posting our episode in the normal way. Archive.org is where we generally host our files, and they have had some great difficulties with hackers recently. We are trying to decide what to do. But in the interim, here is our second episode of the Howardian Film Festival, which also doubles as our Cromtober 2024 episode. 

Edit 11/9/24: Here's the episode.

One Things

Season 21 Episode 1: The Wind and the Lion and the Eagle!

 Hile, Cromrades! Join us as we embark on our 21st Season... A Howardian Film Festival! For our first episode, we start out with some 'historical' films... Specifically, we discuss 1975's The Wind and the Lion, directed by John Milius and starring a cavalcade of familiar faces that includes Sean Connery! After that, we discuss 2011's The Eagle, directed by Kevin Macdonald and starring C-Tates, Jamie Bell, and Donald Sutherland.

And, looking forward.... Are you feeling a bit spooky? If so, that's likely because you're catching that Cromtober bug just like we are :) If you want to prep up for our next episode, be sure to check out Brotherhood of the Wolf from 2001 and Black Death from 2010! See you down that star-studded road!

Greetings, Cromrades! We are back to put the final touches on our coverage of The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson, and transition to our next story - Elric of Melnibone by Michael Moorcock!
