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!
