In Focus returns! This time, Kris, Ed, and Sean take a deep dive into Excalibur (1981), one of the most iconic (and sometimes divisive) takes on Arthurian legend.

Kris leads the discussion, breaking down Excalibur’s unique approach to the myth, its visual style, and how it compares to other Arthurian films. From Uther Pendragon’s chaotic rule to the mysticism surrounding Merlin, the hosts explore what makes Excalibur stand out and where it stumbles.

They also touch on the grounded vs. mystical interpretations of Arthurian legend, the film’s over-the-top performances, and how its gritty, dreamlike aesthetic shaped later fantasy films.

Sean returns after a few episodes away to join in the discussion, and as always, Ed has plenty to say about this 80s classic!
