Not My Fantasy

This week, we’re podcasting to save Hannah from Rottingham! Cullen’s enlisted the help of our good friends and fellow folklore podcasters, Katrina and Geoff, of The Fairy Tellers. We talk about the hyper-specific references to the Kevin Costner Robin Hood film, the community theatre vibes of this film, and whether the jokes were even funny then or now.
Be sure to follow The Fairy Tellers on Instagram @thefairy_tellers and TikTok @thefairytellers! You can listen to their podcast wherever you listen to Not My Fantasy!

Hannah is B-A-C-K! Cullen fulfills his T-H-R-E-A-T to make Hannah watch Disney Channel’s Z-O-M-B-I-E-S franchise. Covering all FOUR MOVIES, we tumble into our magical capitalist overlord’s best race allegory, cheer for our favorite ship #Zaddie, and nearly zombie-out trying to remember Demi Lovato’s ridiculous character name from Camp Rock.

Take a trip with us to Kevin Cosner’s Merry England. A land of butt doubles, Bryan Adams and Ewok Villages. Joining us for this leg of the journey are fellow fantasy podcasters Callum Sinclair and Michael Lee Richardson of Once Upon A VHS. Cullen draws the connections between May Day Festivals and the birth of Robin Hood as we know him, Michael points out the geographical inaccuracies and advocates for more witches in basements, and Callum gives us a surprise lesson on Robin Hood in British Television. We all ask, “was Alan Rickman hot?” and Sean Connery shows up

Where did Robin Hood come from and why is this version Temu Batman? We explore the bewilderingly modern visual and narrative aesthetics of the Taran Edgerton and Jamie Fox Robin Hood which may be the most heterosexual movie we’ve watched on the pod. Cullen delves into the oldest Robin Hood ballads, Krizabeth tries to determine if Robin Hood only helps people to impress Marian, and Hobz asks “wait, isn’t this just real life now?”

Another Snow White adaptation from the 2012 Snow White renaissance–it’s Mirror Mirror!
