## Resource

A peasant impersonates a nobleman to compete in jousting tournaments. Listen as we chat about an early pioneer of anachronisms, text-on-screen that looks like it was written by a second grader, and a hero yelling his own name like that's a normal thing to do. Then we see if A Knight's Tale stands the Test of Time.
