Rest your bones, listeners. Today, The Cinematic Schematic accepts a quest from a powerful and mysterious presence (also known as A24), to review and discuss David Lowery’s long-awaited film, The Green Knight. 

Without the proper company, the quest would be long, uncertain, and gloomy. Rejoining this episode are The Cinematropolis co-founders from Planet Thunder Productions, Jacob and Zachary Burns, alongside recurring guest co-host, Laron Chapman.

The film adapts the Arthurian legend of Sir Gawain the Green Knight. Like many recent films, The Green Knight‘s journey to the big screen pre-dates the pandemic. It was originally scheduled to be released over a year and a half ago at SXSW 2020. Unlike many films, writer/director David Lowery decided to use his downtime to re-edited the entire film during the quarantine.

Did the extra time in the edit make it even more worth the wait, or is The Ghost Story director out of his depth in the fantasy genre?

Tune into the full spoiler-free review followed by a spoiler-ish analysis discussion.
