In this episode of the show, probably one of the shortest on record, we continue our Richard Lester conversations by talking about one of his period epics, Robin and Marian. Over the course of our chat you will hear us talk about how on paper this movie works as an intellectual subversion of the swashbuckling genre and how in reality it only gets to buckle a few swashes. We also talk about Richard Lester’s interest in period filmmaking and whether his dual interest in absurdity adds to the tonal dissonance permeating the movie, Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn attempting to generate some chemistry and more.
