Waited until I could watch in one sitting, and Thank Goodness I did! Always great! Wonderful breakdown.

You really do put on an enjoyable show. Your enthusiasm adds so much - thank you for doing what you do.

That was fun. May I recommend this quick 50sec spectacle? Dual wielder vs dual wielder fantasy sword enthusiasts. Chaotic, and made for a spectacle rather than any proper fencing technique, but still fun to watch YouTube: Amalgam Sword Company Drizzt Do'Urden vs Artemis Entreri Take 2 (Adam Lytle vs Shahaub Roudbari)

Ahh, the golden age of Flynning

Absolutely lovely review/video, Jill! Apparently I've never seen Scaramouche; if I watch it now, I'll certainly have the tools to deeply appreciate the duels! As a huge fan of Star Wars, I obviously loved the Revenge of the Sith fight but I can't remember if you reviewed that one?

I think the reason they're not made this way anymore is that this was perfect. How can you improve upon it? But if you make your own thing, you can make it in your own way.

Thank you so much for doing this. I also loved the training montage which I know is outside your commentary subjects.

Fun fact - Abraham and Sarah were half-siblings. Abraham wasn't kidding when he told the Pharaoh of Egypt that they were brother and sister. Edit: We need a review of Excalibur. The fights were all improvised to look more real. True story. (Well, at least some of the fights were. I don't know if they all were. I suggest Lancelot vs. Arthur, which ends with... no, that would be telling.)

Damn. Over a year in the making. I remember you saying you might get round to it a year ago in Glasgow xD So I have high expectations for this one, Jill.
