Tim then gives us a preview of what we can expect this year on the paddle pod as he continues to take an alternative approach to the sport, something he's calling Project: Sail Mary.

• For real though, how badass is the original Robocop?
• Has Bob been listening?
• Did E.T. listen far enough to hear us name a segment "I ain't goin!"?
• Did E.T. then listen past that to learn we changed it to the "Bishop Bullwinkle 'To the naw naw"?
• Will the next Bob Dylan biopic end with a mid credits stinger where we see a shimmering white glove enter the corner of the frame and a very high pitched voice asks "Bob, do they even know its Christmastime at all?" BUM BUM music and you see the words "Bob Dylan will return in BAND AID"?

It's a Solo Micko episode today as Colin talks through three of his favorite King Arthur movies. He starts by shatting on Tim for turning into the Timestamp Police (a minute or so in), then apologizes to all the King Arthur movies he won't be talking about (right after that), before jumping into the meat and taters of the episode:

Excalibur (like 5 or 10 minutes in) the John Boorman directed epic from 1981 and how well it holds up.

First Knight (after Excalibur, probably around the 20 minute mark?) and how it had Colin's Partner yelling "is that his real hair?!?"

Finally, King Arthur (near the end maybe like 30 minutes or so, who cares?) from 2004 directed by Antoine Fuqua who has directed all three of Tim's favorite The Equalizer movies. Is this the best assembled collection of knights since Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights? Listen to find out!

Apologies for my audio. I recorded in the great hall where the round table is and it has terrible soundproofing.
