The 13th Warrior with David Lowery
What if there was a 13th Warrior? What if there was a version of Beowulf so grounded in reality that the climactic battle with Grendel just kind of felt like a shrug? What if Antonio Banderas was the lead in Gladiator instead of Russell Crowe? Weâre just asking questions! Filmmaker David Lowery makes his long-awaited return to the podcast to talk about John McTiernanâs Michael Crichton adaptation, a movie that should have kept the title of the original book - Eaters of the Dead . Such a sick title! Anyway, prepare yourself for plenty of Banderas talk, a loving deep-dive into the famous âBanderas learns the Viking languageâ scene, and a reveal of some Blank Check-related easter eggs in Loweryâs filmography (!).
