Antonio Banderas accompanies some Norsemen to stop the attacks by a hellish pack of bloodthirsty invaders. Who lives? Who dies? Who tells their story? Probably Seamus Heaney at some point.

We're back after our brief excursion to Starfleet to talk about The 13th Warrior, an often forgotten film, so much so that most people don't even realize it's meant to be a retelling of the epic story of Beowulf. Joining Matt and Frank for this #deepdive is Andrew Radespiel, part-time lawyer and full-time history buff. If you've ever wondered how the first English-language story was written, whether or not mead is halal, or if the Viking lifestyle is for you, here's your chance.
