In this episode, we launch into our first theme block of the year placing our focus onto Fantasy films. Which, as Jason is keen to add, includes a bit of specific focus on medieval style fantasy. It all kicks off with Jason's pick as we check out the influential Dragonslayer from 1981. Dustin struggles to overcome his bias for Peter MacNicol as Janosz in Ghostbusters II. Jason plants his flag on the hill declaring Vermithrax Perjorative as the all time greatest dragon ever put to film. But before all that we do our usual whirlwind overview of the genre and highlight some iconic fantasy flicks across the decades. And so much more!
