Hello, dear friends! Ever wondered what happens when you mix medieval mysteries with gritty realism? Join us as we dive deep into the enigma that is the 1986 film 'The Name of the Rose,' featuring none other than the legendary Sean Connery, alongside F. Murray Abraham and Christian Slater.

In this episode, we leave no stone unturned, and no monk unmocked, as we explore this intriguing yet polarizing film that blends detective elements with a historical setting, all while leaving us questioning more than deducing. We'll chat about the authenticity of the medieval representation, the plot twists that keep you guessing, and whether this European cinema classic was a hit or a miss.

So grab your deerstalker hat and prepare for some hearty laughs and honest critiques. We might not solve the mystery of the mysteriously ugly casting, but we'll certainly have fun trying! Let's get started.
