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? We\\u2019re just asking questions! Filmmaker David Lowery makes his long-awaited return to the podcast to talk about John McTiernan\\u2019s 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 \\u201cBanderas learns the Viking language\\u201d scene, and a reveal of some Blank Check-related easter eggs in Lowery\\u2019s filmography (!).
