<p><em>MOVIE KNIGHT!</em> Join Tom, Dan, and Sarah as they sally forth unto the WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS OF JOUSTING in the 2001 live-action sports anime, &quot;A Knight&#39;s Tale,&quot; the pre-Game of Thrones medieval fantasy that taught us even the lowliest peasant can change his stars, ignore the oppression of a feudal caste system, and make their dad proud if they just believe hard enough. Like a collection of Pilgrim&#39;s tales, this movie is greater than the sum of it&#39;s parts; this anachronistic period piece uses modern music and The Big Game sports vibes to tap into the melodrama of a rags-to-riches underdog story. Heath Ledger and Paul Bettany give it their all, screaming their passion at you with such unironic intensity that you will be stomp-stomp-clap-ing in your seat like any medieval peasant all jacked up on Queen. Contained within: Chaucer&#39;s literary contributions, uncooked pasta lances, and Famous Dan, real-life best friend of British C-tier celebrity.</p>
