Film Pigeons Episode 17: Beowulf, Ben-Hur, Top 4 Insanely Long Movies

On the seventeenth episode of the Film Pigeons podcast Andrew, Eddie, Mark and Sara travel back to a simpler time, where conflicts could be resolved through naked swordfighting or uber-violent chariot racing in our reviews of Beowulf and Ben-Hur. We also list our Top 4 (insert catchy Film Pigeons 4 catchphrase here) insanely long movies.

Also, Eddie stays awake long enough to regale us with a steady stream of profanities and Olde English and Sara befuddles us all with her precise knowledge of the interpretive stance Robert Zemeckis takes on the intricacies of ancient Denmarkian texts. Mark, on the other hand, is just happy to hear his name in the word Denmark.
