Episode 106: The Three Musketeers Part I: D'Artangan (2023)

In this episode, Dustin steers our course back to something a little more modern, but that is decidedly trying to take a new stab at a very old story. Prepare yourselves for some epic historical action and join us as we check out Martin Bourboulon's The Three Musketeers Part I: D'Artangan. Can this new iteration on the franchise breath in some new life to the classic tale or does it crush itself under the very weight of modern film tropes? Tune in to find out our reception. But before all that, Jason catches Dustin up on Severance so he can understand all the memes flying around and we dig in for a wide range of animated features we've both been watching recently. And so much more!
