In this episode of JS Short Cuts, I’m defending the critically panned movie “A Kid in King Arthur’s Court” and while I think the uncut version, which you can check out for $1 per month on Patreon, goes into better details I think this version still does a fun job getting my points across as clear as possible despite the hard time I had with editing the episode.
