Episode 13: Robin Hood

The Wonderful World of Darklords

Oo-de-lally! Oo-de-lally! Welcome to Wonderful World of Darklords! One year ago today, we aired our pilot: a domain ruled by a petty, vindictive lion who usurped his elder brother's throne. To celebrate our podcast anniversary, we're returning to that well with another petty, vindictive lion who usurped his elder brother's throne: Prince John. Topics discussed include:

• The challenges of Ravenloft-izing a movie in which the hero is far more dynamic, interesting, and competent than the villain (not a common issue in Disney movies);
• The darklord powers that a villain as pathetic as Prince John can bring to the table;
• How to bring horror into one of the most lighthearted, silly, and non-horrific movies in the Disney canon, without going against the spirit of the Robin Hood legend;
• The potential that the Merry Men have for guerrilla warfare, creepy fey magic, and unspeakable cultic practices;
• and more!
