Popcorn Eschaton 8 - The 13th Warrior

Zebras In America

We have a special guest joining Popcorn Eschaton: Joshua Arminio, brother of co-host John! Joshua is a former Arabic translator and current counselor and he brings his unique perspective to a film he and John have been obsessed with since they were kids: the John McTiernan/Michael Crichton 1999 historical epic 'The 13th Warrior'! Scott, Josh, and John discuss what makes 'The 13th Warrior' so engrossing, why it does not hold the reputation of other McTiernan action films or Crichton adaptations, and how it illuminates the spiritual practices and cultural perspectives of both the ancient Vikings and the Islamic Golden Age!
