A wild romancish history--human faced bears, swamps, English-dubbed knights--coupled with a delicious smoky honeyed treat: the Scotch Neg!
Special guest stars Matt Sergi and Dylan Coley crash the Fails to discuss the unheralded and wild morality play about Life learning to Die and learning to Live, while Matt and David slowly sip a brown and yellow stripey
Secret codes, schizoid populism, radical Christian National MEGA-lomaniac spit-swapping doggerel and the seismic priestly violence washed down with an allspice lemon delight.
The barrage of William's assholery as he wrecks his own people, and the barrage of high Scoville agony as David wrecks Matt.
Ex post facto fake news propaganda for Henry 4 with a purple ass-crap Nixonian cocktail.
Tyrants resists dreams and a tiki exploding fire brain breaker
Is Chaucer out of control? Is the Canterbury Fails studio out of control? Is this whole thing completely out of control? With tiki drinks.
5 minutes after David gets home from a late flight and breaks into his own house, we have to answer the simple question: "Can a poem be both a justification and an interrogation of the ways of God to man?" We try and mos
Can a compendium of terrifying recipes for female health problems represent resistance to patriarchal authoritarianism? And can a violet brandy disaster taste any worse? Find out on this week's Canterbury Fails.
A bearded Coley and plain faced Hussey debate Cynewulf's ethnic ideological steamroller with special guest appearance by a demon, Judas (not the one you think), and a very stern war-lady. Plus an anisette and smoke blast
CHAUCER'S DEAD. So dead. Dead. Dead. Dead. Dr. Gillespie and Dr Echard discuss this, plus John of Gaunt's decaying phallus, Gower's poseur tomb, King Arthur's butterfly bishop, and more.
The rank and brutal foulness of the brown fizzy berry cruelty overwhelmed the judicial malfeasance and filicidal love of these Middle English moral exempla. Everything sucked.
Matt and David freak the hell out about Beowulf after an exploding flaming cinnamon disaster / triumph, and one of us still has glitter in our teeth. Hwæt?
In the first episode of season 5, Matt and David ask--and do not quite answer--whether we can read medieval English literature in terms of fascism or antifascism. The new direction for the podcast. Plus a literally on fi
Matt and David bring the Canterbury Fails roadshow to Kalamazoo with six amazing guests: Valerie Allen, Ruth Evans, Martin Foys, Jordan Zweck, and Jeff Stoyanoff and Kara McShane. They cover some kooky and intriguing Fai
The set up is so juicy: dissolution, gluttony, corruption--but no, it's a moral Scottish march through politics, ethics, and penance, with a 3x3 drink that does what it should but not what it could.
Buried in an eighth-century Latin letter from a monk who keeps his name a secret is a two-line maybe heroic nugget of juicy maybe heroic wisdom. We read it.
Matt and David try to grapple with a late Middle English anti-money tract, but there isn't much to work with, and the cocktail is a citrusy paean to sadness.
A reflective reading of Jesus and his loaves and fishes, chock full of allegorical goodness, and a world class Old Fashiouned (TM): thank you Canada!
A very special stunt episode where Matt and David read unseen (by them, but no doubt Furnivall has read them all) and give their gut reactions / hot takes, as they peregrinate through breweries in Port Moody. Chaos, 80s
