Amanda of Swell Entertainment returns as an impromptu guest host because M1 per usual, provoked her. So Swell is back with a vengeance, and she’s able to bring years of academic study against our morning of youtube research as we break down The Green Knight.

Amanda of Swell Entertainment returns to defend the honor of Dev Patel in The Green Knight, and lucky for us, her english major is finally put to good use. Because let’s face it. We, like many of you, have a great many questions about medieval literature and why in the fuck, Dev Patel’s character does what he does in this story. The answers may frighten us, but we do come to some conclusions in this episode that are unlike anything else we’ve seen or read about this movie.
As always, make sure to seek out Amanda’s channel, Swell Entertainment on Youtube, and enjoy her new podcast: Swell Shenanigans. You can also follow her at luvu2golka on Twitter and Instagram. She’s one of our favorite guests for a reason, and although we don’t make many demands of you, this is one. Do support her work, and yes please, help her pay off that English Major if you can via her Patreon at Swell Entertainment.
This is an Oscars Profile movie review episode on The Green Knight, which means we begin with a non-spoiler section to introduce the film, discuss our movie watching experiences, and give you our spoiler free reviews of the performances, production values, and yes, some overall thoughts on the story, which to be fair, are shorter thoughts than usual because we desperately need to get into spoilers on this one ASAFP.
So after minute 17, and our spoiler warning, we jump into a spoiler filled discussion on what in the actual fuck happened in The Green Knight, both in its literary and cinematic forms. Amanda helps us out in the former, and we wonder which version of the story would have better served the film. We also thoroughly breakdown the Dev Patel character, the baffling decisions made by and for him, and then dive into a what it all means conversation that gets down and dirty. In other words, this is most definitely a NSFW episode that you should keep from your kids until they are much much older.
Regardless of our differing opinions, we unite in an immature sense of humor and laugh like fools. So as always, we’re open to your thoughts. We’re at MMandOscar on Twitter, and we are at Mike, Mike, and Oscar on Instagram, Facebook, Reddit, and Gmail. You can subscribe / rate / review / like / share / & hear us on Apple Podcasts, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Google Play, Tune In, Spotify, and just about wherever you might listen. We’re Mike, Mike, & Oscar, and we’re making awards season year round, without the stuffiness. Thank you! And do stay safe, everybody.
