The one where we review The Death of Robin Hood and Leviticus

Directed by Michael Sarnoski, **The Death of Robin Hood** completely strips away the traditional merry-men pageantry to deliver a raw, grounded, and ultraviolent revisionist drama. Starring Hugh Jackman as an aged, battle-weary outlaw living in self-imposed exile, the film follows a broken Robin who is forced to reckon with the bloody reality of his past when he takes refuge in a remote priory.  - **Fun Flix Fact:** Jodie Comer, who stars as the steadfast Sister Brigid nursing Robin back to health, heavily researched medieval herbalism and religious history on set to ensure her character's philosophical debates with Jackman felt completely authentic to the period Next up, we are diving into the terrifying depths of Adrian Chiarella’s breakout Australian folk-horror film, **Leviticus**. Set in a conservative rural community, the story follows teenage boys Naim (Joe Bird) and Ryan (Stacy Clausen) whose mutual attraction leads their strict religious community to subject them to a harrowing conversion ritual. Rather than cleansing them, the ritual invites in a shape-shifting entity that takes the form of their forbidden desires, turning their deepest longings into a waking nightmare of paranoia.  - **Fun Flix Fact:** The supernatural entity was deliberately designed to mimic the exact mannerisms and voices of the characters' loved ones, creating masterclasses of tension where the actors had to perform scenes switching fluidly between genuine affection and monstrous threat. To celebrate three and a half decades of oversized forest camp, soaring orchestral scores, and unbridled 1990s blockbuster energy, we are looking back at **Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991)**. Kevin Costner’s swashbuckling epic remains an absolute time capsule of peak Hollywood studio filmmaking.  - **Fun Flix Fact:** Alan Rickman famously improvised nearly all of his venomous, scene-stealing comedic delivery as the Sheriff of Nottingham, reportedly asking the screenwriters for permission to "invent" new ways to chew the scenery because he felt the original script played it far too straight. <!--THE END--> - Bryan Adams' iconic power ballad "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" spent a record-breaking 16 consecutive weeks at number one on the UK Singles Chart, becoming an unstoppable cultural phenomenon that dominated the airwaves all summer long.
