Deadliest Warrior: Viking vs Samurai

Nick Slayton stops by the show to watch a new episode of Deadliest Warrior. Be amazed at the swing of the ax, the toss of the spear, the cutting of some dead pigs.

Hessians vs Blackwater

Now if they put Attila the Hun up against Former Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo, that one I'd want to see (#iykyk)

Here's how you do Deadliest Warrior about modern fighting forces: do a bracket. The Small Countries League. The Central African Conference. The Technical Tourney, brought to you by Toyota. 1970s Irregulars. NATO Junior Varsity

I feel like, if you have the upper body for it, the great axe is mostly about the footwork

It's important to get a medical opinion on such matters.

Dr Dorian coming in hot with his expert opinions again: "Yeah, that Great Ax would fuckin' killa ya."

I've read Eaters of the Dead. It's great. But the nature of the story format means it doesn't escalate quite like the movie. The movie has the score and building tension to really sell it. One of my favorite "this isn't a great movie but it is good and trying for something" movies.

13th Warrior is one of those delightful movies that I will always love. I'm an English major. I've read Beowulf almost as many times as I've read Hamlet. I haven't read Eaters of the Dead, but as far as I'm concerned 13th Warrior is the best adaptation of Beowulf. Even better than the one where Angelina Jolie plays motion captured Grendel's hot mom.
