🎬 Welcome back to We’re Too Literary! 🎬

"But where else can you see Sean Connery as King Agamemnon fighting a Minotaur?" Kenny quips, and that's just the start of our deep dive into the wacky world of "Time Bandits" (1981). This episode unravels the whimsical, disjointed, and absolutely unpredictable plot of this Terry Gilliam classic.

We share our initial skepticism about a kid like Kevin diving into history with time-traveling dwarves, only to find ourselves chuckling at the absurdity and questioning the lack of consequences for their timeline-altering antics. From parents more interested in kitchen gadgets than their own son to the delightfully odd appearance of historical figures like Robin Hood, we dissect it all. We also bring our own ideas to the table—how about integrating historical figures into Kevin's everyday life? Or perhaps a more conclusive ending with Fireman Agamemnon stepping in as Kevin's guardian?

And don’t miss our lively debate over the movie's length and our take on modernizing this tale while maintaining its crafty, dream-like essence. Grab your history book and prep your time machine for a ride through this bizarre and whimsical narrative!
