Dragonheart (1996)
Podcast: Shat the Movies: 80's & 90's Best Film ReviewPublished On: Wed Sep 23 2026
Description: Commissioned by Michael S. from the UK, "Dragonheart" promised swordplay, knights and old codes. What it delivered was a Funko Pop-headed CGI dragon, Dennis Quaid auditioning for an Oscar that was never coming, and a plot hole so big you could fly a wyvern through it. Gene and Big D break down the visual effects that aged like milk, the casting choices that could have saved the film (Schwarzenegger?!), the one question the movie never bothers to answer, and why Dennis Quaid delivers "Honor won't feed my belly, nor shoe my horse" like he's filming Braveheart. Plus: listener emails from a 25-year veteran teacher who vindicates our Mr. Holland's Opus take, and a new listener who recently found the pod and has been binging from episode one.
