Kermode & Mayo’s Take · Is this the darkest ROBIN HOOD adaptation ever? + BILL PULLMAN · 3 Sep 2026 podcast

years and I I thought it I did them really well really well.

It's like this is a good week this week.

Okay, yeah.

So Michael Sonofsky interview from last week.

If you've if you've missed it, do go back and listen to it.

Because I thought he was terrific, wasn't he?

I thought he was really he gave complete answers in full sentences.

He'd really thought about the movie, and I thought that was that was great.

So he was the writer-director of uh that the cult uh hit Pig and the sci-fi horror prequel, Quiet Place Day One.

So this Death of Robin Hood is inspired by the seventh seventeenth.

Century ballad, Robin Hood, His Death, which itself apparently was based on the last six stanzas of um, is it a guest of Robin Hood or a jest of Robin Hood?

And the tagline for the film is He was no hero.

And on the basis of this, boy he wasn't.

Set uh in thirteenth century England, shot as it happens in Ireland, and he said uh that at the beginning the most of the places they were gonna show have been sort of washed away in storms, and there is a there is a lot of stormy murk.

Huge action is Robin Hood, not a hero who stole from the rich to give to the poor, but a cutthroat bandit whose past is absolutely dripping in blood.

He has lived long enough to know about the legends that have grown up around him.

One of which, incidentally, is repeated to him quite early on by a young woman whose family he has slain and who promptly.

Becomes the latest inhabitant of his growing graveyard of victims.
