Fancy Movie Time #31: Chimes at Midnight (1966)
🕑 Added 2025-07-28 15:46:50 +0000 UTCOn this episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the Fancy Lads throw on their Onion Knight armor and do battle with a shaky cam, as they cover Orson Welles' 1966 Falstaff-fest: Chimes at Midnight.

One thing's for sure: Falstaff would have LOVED Margaritaville.
On the Next Episode of Fancy Movie Time: Monsoon Wedding (2001).
