  Dungeons & Dragons (2000) – A Trainwreck Worth Watching?Gather ‘round, adventurers! 🗡️✨ This week on Big Flying Lizards, host Bryce is joined by Kade and Brookelin Backus from Knocked Prone Podcast to dive into the chaotic, baffling, and occasionally magical world of the 2000 Dungeons & Dragons movie—a film so wild, it makes a Gelatinous Cube look well-organized.🔥 Did Jeremy Irons chew more scenery than a Tarrasque?🎭 Why do the costumes look like a LARP group raided a Ren Faire clearance bin?🐉 And WHERE are the dragons we were promised?! (Don’t worry, we graded them. Spoiler: They flunked.)We’re breaking down the plot armor thicker than a dwarf’s skull, the questionable magic system, and why this movie—despite its 9% Rotten Tomatoes score—still holds a weird, nostalgic charm for D&D nerds. (Yes, we’re part of the problem.)💬 Hot Takes Include:"This budget did NOT roll a Nat 20.""These dragons had less depth than a puddle in the desert.""Trusting mysterious gifts in D&D always ends in disaster. Just ask the rogue."Whether you love it, hate it, or just enjoy watching Marlon Wayans out-snark a Beholder, this episode is your +3 Sword of Podcast Enjoyment. Press play before the DM skips your turn!💬 Did we miss your favorite (or least favorite) moment?
