WORST KNIGHTS EVER

by Dane Hanson, Jimmy Paulsen

Narrated by: Mitch Benn

Production by: PsychoToxin Press

Great Satirical, Bawdy Humor and Hilarity!!

In 2001, hundreds of years past the need for any queen to need her knights of the roundtable, the Queen of England finds herself in desperate need of assistance. The majority of her military is overseas and there is a fire-breathing dragon flying amok around her beloved England causing fear and havoc. Hence, all the knighted celebrities are called upon to fight the dragon!  Yes, including Sir Elton John, Sir Sean Connery, Sir Michael Caine, Sir Anthony Hopkins, and others seeking to save the day!

The authors, Dane Hanson and Jimmy Paulsen craft a unique and clever tale involving dragons, knights, and damsels in distress! They use R-rated satirical humor to promote the characters and the challenging situations they find themselves. The characters are portrayed as their real-life celebrity personas – high maintenance, James Bond, etc. in this action-packed narrative.  Utilizing this approach allows the authors to place the characters into absurd situations while balancing silly humor, parody, and satire. It adds depth to the storyline while also drawing the listener in as they recognize each character by their projected emotions and expected behaviors. Utilizing this writing style enables the authors to demonstrate the extensive and varied societal ignorance of today’s times. 

The narrator, Mitch Benn, introduces his performance with his skills or lack of in mimicking the real-life characters. I do have to agree with him, he does an excellent Sean Connery! He spoke each voice uniquely and consistently. Given some of the bizarre situations and dialogue, I found his ability to keep a straight tone amazing! He was consistent with his voices, keeping them straight while switching from Scottish to English to American with ease!

 This is a fun book to be enjoyed and appreciated for what it is – quick-witted, fun, satirical. Especially so because of the hilarity of the character portraying Elton John!  So much fun! Don’t miss it – life is too short, and the world is too seriously wrong in many ways!
