"It's Dungeons And Dragons Plus Renaissance Faire... Squared!"

Give me a documentary about nerds, apparently, and I'm sure to make it my "Hidden Gem" DVD pick of the week for CBC Radio. Previously, I've used the airwaves to praise such films as The King of Kong and Billy the Kid, and this week I talk about Darkon, Luke Meyer and Andrew Neel's terrific documentary about a community of armour-clad LARPers in Baltimore, Maryland. I didn't mention this on the air because it's such a minor tangential observation, but for what it's worth, I suspect the film was a big inspiration for Paul Rudd when he was writing the script for Role Models. Anyhow, here's the link to click to give the segment a listen.
