In this penultimate episode of _The Renaissance_’s epic First Crusade arc, Cameron and Ray finally march the crusaders to the gates of Jerusalem — nearly three years and 2,000 miles after they first set off. Along the way, they tackle imperial betrayal, failed negotiations with the Fatimids, the crusaders’ worsening food and supply situation, and the final collapse of faith in the Holy Lance. As always, the boys riff on pop culture (Entourage, The Room, Seinfeld), personal memories (including a tragic Grand Canyon update), and theological absurdities — all while slowly, painfully dragging us through history like Raymond of Toulouse refusing to abandon a failed siege. Expect the usual mix of absurd humour, historical insight, and just enough blasphemy to keep things spicy.
