The Medieval Fair of Norman was supposed to kick off this morning, and while we are bummed that one of Norman’s favorite and longest-standing festivals isn’t able to take place this year, think about renting/streaming one (or several) of the Middle Age/fantasy-themed TV and film selections below to get your fix of swords, dragons, thrones, castles and more!
