Yeah, after I watched the movie I read the poem in hopes of understanding the movie better. I kinda did, but only because of the analysis article three times the length of the poem itself. Well, it should be no surprise, times have changed a lot and knowing the context makes things much more interesting to read

There's a podcast, it's a bit formulaic and ad riddled, called myths and legends. They do a retelling of Gawain and the Green Knight and I think it's quite good. Blends a few stories and adapts it for a modern audience. He also tends to interspere a few jokes and metacomments as he tells things which can help with some of the friction encountered when ancient stories are told in modern times.
