Goodby and Silverstein play on many a medieval movie cliche in this spot promoting Netflix and Wii Twist – knight goes on quest, leaves behind sad and worried maiden, but leaves a token of his undying love with her so that she might always look toward the day he will return. Of course, the ‘piece of him’ this guy leaves his maiden isn’t exactly the norm in the days of yore, but at least she can help deal with her grief by checking out many more movie cliches thanks to Netflix. If she manages to figure out how to use it, that is.
