We're freeing up a bonus episode from 2020 in which we talk about 1981's Clash of the Titans, the last great Harryhausen film. It's a Thewly miracle!

Here's a link to the original episode from July 2020.

Just watched it with my 10 year old son. He thought the effects were pretty cool once we talked about how they were made. I thought the scenes with Medusa were still scary and menacingly claustrophobic.

Was just thinking about you guys and your recap skills when I watched 1975's Race With the Devil. The most fun I've had watching a movie in a long time- it's got legit scary occult stuff, awesome 70s car chase action, and funny likable characters- highly recommended!

I was seven or eight. I had a white baseball tee with red sleeves. It was flea market airbrushed with a huge Medusa and 1/3 size Calabos. It was my prized possession.

Love this film! Thanks for choosing this episode for a re-visit. On Bonus episode topics, I always enjoy you two talking about movies, comics, etc. One topic I'd love to see would be an actual play of a tabletop game, be it Delta Green, CoC, DnD, or a full play test of your upcoming game project. I relistened to the interview with Dennis Detwiler recently and was surprised to hear Chad had never played DG even though Chris is such a fan of it! I'm aware an actual play may run up against time constraints of the show format, but I'm sure something could be arranged!

Have always loved this movie, actually saw it in the theater. One of the first films I bought on DVD. Not sure if I can credit it with my interest in mythology, as I was already a devotee of _Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger_, and I somehow knew what a minotaur was before seeing that movie. I could go on, of course, but I shan't; I'll just leave with this fun fact: "cetus" is the root word for "cetacean," so that means giant sea serpents what eat princesses off of rocks are really just whales.

I tried to buy this on dvd, and I acquired a bootleg version. It had all the original art in a homemade box and a homemade CD case and it was even printed on the disc. But the actual movie on the DVD was the new at the time version. So in a lot of ways I am like Perseus going through my own trials.

On the subject of myths getting updated and retold, Stephen Fry’s recent Mythos, Heroes and Troy are a really accessible run of Greek Mythology. If you find Fry’s voice charmingly English (like mine) and not annoyingly smug (like mine) then I really recommend the audiobooks.

Apollo Sitting Up

I forgot about the action figures that Zeus has of everybody in the world. It’s a commentary on how childish deities often are and Bonus! They’re also dorks! Respectfully.

Chad, would you say that you were so taken by Thetis because she was...statuesque? I'll see myself out...

Regarding how this movie got you hooked on Greek mythology... Here's my theory: there are some topics (dinosaurs, UFOs, mummies, – and Greek mythology) that are just perfect honey traps for nerdy kids like us. It's like how every art student is destined to go through a synaesthesia phase. As a Swedish kid, my gateway drug was a terribly produced ”christmas calendar” (it's a Swedish thing - a 24-episode TV show for kids that runs in December). The 1981 one was called ”Stjärnhuset” / The Star House, with an ”old woman” telling the stories related to constellations in the sky to ”the boy” (an actor well in his thirties). It was just those two, plus a camera pan-and-zooming over drawings with voice overs. That's all it took. I'm sure this movie is a more effective first exposure, but one way or the other, you would have found your way to The Old Stories.
