Today, Matt and Todd dive into the original classic Clash of the Titans (1981), directed by Desmond Davis and starring: Harry Hamlin, Laurence Olivier, Judi Bowker, Maggie Smith, and Burgess Meredith.One of the most epic adventure films of its time, Clash of the Titans premiered in the summer of 1981, bringing the legendary Laurence Olivier to the screen as Zeus, whose command for the destruction of Argos sets off a thrilling chain of events.The film is best remembered for its groundbreaking special effects, crafted by the master of stop-motion animation, Ray Harryhausen. His work, including the unforgettable Medusa and Kraken sequences, remains influential in fantasy filmmaking.While Clash of the Titans takes heavy liberties with legendary accuracy, it delivers a thoroughly entertaining and timeless experience—a Greek legend reimagined through the lens of English playwrights and Hollywood sensibilities.We hope you love this fantasy classic as much as we do!Matt reviews and ranks more movies including newer ones at ⁠Letterboxd⁠You can find out what he's following on Bluesky @MovieMattSirois.bsky.socialCheck out favorites of what we follow, at: ⁠⁠⁠Once Upon a Geek⁠⁠⁠⁠ and  ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Fade Out Podcast⁠⁠ As Marcus he reviews all sorts of films but unlike here, they often they range from bad, worse, or terrible at the ⁠⁠⁠⁠MovieAsylum of the Weird, Bad and Wonderful⁠.

After a short hiatus, Lee and Leah are back to cover the Desmond Davis-directed and Ray Harryhausen-produced "Clash of the Titans" (1981). How does the last film to feature Harryhausen's stop-motion effects hold up in 2023? Does it matter if they are considered outdated, or are they still effective with modern audiences? Due to having a decade between their respective ages, the hosts spend a lot of the conversation relating their experience with the film, and if when they first saw it had an impact on how they view it now, as well as just gushing over the effort behind the effects work, regardless of how old it is. Also, several listener comments (including a Apple Podcasts review!) and what they've both watched as of late are talked about.

The Gamble Montessori High School football team captured its first conference championship in program history this past weekend. "It was unimaginable," junior center/defensive lineman Desmond Davis said. "This program has been going up and up. We just keep getting better and better every year. I love it." Gamble Montessori coach Rob Rachel is very proud of the program which has persevered the past few seasons. "I am so extra proud of them," Rachel said. But, don't think for a moment that the Gators (6-3) are finished with their goals this season. Gamble Montessori is No. 12 in the Division V, Region 20 computer points standings. Rachel along with junior running back/linebacker Brent Thompson and junior center/defensive lineman Desmond Davis joined the WCPO High School Insider podcast to reflect upon the Cincinnati Metro Athletic Conference Blue division title. "We can see a difference in the attitude of the players this year," Gamble Montessori athletic director David Miller said. "Last year we had a chance and we just didn't perform in the CCPA (Cincinnati College Preparatory Academy) game. Last year we made the playoffs for the first time and we are looking good this this year. Everyone is real excited. The team has a little bit of an edge this year." Week 10 brings plenty of storylines around Greater Cincinnati high school football. You will hear from Withrow coach Kali Jones as the Tigers clinched at least a share of the CMAC Red division title. Madeira coach Chris Stewart discusses Friday's game against Wyoming which will be for the Cincinnati Hills League between the undefeated teams. You will also hear from Highlands coach Bob Sphire as the Bluebirds defeated host Covington Catholic 32-21 to snap the Colonels' nine-game win streak in the rivalry series. Plus, a look ahead to the final Friday of the Ohio regular season with the playoffs on the horizon.

Ray Harryhausen's final film marked the popular early 1980s adventure based on ancient Greek myths, CLASH OF THE TITANS.  Harry Hamlin stars as Perseus, the illegitimate mortal son of Zeus who ends up falling for the beautiful princess Andromeda, having to overcome puzzles and a variety of vicious beasts in order to gain her hand in marriage.  If only she weren't slated to be sacrificed to the giant (and reportedly invincible) Titan known as the Kraken... Laurence Olivier, Maggie Smith, and Burgess Meredith are in supporting roles in this dated but charming fantasy flick.

"Release the Kraken!" Those words were first shouted in 1981 in the now classic Desmond Davis film Clash of the Titans with effects by the incredible Ray Harryhausen. In 2010 Louis Leterrier remade Clash with modern effects to mixed reviews. Comedian Monty Scott joins the invasion team to see who would win in a fight, Harry Hamlin's Perseus versus Sam Worthington's Perseus, or Laurence Olivier's Zeus against Liam Neeson's Zeus. We pull out all our Greek mythology knowledge and take these two fantasy films to task the only way we know, in a Clash of the Titans! Like, share and subscribe!
